Peace, Chewing Gum, No NATO: Putin Proposes 'New World Order'

Peace, chewing gum, no NATO: Putin proposed a “new world order” Irina Chebotnikova

ISW analysts analyzed Putin's statements and came to the conclusion that the dictator contradicts himself. He proposes that the world community live by one set of principles, but he himself professes completely different ones.

24 The channel, citing ISW, will tell you what kind of “new” order the Kremlin has come up with. Earlier, the Institute for the Study of War wrote that Putin probably wants to reset relations with Trump.

Cancel NATO, but don't give up friendship with Iran and Pyongyang

Putin's proposed “new world order” emphasizes an interconnected international system without major states or security blocs, but the Kremlin's actions contradict and undermine the ideals and principles he has proposed, the ISW report says.

The Russian plan calls for:

• openness of states to interact with each other;
• absence of universal dogmas;
• accounting for the views of all countries in global decision-making;
• rejection of security blocs that unite groups of states;
• “justice for all”, including the eradication of xenophobia and intolerance;
• “sovereign equality” of all states.

This sounds good, but in reality the dictator does not stick to his proposals. He seeks to strengthen his power in Russia and influence other countries – for example, Moldova and Georgia. In addition, he flirts with a group of anti-Western states such as North Korea, the People's Republic of China (PRC) and Iran. And, of course, he is fighting in Ukraine. All this does not look like a rejection of security blocs at all.

In addition, under the beautiful words about “taking into account the views of all countries” and “justice for all” one can drag out the weakening of the West's position and the strengthening of the Kremlin in the world.

“The Kremlin is likely seeking to use this rhetoric to distract attention from Russia's real efforts to undermine pro-Western governments and spread its influence in the international arena, as well as to facilitate the expansion of BRICS and the so-called “new Eurasian security architecture” that the Kremlin created to counterbalance NATO,” ISW concluded.
