  1. I think Alexander is referring to Asia and Europe en bloc when he uses the word 'Eurasia', the implication being that they are basically one continent with the two parts remaining geographically distinct but with the major countries in the region still sharing similar and sometimes overlapping geopolitical interests, peace and prosperity being chief among them. I don't think he's trying to erase Russia at all. Russia straddles both continents and can therefore, under certain circumstances, be referred to legitimately as Eurasian. This is not meant as an insult to Russians, merely a statement of geographical fact.

  2. The US political economy is dysfunctional and everyone suffers as a result.
