RT — Berlin and Paris look East: How close are we to a Common Economic Space?

This is an important post geopolitically and geostrategically. It not only articulates Russia's likely take on it, it is quite accurate in my view also.

In the end, the US cannot prevent Eurasia uniting economically from the shores of the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the Mediterranean to the Arctic.

North America is simply not positioned geographically to be able to do this longterm, and the US will sap itself by trying to do so, if it doesn't spark a nuclear conflagration that could easily render the entire Northern Hemisphere uninhabitable for centuries.

Beijing, for its part, tends to cling to the status quo – as in not desiring Tehran to get any closer to the West because that would mean a freer hegemon in its "pivoting to Asia" mode, which China, correctly, identifies as containment. 

Further on down the road, Tehran can use a rapprochement with the West to increase its bargaining power with Beijing. Assuming a deal is reached this summer, Tehran will be in an excellent position to extract concessions – on the economy, security, defense – from its Chinese partners.
