The collapse of the USSR left Washington with the full weight of responsibility for world leadership, the president said
The United States was unable to manage the responsibility of being the world’s only superpower after the Cold War ended, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at the World Youth Festival (WYF) on Wednesday.
The WYF runs in Sochi from March 1-7, hosting some 20,000 young people from Russia and abroad for sporting and cultural events, competitions and panel discussions.
Addressing participants at the festival, Putin noted that after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, the US elite had an opportunity to take advantage of their new “monopoly on world leadership.”
“I believe that the United States has failed to handle the burden of responsibility that fell on its shoulders.”
The president predicted that as the multipolar world develops, “fundamental changes will also occur in Europe.”
Despite the current hierarchy in the Western world, the “desire for independence and protection of one’s sovereignty still breaks through to the surface. This is inevitable for the whole of Europe,” the president noted.
The expansion of the BRICS alliance has been viewed by many economists as marking the end of undisputed US hegemony in the international arena.
“The growing appetite for an alternative to the prevailing international order is important in itself — and marks a failure of US leadership,” business and finance news outlet Bloomberg wrote last year.
The combined GDP of the BRICS countries has already overtaken that of the G7, and will grow further, Putin predicted.
BRICS, which previously comprised Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, grew in size this January with the inclusion of Saudi Arabia, Iran, Ethiopia, Egypt and the United Arab Emirates.
In the past year, the members of the grouping have moved away from using the dollar and euro in internal settlements, instead shifting towards the use of national currencies. Western sanctions related to the Russia-Ukraine conflict have forced Moscow to move away from Western currencies and the SWIFT system and to further develop its own MIR system of payments.

If our leaders supported us like Putin supports his people, we wouldn’t have this cultural mess.
While i vastly prefer Putin to Biden, leaders are not the sole reason America is circling the drain. We were an exceptional people. We have now become ,pronounced with several eees, “special”.
No. It is hubris to consider one people exceptional The idea of the West, with its due process, based on observable, unwavering, natural first principles, was exceptional, and appealed to many across vastly different cultures. There is no indispensable nation, only unignorable reality.
For the religious, how could there be preferred peoples, if all children are of one deity? Only acts are good or bad . . . such as murdering some children of that deity, in that deity’s name. Maybe that’s where it all went wrong: manifest destiny – a sly name for a pretense to transcendence of jungle law.
If you give the culture, ideas, religions, and ‘natural first principles’ (lol) of the English or Germans to Bantus and Malays, what do you get?
I don’t recall a ‘god of children’ in any pantheon, He must not be too important.
?
If you give ‘the idea of The West’ to niggers or chinks, what do you get?
Bantus and Malays, what do you get? It may be interesting to note that Africa never built a two story structure until the arrival of Caucasian men to design and build them. Today, even after centuries of “progress,” Africa remains pretty much of a crime and disease infested shit hole.
Germany, on the other hand, freed itself from the iron grip of the International Zionist Banking cartel, and rose to a world power with full employment, prosperity and unparalleled industrial advancements.
The White European race remains a threat to their devious schemes to this day, which is why only the White nations are under attack in Europe and North America.
Esau/Edom still hates the true Israelites of the Bible and wants their birthright reclaimed.
Not gonna happen. Their Babylonian empire has been scheduled for destruction.
I wasn’t aware Christianity defines ‘preferred peoples’, that’s news to me! 😂
Even in the Jewish religion the Jews are the chosen people, not the preferred people. In the old testament god punished them often for failure to follow his law.
Still IS !!! But WE were told to bless them, regardless. For OUR benefit.
It’s a recognition that Salvation came through their bloodline for ALL Mankind…which was God’s Decision.
Those occupying Palestine today are NOT descendants of Biblical Israel. They are Khazarians, which originated near the Black Sea and is now part of modern day Ukraine. They are Esau/Edomites, which are a cursed race that are hell bent on eliminating the White race from the earth.
Hosea 4:6 declares that” my people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” Perhaps it’s time for Whites to turn off the electric Jew and do some research.
God himself stated that “of Jacob (true Israel descendant of Abraham and Isaac) whom I loved and Esau whom I hated.”
Don’t like it- take it up with God.
DISCERNMENT……is the Biblical word….
Discernment, synonymous with DISCRIMINATION, which was once the gift of good judgement… now despised by idiots .
Peace, L.
