This book describes the development of events on the global stage in connection with the dissolution of the Soviet Union. We get a brief look back at the geopolitical situation in Russia, which was very vulnerable at the time before and after the Kosovo war in 1999, and during the catastrophic development of the return of capitalism during the time of President Boris Yeltsin.

However, since Vladimir Putin took office in 2000, he has been acting resolutely to resolve the border dispute with China and link Germany and Turkey to Russia through various gas pipeline projects. Furthermore, he develops and strengthens relations with SCO (Shanghai Cooperation Organization) and BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa).

The author visits Santa Fe and Cebu in the Philippines, where he dialogues with a retired major from the Swedish military intelligence service, a former US commander of the US Pacific Fleet, and a retired colonel for the border police between Mexico and the United States.
