Medvedev: To the XVI BRICS Summit
To the XVI BRICS Summit: https://t.me/medvedev_telegram/536
The formal English translation has a slightly different headline: On the eve of the 16th BRICS Summit
Remember: “…there can be no alliance between Russia and the West either for the sake of interests or for the sake of principles, that there is not a single interest in the West, not a single aspiration that would not plot against Russia, especially against its future, and that would not try to harm it. And that is why Russia’s only policy towards the Western powers is not an alliance with one or another of these powers, but their disunity, their division. For only when they are disunited from each other do they cease to be hostile to us – out of impotence, of course, never – out of conviction.” Fyodor Ivanovich Tyutchev, 1864.
Unfortunately, nothing has changed in the past 160 years. And the goals remain the same – the maximum weakening and humiliation of the West, including Europe. The US itself helps us in this. After all, their goal is domination over the Old World (as well as over the rest of the world).
And then there can be only one goal – the collapse of the United States itself. Or – at a minimum – the creation of a full-fledged counterweight to America, as was the case during the existence of the USSR and the Warsaw Pact. And here the prospects for a new balance are already visible: the SCO, BRICS, other regional unions, the comprehensive development of relations with the countries of the Global South.
After all, the alternative to such a balance of power is total war until the complete extermination of humanity.
A world without balance in today’s conditions will not last even a decade. If the West does not realize this simple truth, it will be the end for everyone. And this is not a situation where the death of some will mean the victory of others…
Ed: There was a time when we considered Medvedev an Atlanticist. He has proven himself otherwise. It is noticeable that Lavrov and Putin whisper sweet words that BRICS is not against anyone, it is an organization that protects its members’ interests and practically works for growth of its members. Yet, we all know that what Medvedev says is the real picture. Good cop, bad cop?
Ideologies are rigid, tend to not adapt. Political philosophy, on the other hand, adapts to new realities. Both Medvedev and Karaganov are, imho, of the latter group. Times change. And with such change, political philosophy adapts. In 2014 things were different. Occam’s Razor suggests that the views over time that… Read more »
Hi folks, on the @amarynth Ed.’s comment: Yes, definitely. He acted mostly as an atlantist liberal in the past. And since the Ukrainian crisis got momentum in 2014, I have increasingly finding him a bit over tune… not he is wrong, but to me sometimes sounds like telling what the… Read more »

It is certainly not a revanchist USSR that we glimpse in formation, but a nevertheless recognizable meta evolution.of it without the limitations of Bolshevik ideology. Essentially USSR # 2 done properly and done right, a rational and practical 21st Century and deliberate form. Previously the limitations and internal contradictions, and… Read more »
I’m stunned by the comments of a famous Russian poet, philosopher and diplomat going back into 18th century. Few in the west are even fully aware of the depth of the current extreme hostility being carried out against Russia by the US, such is the level of disinformation and distortion… Read more »
The Hatred and plotting is continuous since 969 AD, when the Kievan Rus’ ruler, Sviatoslav I of Kiev (VVP & XJP are under his portrait and 12 sons) destroyed Khazaria and ended their tyranny on the old Silk Road and on all neighbors. The West has been marshalled against them… Read more »
Crooke at Napolitano opined to-day that the zions will do their attack on Iran, and that a massive duel of missiles and aircraft will follow. The war for the world continues, imho the determinant campaign, which the world’s nazis, “whites”, as McGovern repeats (also to-day) – a baldly racist war,… Read more »
Yes, i agree the West will lose. Zion will sacrifice the former Host. But so will the civilizational-states. At least transiently. Their current leadership cadre simply lacks the moral fibre.. As Prof Hudson & Ama stress, “forgive them their debts!” This is impossible in seeking continuation via a new usurious… Read more »
Yup. You’ve taken the longer view, but you’re right. Remarking that geopolitical evolution is messy. The clinging to usury in the BRICS makes it clear that it’s a process, not an end-game, a phase. I suppose there are other reasons too, but usury alone poisons everything, since a corrupt bourgeois… Read more »
Hate can never make hate go out of the world. Only love spreads like light to remove the darkness from the ego. The essence is the intention from which we act. Only when our consciousness is mature and our intention is loving, then our species can evolve into being truly… Read more »
