The US' neoconservative policymaking faction and the EU's liberal-globalists (essentially one and the same at this point) continue to perceive Russia as an enduring rival to contain and ideally dismember.
That's why they're expected to refine their ongoing Hybrid War on Russia in the coming future through the following three means.
The first involves their efforts to win the “tech race”, specifically in terms of AI and the Internet of Things, which they envisage will enable them to lead the “Fourth Industrial Revoluti...
