english: Europe went right up to Russia, went right down to the Middle East, and if the world were truly becoming more flat and more Americanized, that would be less of a problem, but in a G-Zero world, those countries nearest Russia and nearest the Middle East actually have different economic capabilities, different social stability and different political preferences and systems than core Europe.
non_english: Evropa je otišla skroz gore do Rusije, stigla skroz dole do Srednjeg istoka, i kada bi svet zaista postao ravniji i amerikanizovaniji, to bi bio manji problem, ali u svetu sa G0, te zemlje koje su najbliže Rusiji i najbliže Srednjem istoku imaju različite ekonomske mogućnosti, različitu društvenu stabilnost i različite političke preferencije i sisteme od središnje Evrope.
