This book investigates the geopolitics and strategic dimensions of US-American foreign policy during George W. Bush's and Barack Obama's presidential terms. Based on a vast amount of empirical and historical sources, the author offers deep insights into the recent political developments ('Arabellions') along the axis of Northern Africa, the Middle East, and Central Asia, situating them in the context of the global geopolitical and geo-economical Great Game, either latent or overt, between USA/NATO and Russia. The author also analyses the influence of the US on these historical and political processes in the last two decades. 

The book delves into the historical dynamics of geopolitical and geoeconomic rivalry between the USA and Russia, particularly in light of NATO's eastward expansion. It examines the USA's foreign policy and ambitions, highlighting the significant roles that Wall Street and the military-industrial complex play in shaping political decisions. This analysis provides a nuanced understanding of the underlying factors driving contemporary tensions between the two nations.
