Un livre en anglais à lire sur la guerre froide et daprès lauteur, cest Poutine qui en est le vainqueur. Le monde change. Alors, gare aux bons elèves. [...] Putin has transformed Russia from a sickly former Soviet state into an energy powerhouse to become: The second-largest oil exporter in the world, on pace to pass Saudi Arabia very soon; The largest uranium exporter in the world, powering 1 in 10 American homes; The largest natural gas exporter in the world, doling out with an iron fist and willing to cut off supply and watch harsh winters kill thousands to get its way. While America and the West weren’t watching all this develop, Marin Katusa had a front-row seat. He’s seen Putin’s mounting influence on the global energy trade firsthand. The Colder War, the US can no longer afford to ignore Putin. Putin is on the march [...] In Marin’s book, you’ll discover that Putin is: A man of great intellect: Putin is just as calculating as he his physically strong. He’s a master strategist with the patience to see out geopolitical maneuvers that take decades to come to fruition. He doesn’t bluff, and nearly everyone in America gets his true objective wrong. A determined foe: His family nearly starved to death during the Nazi siege of Leningrad; he saw the wall fall in East Germany and his nation disgraced when the USSR collapsed… Putin’s passion for protecting Russia and restoring its might runs deep. His will may be unmatched in a world leader. A ruthless warrior: Putin annihilates those who get in his way. He leveled Chechnya, silenced dissenters, poisoned journalists, and jailed and bankrupted businessmen—the list goes on and on, and the message is clear: if you come after Putin, he’ll return force tenfold.
