Why do I post these articles? It is because I think knowing what Russia is saying and thinking is important and enlightening. The challenges that face world peace at his time make it imperative that we take advantage of every insight into the minds of the leaders of Russia and China that is available to us. The reality is that peaceful coexistence with Russia and China in this nuclear age is an absolute necessity and should be the pursuit of every sane person. The alternative is annihilation. To believe anything else is absurd. The adults in the US, Russia and China must seek a state of peaceful coexistence or we all perish. I believe our new administration realizes this and will act accordingly. I pray that Putin and Xi will agree. Government leaders create war. The people fight them. Those left alive return to their homes and pick up their lives where they left off. It has always been this way in the past. WW III will leave none alive.
MOSCOW, November 26. /TASS/. The West is unwilling to accept the loss of its past power and is deliberately undermining the situation in key regions of the world, the head of Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), Sergey Naryshkin, said.
"Euro-Atlantic elites <…> stubbornly refuse to accept the loss of their former dominance. They are trying to convince the rest of the world that the only alternative to Western power is chaos, and for this purpose, they deliberately seek destabilization in key regions of the planet," he said, speaking at the 20th meeting of the heads of security and intelligence agencies of the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) countries.
The SVR chief stated that the West operates "like criminal authorities, following the logic of 'you die today, I die tomorrow.'" He noted, however, that "the revolutionary aspect of the current situation is Washington and its allies' decreasing ability to execute their destructive plans." Naryshkin added that "the main challenge they face is the innovative efforts of responsible regional powers striving to independently ensure peace and security for their nations."
Unlike the West, which "sees everywhere either itself or an object of suppression, conquest, and even robbery," Russia "proceeds from the possibility and even necessity of synergy of states and civilizations," Naryshkin stressed. "We are at the beginning of the history of coexistence of civilizations and the transformation of the world order," he added. "Just as young wine bursts old bellows, so multipolarity does not fit into Washington's global system of domination and subordination based on the dollar and the arbitrary actions of one state," Naryshkin concluded.
MOSCOW, November 11. /TASS/. In his future policies, including those on the Russian track US President-elect Donald Trump will rely on the commitments to the forces that brought him to power, rather than on election pledges, Russian presidential aide Nikolay Patrushev told the daily Kommersant in an interview.
"The election campaign is over," Patrushev noted. "To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them."
He agreed that Trump, when he was still a candidate, "made many statements critical of the destructive foreign and domestic policies pursued by the current administration."
"But very often election pledges in the United States can diverge from subsequent actions," he recalled.
Republican Donald Trump outperformed the candidate from the ruling Democratic Party, Vice President Kamala Harris, in the US elections held on November 5. Trump will take office on January 20, 2025. During the election campaign, Trump mentioned his peace-oriented, pragmatic intentions, including in relations with Russia. |
