Putin: “The world is changing, the West accepts it”
An irreversible revolution is taking place in the world, but the United States and other Western countries continue to delude themselves that it will be possible to return to the previous equilibrium, said Russian President Vladimir Putin in his speech at the plenary session of the San Francisco Economic Forum , Petersburg, and reaffirmed his geopolitical idea. “The United States has not noticed that several other centers with their own development models have been created in recent decades that have the right to be protected. It’s a revolution. The role of countries that are developing dynamically and progressively is growing and their interests can no longer be ignored, as they believe that everything will be as before, they are irreversible,” Putin added. “Things will never be the same again, but some Western leaders remain under the illusion that this is not the case, clinging to the past and believing that they will forever dominate business and politics. But there is nothing eternal. These leaders argue with the categories of the last century and are prisoners of their illusions.
