"Kita semua menuduh Vladimir Putin nostalgia Perang Dingin, tetapi elit Washington - politisi dan intelektual - ketinggalan zaman dulu juga. Mereka berharap dunia di mana Amerika Serikat benar-benar dominan atas teman-temannya, musuh-musuhnya harus dijauhi sepenuhnya, dan tantangannya sangat mencolok, bermoral, dan vital. Dunia saat ini berantakan dan rumit. Cina adalah salah satu mitra dagang terbesar kami dan saingan geopolitik kami yang menjulang. Rusia adalah spoiler masam, tetapi memiliki kelas menengah global dan telah menciptakan ikatan di Eropa."

--- Fareed Zakaria

Versi Bahasa Inggris

We all accuse Vladimir Putin of Cold War nostalgia, but Washington's elites - politicians and intellectuals - miss the old days as well. They wish for the world in which the United States was utterly dominant over its friends, its foes were to be shunned entirely, and the challenges were stark, moral, and vital. Today's world is messy and complicated. China is one of our biggest trading partners and our looming geopolitical rival. Russia is a surly spoiler, but it has a globalized middle class and has created ties in Europe.
