All the events we see currently unfolding not only tend to strengthen the multipolar world order dominated by the global majority, but also to demolish the bogus propaganda claims put out by the Western planetary minority. The issue of the agenda of young people in different regions of the world confirms this fact.
Another instance of the primitive nature of Western propaganda
The recent parliamentary elections in Georgia have provoked a new round of hysterical objections from the West. Both from the political establishment and from Western propaganda outlets. Unsurprisingly, in a country that has been treated for a very long time as an ardent Russophobic tool, the entire pro-Western coalition of several so-called political forces failed. And the victory was confidently won by the current ruling party, Georgian Dream. Significantly, this party is in no way a friend of Russia, as those in the West try to portray it, but merely a party of pragmatists who are able to calculate, analyze and make decisions based on their own national interests—primarily economic interests.
But this result does not suit the regimes representing the Western planetary minority. Today, it is more obvious than ever what and who they want. Namely, they want completely obedient puppets and cannon fodder from among citizens of non-Western states, including Georgia. It is worth noting that this view is confirmed by recent statements made by the founder of Georgian Dream, Bidzina Ivanishvili. The NATO and Western regimes needed a new armed front against Russia and affordable cannon fodder, in the manner of modern post-Maidan Ukraine. The regimes of the Western minority do not need allies in the true sense of the word, or even just partners.
But what is especially ridiculous in this situation is how Western propaganda tries to explain the failures of the Western world—in addition to repeating the now hackneyed accusations against Russia. This applies not only to Georgia, but also, for example, to Moldova. They claim that those who do not vote for outspoken Western puppets are representatives of the generation which is nostalgic for the USSR. Young people, they insist, whether Georgians or Moldovans, are almost all in favor of Western “values.”
Naturally, this is another clear example of Western delirium. It is difficult to say which young people the Western propagandists are talking about, but in the present case it is most likely those who are not embarrassed to live with an outstretched hand, reaching towards all kinds of Western structures seeking to destabilize sovereign nations. Drawing on our own experience, we can say that many young people in the Eurasian post-Soviet space, including the Central Asian and Caucasus states, and even the Georgia and Moldova, all of whom are free people and entrepreneurs, have commercial projects and interests very much tied to Russia, Turkey, China, Iran and other states of Eurasia, and see no economic advantage in linking their futures to the West. And this applies both to the last generation born in the USSR and to those born after the end of the Soviet Union.
Moreover, these free and enterprising representatives of the younger generations not only see no interest for themselves in or with the West, but remain enthusiastically focused on Eurasian integration, on bodies such as the SCO and BRICS and, to put it simply, on a multipolar world. They do not need cheap handouts from the penny-pinching Western world, but on the contrary, they are happy to watch the West put in its place—the place of an outspoken global minority.
The global majority is in favor of a multipolar world order
Naturally, these realities are far from being limited to Eurasia. The same picture can be clearly observed in many countries of Africa, Asia and Latin America. That is, once again—in the camp of the global majority. Many are simply unimpressed by the myths about the Western world. And why should they impress those who, whether in Africa or elsewhere, are successfully engaged in business within their own countries, their region and their continent, and/or with China, Russia, Turkey, the United Arab Emirates and other BRICS member states and partners? The answer is obvious.
So this once again demonstrates that the Westerners do not need partners or allies in the countries of the global majority, but slaves, beggars and obedient puppets, and the current Kiev regime is a “fine” confirmation of this. And, naturally, if we talk about Africa, so much in the public eye, then we see a good example of how a clear majority of young people are not only watching with enthusiasm the development of a multipolar world, but are also actively involved in this process.
The African portal Afrik.com cites the example of Burkina Faso, which is one of the three member countries of the Alliance-Confederation of Sahel States (Confédération Alliance des États du Sahel, AES). Afrik.com notes how Russian athletes from Moscow’s CSKA cycling team were invited to take part in the famous Tour du Faso, and as a result, the (so-called) International Cycling Union (UCI) imposed sanctions on the event.
Nevertheless, a proud and free country is not going to retreat from a sincere friendship with Russia. And as Afrik.com points out, such enthusiasm for the Russians can be explained by the current nature of Burkina Faso’s relations with Russia. Indeed, with the coming to power of Captain Ibrahim Traoré (36 years old), Burkina Faso, like two other countries of the Alliance of Sahel States, has strengthened its ties with the Russian Federation. And, as the African website concludes, the popularity of Vladimir Putin’s Russia is growing in the Sahel region, especially among young people who are increasingly critical of the West.
On the subject of young people, especially in the countries of the global majority—the peddlers of primitive Western propaganda are free to continue their attempts at deceiving their own citizens, who represent a small minority of the world’s population, (although, it has to be said, in the Western world the percentage of free-thinking people is obviously growing)—but they certainly have no right to try and repeat their fables about the young generation in the countries making up the overwhelming majority of humanity, who are clearly focused on a multipolar world order.