The scriptures describe a 4000 year history of genocide and the destruction of great nations. The Old Testament justifies genocide in the same language the Talmud justifies our undoing today. You have to read the whole script. Not just the parts Christians imagine was spoon fed to them by diving epiphany. There is nothing truly spiritual coming from the tribe or their scriptures. Only Armageddon. Which Satanists, Muslims and Zio-Commie Jews all consider divine prophecy. Making each Abrahamic doomsday school of indoctrination an integral part of the other. We can do and be better.
America was exceptional to other nations in freedom, opportunity and natural resources. Freedom and opportunity are what are being taken away, natural resources have been artificially limited. It has nothing to do with a deity.
Sounds as if you might have read The 5000 Year Leap. Excellent synopsis.
Nope, just observation, never heard of your reference.

Has EVERYTHING to do with HIM…..
What is “freedom”?….
A little hint……..The Ten Commandments!
If one dedicates their life to fulfilling the edicts in the TC,one is ALWAYS free!
Don’t murder,NOBODY is looking retribution from you…You’re FREE!!
Dont rape,covet,pillage or plunder nobody is looking to DISPATCH you,YOU’RE FREE!
Get it??????
Belive Jesus Christ walked the earth or not(I do…)there is NOTHING WRONG with these ideas/ideals!
THAT is what created Western Civilization !!!
Agreed, and I’m NOT a bible thumper, just my personal code. I don’t feel the need to sell or save anyone.
Peace, L.
By losing our Religion,we have lost the ability to “discern”…..what the left refers to as “judging”…..in the process we lose FAITH……in….unfortunately everything.
Its a lack of faith in anything that makes life difficult……why freaking bother?…right?!?…..
If we didn’t have leaders the world would be a better place. Alas, we aren’t even remotely near that level of consciousness.
No. You demonstrably ARE at that level. “We” are not. But there is no “we.” That’s what those who seek to rule eternally push, and the many accept.
E Pluribus Unum – The mating call of the red handed warmonger.
Putin’s full Q&A at the World Youth Festival (turn on auto-translated subtitles):
That man is an exceptional Human Being . I speak a little Russian from my international school days so I follow it, (a bit). This man has a clear mind and an uncanny ability to require No Notes or no Prompts to get a message across. I can think of no leader in my 70 years who was so so gifted on his or her feet. Taking questions that are out of left field is his Forte. America should join Russo
Yep, been saying that for some time.
I somehow couldn’t help but notice that the Ruble is NOT the world reserve currency, so…?
More and more nations are dumping the dollar as a unit of trade, in favor of the ruble, yuan, and rupee. The sitting and unduly appointed Commander in Chief has created insider information. Considering the Biden family history of corruption the intentional tanking of the dollar should be seen as an example of Biden’s profiteering. Putin profiteers too. Demonstrating the two working towards a common goal which is bad for the West.
America’s biggest problem is the corporate deep states ownership of our elected officials…that, and the fact that we have allowed an unconstitutional FED to issue our currency since 1913.
The tribe controls Putin as much as it controls Biden. The sanctions against Russia serves as an artificial transference of wealth from West to East. Facilitating Putin’s expansionist ambitions all too well. In no way have Zelensky and Bidens actions worked at cross purposes to Soviet Putin. Both Zelensky and Putin are all too happy to send White Nationalists to kill one another under false pretenses. Facilitating the Zio-Commie interests. When the White Nationalists are gone, who will defend a Western World that is quickly becoming a faded memory?
“The sanctions against Russia serves as an artificial transference of wealth from West to East.”
😂 🤣
The stupid, it burns!
Name calling starts when the facts are indisputable. What was that you said about “stupid” again?
Sad when so called Conservatives resort to Leftists tactics.
Tell us again how the sanctions, especially cutting off most Russian banks from SWIFT, “serves as an artificial transference of wealth from West to East” 😂,
instead of recognizing that’s effectively a currency control that blocks transfers –
against flows from the “West” towards BRICS, as obviously the former are losing and the latter winning!
Trump’s energy policies outcompeted Putin. Rendering Putin economically insolvent to make good on his expansionist ambitions. Biden’s energy policies and sanctions have devaluated the dollar to the benefit of the ruble and yuan. Making more and more nations dump the dollar as a trading unit. Thus, the wealth of the East increases at the expense of the West. The result is obvious and could be considered the creation of insider information for those who had the heads up. All international banks are interconnected no matter the artificial acronyms assigned. We are talking about a sitting President who was part of a previous administration which sold Putin 15% of our weapons grade Uranium. But we’re supposed to believe Biden and Putin are at cross purposes now? Makes no sense when every sanction and energy policy Biden has imposed has helped Putin and the Russian economy. As if Biden and his monkey handlers were doing it on purpose.
