Russia presents itself as a center of power that stands opposed to the superpower determined
to ignore Russia's interests. If this happened in the nineteenth of even first half of the twentieth
century, the dominant power would have responded with the use of force to punish the impudent
state. Today, in the twenty-first century, a direct military confrontation between the U.S. and Rus-
sia is hardly possible. How can the U.S. and its satellites respond?
Today, the situation is unique: for the first time, Russia is showing the road toward a new order
without wars, which invariably accompanied the past changes of the world order. This task can
be resolved if the claimants of the status of new centers of power are strong enough to persuade
the dominant center of power to resist the temptation to smash the potential rivals by force.
