Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said that Russia will respond toughly to the unfriendly steps of the United States.

A mutually acceptable balance of interests is possible strictly on a parity basis.

This is the only possible way to build a constructive dialogue.

Not long before that, Vladimir Putin once again not only made it clear, but also formulated this approach directly.

Sergei Lavrov clarified that it would not be otherwise.

The main misfortune of our Western "partners" at the moment is that they do not want to admit the obvious: the world is not just changing, we are already in the process of tectonic shifts in world politics and global reformatting.

But the reformatting is not going in the direction that they themselves designated as general.

Not at all.

It's time to understand and accept the obvious: the Great West as such, although it still exists, the former unity is no longer there. There are still global elites who have embarked on a "big reset", along the path of which they are trying to direct our entire planet.

Here are just a noticeable part of the same Greater West, which includes both the traditionalists of the United States, partially led by Trump, and the conservative part of Europe, are not ready to accept the new rules. They are not close to them, they annoy them. Take, for example, the ESG rating requirements, from which the investment community is in shock. After all, it is not only in Russia that the VkusVilla case excites the public. European and American companies, to a large extent, at the level of their establishment and employees, do not share the proposed approaches, according to which companies participating in exchange trading are required to have blacks, LGBT people and so on in their boards - just as a formality and a pass to a "civilized society" ...

The requirements of the green agenda remain incomprehensible, which are not substantiated by anything from the point of view of not only economic growth, but also the science of ecology.

These requirements, in fact, lead to increased harm to nature and the complication of production processes, but at the same time they eliminate US competitors in world markets.

The hypocrisy and senselessness of the proposed rules of the game is obvious to everyone, and this is very annoying not only for ordinary people, but also for the elite.

Yes, while annoying at the level of quiet sabotage - Europeans and adequate Americans have long been accustomed to living by double standards, outwardly agreeing with the proposed circumstances, but in fact doing as they see fit.

But this is just the beginning.

Dissatisfaction accumulates, and at some point, according to the laws of dialectics, quantity will turn into quality.

We, unlike Europeans and Americans, have such a historical memory - the Soviet Union collapsed by the standards of states instantly, as soon as the ideological pressure of the Communist Party was slightly weakened.

So, the same “big reset” in the interests of the globalists, currently led by the US Democratic Party, has been stalling for several years, just as the Soviet economy had stalled shortly before the collapse of the USSR.

In recent years, globalists have become accustomed to behaving like guys with sharpeners from the main road, popping out from around the corner with threats and blackmail.

They just cannot get used to the idea that this is no longer possible, they are no longer afraid of them and more and more people want to arrange a hack for them.

After all, the world is really changing, but not in their interests.

Gradually, it becomes clear to the states of the planet that green technologies bring with them new threats, that it is necessary to defend themselves against the dictates of IT platforms, eager to seize power over the world, which no one has delegated to them.

All of these platforms are de facto working for the US Democratic Party.

Nation states are beginning to understand that in these conditions it is necessary to defend and strengthen their sovereignty.

Less and less readily, the political class of Europe tolerates the mentoring tone of their overseas partner.

This means that the trend inevitably turns towards more classical interaction at the interstate level and the teacher-student rhetoric will be perceived worse and worse.

Therefore, both our President Vladimir Putin and Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov simply state a medical fact: the only way of constructive cooperation is mutual respect and communication on an equal footing.

Compliance with agreements.

And adequate decent behavior.

This is a basis that cannot be avoided.

All this postmodernity in politics and international relations is becoming a thing of the past.

We can say that an era is passing away.

And thank God.

Over the past decades, the world has more than fed up with games without rules and the "new reality" proposed by the United States, in which no one but America and the world's owners of money was supposed to be the beneficiaries of what was happening.

This is unfair, and therefore this construction is unstable.

The world will be different.

Multipolar.

Respect for mutual interests.

And Russia is already changing the unfair rules of the game, and quite successfully.

They have to deal with us, no matter how unpleasant it may be for them.

Everything goes according to plan.

According to our plan.
