Taking up and adapting the ideas of the founders of modern geopolitics (MacKinder head and "Heartland" Eurasian) pre-twenty-first century world, Brzezinski explains, so it is no longer clear what should be (and that is) foreign policy of the United States because many of the vows / advice provided by "Zbig" were actually made 18 years later. An example? The need to weaken Russia by eradicating its sphere of influence Ukraine that the Russian bear loses its "empire status" finally renounces challenge US leadership and integrates with more or less long term a Europe subjugated and carefully padlocked by Uncle Sam. And France in all this? Power "mean" to be charged by the US overlord of caring for a field she knows well, Africa. It still should take care to keep it in orbit Atlanticist (with Sarkozy "American" -as Holland and many others ....- derived from the French American Foundation, so good for this side). Note that Zbigniew Brzezinski will feel compelled to update his address after September 11, 2001, "The True Choice" so be published in 2004, but will not bring anything fundamentally different to what has already been stated in this importantissime "Grand Chessboard" .
