Good that the following messages have been understood :-Reply
Soft touch, soft approach to appeal to members is through friendly contest of ideas, contest of economic benefits, financial benefits, trade, investment etc.
In this way new and innovative financial forum or framework, trade forum and framework can evolved - that lead to more diversities offer to the World - that will benefit World trade, Global trade, more funds for new development, infrastructure buildings, more source of finance etc blah blah blah..... $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
When this happen, members will be entice not to leave the Bloc and new members will be entice to join the membership - because it benefit the World Community.
However if hardline or military coercion is adopted, it will result in the opposite effect. Others will forbade hardliner to join the Trade forum, Economic forum, Financial forum, economic sanction will be imposed - restricting trade, finance supply, business, investment etc ---- that result in poor Economic performance, poverty, isolation, miseries and losing alot of friends.

The West-Russia hotspot is due to the following root causes :-
(1) Ex-bloc members of Russia bloc - is moving over to the West - attracted by positive influence mainly in Economic, trade, business, investment, travel, technology, education etc as well as social influence such as political openness, freedom, democracy, human rights etc.
(2) Russia will see this as a threat because Russia see the losing of influence from ex-Russia bloc members - where previously the ex-bloc member support the power base of Russia. Losing members will be seen as erosion of Russia power base - which trigger Russia to act - not hestitaing even to use force, corecion or military intervention.
(3) The West will protray Russia's action as hostile - as these ex-Russia bloc members are sharing borders with Europe as well as Russia. Where proximity with shared borders - will mean survival threat ---- and it is like a kinder ignited by a spark ---- and reactions are usually heated and military skirmishes will become an eventuality.
With this background, with this historical baggage of West-Russia divide of cold war ---- there is a need to baseline a Peaceful framework on how the West & Russia handle ex-bloc members breaking from one Bloc to join another Bloc ---- without resorting to force, coercion or military intervention.
The reason being, any military skirmishes between the 2 Blocs - will have a devastating consequences if it go out of control - as the 2 Blocs has conventional and nuclear arsenal - to destroy one another many times over.
Engagement should focus on :-
(1) Friendly Contest of ideas
(2) Friendly Contest based on economic benefits, financial benefits
(This is how China engage the West).
Military intervention - is very dangerous - it will cause isolation, seen as hostile forces that are willing to wage war ----- will be destructive.
