1. The venturesome US policy in Georgia, the deep both financial and economic crisis that staggered the whole Western world, have definitively revealed inability of the United States to control the modern history course. The models of contemporary world order based on contraposition - the East-the West; the North-the South, the Center–the Fringe – do not seem working any more for the geopolitical scenarios of the future. The multi-polar approach towards alliances and conflicts between the world scene actors allows us to geographically point out the Latin America and Eurasia as the major centers of the new world order.
2. It has to be noticed, however, that the decline of the unipolar world under the US aegis is by no means an evidence of the end of the Washington hegemony, its presence, including the military one, is being kept at the vast territory of our planet. The new geopolitical forces will have to confront this, now diminishing, hegemony, for years. Compared to the past, such hegemony, it should be specially stressed, is, perhaps, even more dangerous to the international stability precisely because of its unsteadiness and vulnerability. That is why, to maintain it Washington and the Pentagon have to hardly keep the balance, as the Georgian conflict has so evidently shown.
3. To confront the USA, or, in other words, to find reasonable and weighed decisions that would decrease the risk of troubleshooting on the planet without some new turmoil China and Russia have to proceed from the assumption that the ex-superpower, though being the ‘confused nation’, today, is still the geopolitical unit of the continental scale, the master of its own coastal territories. With its Navy and Marine Fleets still going strong, this nation is still everywhere-ever-present actor, whenever ‘the game of chess’ is going to be played on the planet.
