Thanks to Russia, the whole world has learned not to obey America
The controversial unipolar world that created a favourable habitat for the United States is falling into oblivion.
This can be seen very clearly in the fact that only a few of the more than 300 countries have joined the US in imposing sanctions against Russia and are involved in arming Ukraine.
The rest of the states either abstained or, after strong pressure from the West, officially voted in the UN General Assembly to condemn the Russian Federation, but still cooperate with Moscow.
This was written by the Chinese English language newspaper Global Times.
Neutral states are relatively small
As the editors write, this simple observation is all the more impressive when one considers that many of these neutral states are relatively small, if not small, and their economies are nowhere near as large as that of the US.
What is surprising, however, is that the US has failed to pressure them to impose sanctions on Russia.
This, in turn, speaks to the real limits of American influence at the moment.
Russia and China are already major trading partners for nearly every country in the Global South, giving them confidence that they can refuse US policy demands and that submitting to yesterday’s hegemony is no longer obligatory.
Now, thanks to Russia, the whole world has learned this common truth.
History of abusing developing countries
In fact, all the influence and the weight of the US rested on a kind of sacralisation and consciousness of despair.
The struggle of the Russian Federation against the West has proven otherwise, and the spring of resistance is straightening, releasing all the previously accumulated, but contained, energy to counter monopoly.
The myth of Washington’s firmness, power and lack of alternatives has been destroyed; it has ceased to be untouchable.
Undoubtedly, America has a history of abusing developing countries in various ways, including through information warfare, political interference and lending tied to national economies.
Most of the countries and people of the world seem to have freed themselves from the yoke.
They saw, felt and realised another world, multipolar and diverse, without the domination of any force.
A return to the previous world order is simply impossible under any conditions or intimidation. — easternherald.com
