Afrasianet - Hassan Salman - Russian intellectual Alexander Dugin said that the West's inability to lead the world is driving it to fabricate wars, epidemics and chaos.
He also considered that the recent visit of US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin to China confirms that there is a tripartite leadership that is ruling the world whose features are beginning to take shape, expecting it to turn into a quartet with India's joining it in the future.
In a video broadcast by Russia's Sputnik news agency, Dugin said: "The West is used to feeling absolute control over the world, it is the only one who sets the rules in politics, economics, technology, information, ethics, culture and the arts, and thus the world has become unipolar, with a single center of power."
"Today, however, the West is no longer able to shoulder the burden of global leadership or maintain its position as the sole pole. Unable to cope with the situation, he resorted to extreme measures, starting wars, orchestrating epidemics, sowing chaos, and even encouraging the extermination of entire peoples."
Dugin, who is nicknamed "Putin's mind" by some, said Russia and China are beginning to assert their influence with increasing confidence, as they gradually limit the West's spheres of influence and build their own spheres of influence.
This, in his opinion, leads to the beginning of the formation of a triangle of the multipolar world, which is on the brink of war.
It is precisely within this triangle that all the major meetings are held: Trump with Xi Jinping, Putin with Xi Jinping, and Putin with Trump, and Trump's visit to China confirms that these three poles do exist, according to Dugin.
He also said Washington is striving to create a rift between Moscow and Beijing. To this end, it uses diplomatic pressure, disinformation campaigns, as well as an entire arsenal of electronic warfare weapons.
Dugin said that if India takes serious steps (his nature was not specified), the world will have four poles. "Western leaders will then have to negotiate with not two, but three great power centers. Modi (India's prime minister) will stand tall as Putin and Xi Jinping did."
He stressed that Russia and China draw "a clear and unambiguous red line: either the world will be multipolar, or it will not exist. This is the bitter reality that we are living in, under constant aggressive pressure from the West and its allies. We firmly insist that the multipolar world is the only structure of international relations that we accept."
