Russia needs America and the West in order to realize its ambitious initiative to establish international centers of uranium enrichment, and it needs Western markets, which are the largest consumers of Russia’s gas and oil. Moreover, it is in the West where the rich and powerful Russian elite likes to travel, go shopping, and send their kids to school.
