The U.S. Strategic Interest in Russia  

by Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr.

Lyndon H. LaRouche, Jr. outlines a policy for positive U.S. relations with Russia, focussed around science- driver programs to fuel global economic development. The hateful influence of Halford Mackinder’s geopolitics on U.S.-Russia relations, “expressed by, among others, that pathetic offshoot of a Central European lackey-dom, Zbigniew ‘Woody Woodpecker’ Brzezinski,” must be replaced, LaRouche writes. “U.S. cooperation with the role of a Russia best described as ‘Europe in Asia,’ is of the highest importance for the future of a republic, our own, which is now gravely imperilled by the presently onrushing, greatest financial collapse in the existence of this planet.”
