Vladimir Putin has warned that "a new stage in world history" is coming in a speech in which he condemned "the model of total domination" by the West.
During the address on Wednesday in Moscow, the Russian leader took a swipe at the populations of Western countries, which he described as the "golden billion", and asked why their leaders should "impose their own rules of conduct based on the illusion of exclusivity" which he believed was "inherently racist and neo-colonial."
"One gets the impression that the West simply cannot offer the world its own model of the future," Putin said, as he described how the dominance of the West owed itself to "the robbery of other peoples both in Asia and in Africa."
He singled out India in particular as being "robbed" in his criticism of colonial powers. With Russia facing sanctions from the West due to his invasion, trade ties between New Delhi and Moscow have strengthened since the start of the Ukraine war and Russia has pivoted towards countries like China and Iran.
This week, Putin held meetings with Iranian and Turkish leaders in Tehran in which he looked to forge a new alliance in response to tough measures imposed by the U.S. and its allies, predominantly in Europe.
Putin said that the global "elites" were now "terribly afraid" that other parts of the world "may present their own options for development."
"But no matter how much Western and supranational elites strive to preserve the existing order of things—a new era is coming, a new stage in world history," he added.

Np. Dont get me wrong, i am no fan of “globalism”. These people have power and influence no doubt. But I just come across so much way “out there” stuff here and i guess it is a pet peeve..
Listening to Putin complain about the globalists is like hitler complaining about how bad stalin is. Putin wants the breadth of the globalist influence in the form of a revitalized ussr and brics, while the globalists would love to have the power to persecute opposition like putin has. Two sides of the same coin. Those who side with Putin against globalists remind me of those foriegn waffen ss units who sided with hitler against communism. Both were/are fools.
I understand your point of view and we are all entitled to that. Different perspectives should be welcomed. Some here don’t believe in that. “My way or the highway”.
