Changes

The United States, as head of the [[Western alliance]], and [[the West]] itself, cast off its illusions of "[[liberal democracy]]" and came to be dominated by [[corrupt]] [[globalist]] [[oligarch]]s.  The transition to a multipolar world began to emerge, rejecting Western attempts at blackmail through economic sanctions.  Caving into American demands meant a loss of [[sovereignty]], and these developing nations wished to preserve their [[traditional values]], and follow their own course of [[social]], [[political]], and [[economic]] development.

Russian President [[Vladimir Putin]], in a television interview in February 2023 said that the [[NATO proxy war in Ukraine]] is part of the New Cold War between the competing forces over the direction of the global systemic transition, which [[Moscow]] wants to lead towards multipolarity while [[Washington, D.C.|Washington]] wants to retain as much of its fading unipolar [[hegemony]] as possible. The outcome of this struggle will literally determine the future of [[International Relations]], which will in turn enhance or erode every country’s sovereignty, which is why it’s of concern to everyone in the world.<ref>[https://korybko.substack.com/p/putin-made-five-very-important-points Putin Made Five Very Important Points During His Latest TV Interview], Andrew Korybko, February 27, 2023.</ref>

Prof. Glenn Diesen of the University of South-Eastern Norway, and an editor at the ''Russia in Global Affairs'' journal wrote: "The current international disorder is caused by an interregnum – the world is currently stuck between a [[unipolar]] and a multipolar format.  [[The West]] is pushing for a return to the unipolar era that existed before [[Magnitsky Act|sanctions on Russia]] and the economic war against China.  However, the two Eurasian giants, Russia and China, have spent the past years adjusting to a multipolar system.  The West will insist that on maintaining liberal [[hegemony]] due to a commitment and belief in [[liberal values]], among [[elitism|elites]] (although that is no longer uniform), while Russia and China will reject a value-based system that is instrumental to impose an untenable unipolar order.  There is no going back as the world has moved on, although the West is not yet ready to move forward."
