孤独的帝国——俄罗斯与新世界无序（回望大国政治交往，解读俄罗斯如何与世界各国互动，读懂一个“既熟悉又陌生”的邻居）

by 波波·罗, 袁靖 (Translator), 傅莹 (Translator)

The Russian annexation of Crimea was one of the great strategic shocks of the past twenty-five years. For many in the West, Moscow's actions in early 2014 marked the end of illusions about cooperation, and the return to geopolitical and ideological confrontation. Russia, for so long a peripheral presence, had become the central actor in a new global drama. In this groundbreaking book, renowned scholar Bobo Lo analyzes the broader context of the crisis by examining the interplay between Russian foreign policy and an increasingly anarchic international environment. He argues that Moscow's approach to regional and global affairs reflects the tension between two very different worlds--the perceptual and the actual. The Kremlin highlights the decline of the West, a resurgent Russia, and the emergence of a new multipolar order. But this idealized view is contradicted by a world disorder that challenges core assumptions about the dominance of great powers and the utility of military might. Its lesson is that only those states that embrace change will prosper in the twenty-first century. A Russia able to redefine itself as a modern power would exert a critical influence in many areas of international politics. But a Russia that rests on an outdated sense of entitlement may end up instead as one of the principal casualties of global transformation.

本書原著出版於2015年。
所以已經在這麼早的時間之前
就已經預定好俄羅斯解體的結局了嗎？

⋯⋯俄羅斯走到今天這個地步，
一開始就已經是沒有朋友的宿命。
原著標題並沒有《孤獨的帝國》，
只有俄羅斯及其望梅止渴的帝國野望，
與其德性相匹配的下場就是新世界的DISORDER

作者和譯者是如此罕見地靠譜。

就各國沒收俄國境外資產這一點，
我覺得俄羅斯真的是示範給中國看，
就示範一次，仁至義盡。

霍布斯叢林主義（狼性精神）+零和博弈遊戲規則
=通向歷史法庭的獨裁者大殺器

拉丁諺語所謂報復不是不會來，
是會一點一點的必然來到。
