We Are In The ‘Post-West World Order’ Says Russian Foreign Minister

Fact checked

Russia’s top diplomat Sergey Lavrov says that we are now in the post-West world order.

The Russian Foreign Minister said that Western powers are going through the “painful” process of learning of their loss of influence.

In an interview  with the British outlet channel 4 news , he said that a new multipolar order, driven by economics and history, is emerging in the world and that attempts by the West to stop or to slow it down were unlikely to succeed.

“I think that we are in the post-West world order” Lavroc said, adding “it is a historical epoch, if you want. Certainly, after five or so centuries of domination of the collective West, as it were, it is not very easy to adjust to new realities that there are other powerhouses economically, financially and politically,” referring to China, India and Brazil.

RT reports: Asked if Russia was shaping this world order, Lavrov replied it was rather the product of history and “development itself.”

You cannot really hope to contain [these] new powerful, economically and financially, countries. You cannot really ignore their role in world trade and world economy,” despite attempts to slow down the process with sanctions and tariffs, the top Russian diplomat said.

The European Union is “certainly a very important pillar of any world order,” Lavrov added, but it needs to decide whether to remain reliant on the US or become more self-sufficient. By way of illustration, Lavrov brought up the migrant crisis, which the EU is currently struggling with.

“NATO bombed Libya, turned Libya into a black hole through which waves of migrants, illegal migrants, rushed to Europe. Now EU is cleaning the broken china for NATO,” Lavrov said.

Russia’s relations with the West, which have soured dramatically since the 2014 US-backed coup in Ukraine, will be among the topics discussed at the July summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump in Finland.

  1. Lavrov is sitting back and watching the NWO destruct in the West while the criminal shielding MSM is in total rebellion and denial. .

  2. Europe will be a very different story from the US.
    How do you guarantee the wealth of a nation:
    – low or no taxes
    – little regulation
    – private property
    – free speech
    ..which is the way the US is going now (again).
    How do you guarantee the (economic) misery of a nation?
    – higher and higher taxes
    – more and more regulation
    – erosion of private property
    – censorship (‘hate speech’)
    ..which is the way Europe is going under the successful dictatporship of the 4th Reich named ‘EU’
