New World Order: Change has occurred.

PUTIN'S speech at the Valdai Club is an important one. Putin announced that the USA's desire to impose its own world order is not acceptable. Geopolitical realities have changed, and this must be recognized by the political leadership of the United States. He asserted that the West imposed the Ukraine War on Russia, a war it did not start.

US politicians have also lost touch with real politics, as they are pursuing the old, aggressive policy.

In the follow up of the sanctions to squeeze Russia of its economic resources, US apparently misjudged. The BRICKS and decolonization is the phenomenon, a direct result of the sanctions by the United States. The sanctions, the world financial institutions and the swift financial transaction system are turned into political tools. This state of the affairs could not remain static. The only constant is political change. Putin also criticized the United Nations for its...
