MOSCOW, February 21. /TASS/. The United States has been blatantly destroying the post World War II world order to build an American style world where ‘there is only one master’, Russian President Vladimir Putin said in his State of the Nation Address to the Federal Assembly on Tuesday.
The US has withdrawn from the ABM Treaty (on limiting missile defense systems TASS), as you know. Everything is in the past. It’s important to point out that our relations (the US Russia relations TASS) have deteriorated. And this is all thanks to the US. It was they who, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, began to revise the results of World War II, to build an American style world in which there is only one master, one lord, Putin said.
To this end, they began to crudely destroy all the foundations of the world order laid down after World War II, to erase the legacy of both Yalta and Potsdam. Step by step, they began to revise the established world order, dismantling security and arms control systems, the president stressed.
According to Putin, the United States has planned and carried out a whole series of wars around the world. And all, I repeat, with one goal to break the architecture of international relations created after World War II, the head of state pointed out.
Putin added that the US after the collapse of the Soviet Union sought to forever establish its global dominance, not taking into account the interests of modern Russia, and the interests of other countries. Of course, the situation in the world after 1945 has changed: new centers of influence have emerged and are rapidly developing, he continued, But it is unacceptable that the US has begun to reshape the world order only for itself, exclusively in its own selfish interests.
