Obama's Legacy Is a New Cold War

But Russia's revanchism is not merely limited to the European theater. Demonstrating that Moscow's new freedom of action extends to Asia as well, Putin traveled to Shanghai on Wednesday where he signed an agreement with Chinese President Xi Jinping for the export $400 billion in Russian natural gas over the next 30 years. This preemptive economic attack comes in response to the West's impotent threats to limit Russian energy exports to Europe.

The move represents a tectonic shift in the geopolitical balance of power toward Asia. It cements years of Sino-Russian military cooperation by creating critical economic bonds. China, too, has it's own expansionist agenda and has been instigating incidents in the Pacific with the aim of carving out it's own uncontested sphere of influence.

The conservative columnist Charles Krauthammer said on Friday that this development reversed the achievements of Henry Kissinger and Richard Nixon who deftly exploited the Sino-Soviet split in 1972 and created a competitor for Moscow’s dominance of the communist world in Beijing.
