MOSCOW – Strategic vision has never been a Russian attribute, and it certainly was absent in 2012. Russia’s vast territory continually seems to obscure for its leaders the need to plan for the future, while its seemingly infinite supply of natural resources convinces them that the country can handle any contingency.
莫斯科—战略愿景从来不是俄罗斯的习惯，2012年，俄罗斯显然没有战略愿景。俄罗斯广袤的领土似乎一直打消着其领导人做未来规划的需要，而其无穷无尽的自然资源供给让他们确信，俄罗斯可以度过任何意外。