😂 🤣
“Trump’s energy policies outcompeted Putin.” Entirely meaningless, after SA stopped jumping at every US’ command, and therefore the marginal price of a barrel of oil wasn’t under the control of the US anymore.
“Biden’s energy policies and sanctions have devaluated the dollar”
Come again? Without his ‘energy policies and sanctions’ there would be no high inflation in the US?? Trillion dollar deficits (not caused by ‘energy policies and sanctions’) don’t play any role?
“Makes no sense when every sanction and energy policy Biden has imposed has helped Putin and the Russian economy.” 🤦♂️🤦♂️ And that was all part of the plan! Next tell us that all recent prez helped Little Kim and the North Korean economy as well 🤣
You’re just being intentionally stupid. And doing a good job of it. It’s a certain brand of rhetoric. Attempting to talk over reason and facts. Practicing by mainstream media, the political establishment, mainstream pseudo religion, and troll farmers. Unfortunately the internet gives voice to even the worst, most hateful, and most ignorant among us.
I like it how you signal you ran out of arguments without saying you ran out of arguments.
You: “Facilitating Putin’s expansionist ambitions”
Also you: accusing me of “Practicing [to talk over reason and facts] by mainstream media, the political establishment”
😂 🤣
Stop it, you’re killing me!
When exactly did you present an argument? Just mindless rhetoric and banter. I’m just speaking in a language you can understand. Least I did not resort to emojis. What are you, like 3 years old?
Tell us more about “Putin’s expansionist ambitions” and the other things you picked up in the Western MSM!
MSM? What are you on about now? Remember when Obama was caught telling Putin he could do more when reelected? Or Hillary sold Putin 15% of our weapons grade Plutonium? Biden was part of that administration too.
As for Putin he has made no secret of addressing “Nationalism” in Sweden, Poland, Lithuania Estonia and elsewhere. Biden has done less than zero to thwart those ambitions. In fact Biden’s sanctions and energy policies have facilitated those ends. Ends which Trump’s economic and energy policies denied Putin the economic solvency to wage sustained warfare.
You can’t even make up your mind whose side you’re own. Apparently arguing against everyone, from both sides of your mouth. When the problem is with your own addled mind.
Now list for us the countries in which the US did not just address, but actually themselves factually brought
Nationalism‘democracy’: Yugoslavia, Iraq, Libya, Syria, …What a clown you are!
Don’t you mean countries we brought central banking controlled puppet governments to? Typical low brow Zio Commie trash you are. Attempting to play both sides, and trying to infiltrate true Conservativism/Nationalism. I had you pegged from your style of rhetoric. You are not smart enough to play this game.
I bet you wouldn’t know how clearly describe true Conservativism if your life depended on it.
I’m not laughing with you. I’m laughing at you.
Make sure to not accidentally answer my challenge!
I don’t believe that the people of the West should allow themselves and/or their language to be defined by hostile foreign people such as yourself. Or your Armageddon promising false God. Conservatism in the literal sense means to save and preserve. Something not possible within the framework of Abrahamic indoctrination. Though it is the basis of multiple Eurocentric belief systems. Life and creation don’t need your kind, nor a hostile God whose own scriptures, sold under multiple brand names, offers doomsday prophecies, which in description and intent differ nary an iota from Satanism and/or Communism. The latter two being yet two more Abrahamic schools of indoctrination.
Nice to know my thoughtful posts have kept you up until a quarter past three and you still could not muster an intelligent reply. Flail on troll farmer.
A non-answer: “Conservatism in the literal sense means to save and preserve.”
Save and preserve what? And save and preserve to what point in time? (i.e. what do you make the reference point)
You still have so much to learn.
Maybe start with considering if ‘literal’ always provides the truest interpretation… instead of alternatives figuratively, or symbolically.
Attempting to rewrite the definition of language to suit your Zio Communist rhetoric? We’re not playing your bait and switch games here.
I’m losing patience with your fixation and limited grasp of conversation. Have anything but circular banter? Don’t think so.
Make sure to not accidentally answer any of my questions with more than a non-answer, Ziocon!
Speak for yourself clown show
OK, so you cannot define Conservatism.
If stupid burns you must be on fire.
