Medvedev warns that Western-led world order will soon collapse
The so-called rules-based order imposed by the US and its allies on the global scene is an unstable structure, which is about to fall apart, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev has said in an exclusive interview with RT.
Creating crises such as the conflict between Russia and Ukraine in various places is how the US is trying to rule the world, Medvedev, who now serves as the deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, told the broadcaster on Saturday.
“So, the more crises they create, the better, they think, the situation is for America... It makes money from weapons, supplies, and by allocating money to its defense industry,” he said.
“The Americans are getting what they want at the price of more blood and casualties. This is why the Americans are engaging in feeding the war. But that system is coming to an end,” the former president warned.
The authorities in Washington “feel the world is falling out from under their feet and they are resisting it in every way possible,” he said.
This is why the Americans see BRICS and other unions currently being created around the globe, in which the US has no say, as “hostile,” Medvedev explained.
Washington and its allies accuse the members of those groups of “violating the rules-based order,” but, at same time, cannot explain what this order is,” he said.
“I have carefully picked through the legal text and studied it: it is incomprehensible. It is not clear what the order is and who approved it. It is really just an idea of the US and its allies, while mostly in NATO, of how best to do business in the world,” the former president stressed.
According to Medvedev, the rules-based order is actually what the West believes “is right,” adding that “once you are out of this order, you’re a perpetrator.”
The uni-polar world that the US is trying to preserve is “always prone to war and unfortunately results in conflicts,” he said. Meanwhile, the multi-polar system that Russia and other BRICS members are working to build “implies making a connection between different poles” and creating “a world in balance [that] is always relatively stable,” he explained.
