Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin used his speech at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum to blast the collective West’s sanctions crusade against his regime.
In this speech, Putin stressed that the sanctions levied against Russia will blow up in the EU, the United States, and the rest of the West’s faces. As Tyler Durden of ZeroHedge noted, this pain has become notable with regards to “soaring gas and food prices, inflation fears, and severe supply chain shortages.”
In this speech, Putin proclaimed that the unipolar order of the 1990s is over.
Putin said the following:
Over the past decades, new powerful centers have been formed on the planet […] each of them develops their own political system and public institutions, implements their own models of economic growth, and, of course, has the right to protect themselves, to ensure national sovereignty. We are talking about real processes, about truly revolutionary, tectonic changes in geopolitics, global economy, the technological sphere, in the entire system of international relations.
In the initial days of the war, the US and EU leaders bragged about bringing Russia to its knees via sanctions.
