“US dominance in the world has effectively come to an end. Americans stopped trying to control everything that happens on the planet, and began to more carefully take responsibility for global processes.”
This opinion was expressed in an interview with the Indian agency PTI by Indian Foreign Minister Subramaniam Jaishankar.
As a result, many problems in the regions of the planet can no longer be solved by the United States or any other superpower. Now they are often more or less successfully resolved by the states of the region themselves without outside interference.
This opinion is already becoming generally accepted among experts. Moreover, the Americans themselves have already begun to guess (and admit!) that they are no longer hegemons.
It is also generally accepted that there is a global shift in the center of power from the West to the East.
Brzezinski 20 years ago in his acclaimed book “The Global Chessboard” announced these processes. And he connected this with «the Great Political Awakening of the East.”
Such a global process does not occur every century. It is believed that the global center of power began to establish itself in Western Europe 500 years ago, and as a result of the First and Second World Wars it moved to North America.
Today this comes to an end. The transition process itself may take several decades.
So we live in very interesting times.
In connection with all this, as a long-time observer of interstate relations, I am interested in this: what place will we - the Turkic countries in the vast space from the Balkans to the Altai Mountains - occupy in the new world?
Of course, we, lovers of all kinds of weapons, are a little sad at the thought that all these missiles, ships, fighters and all other weapons are actually just means to achieve a goal
What is our goal? What place will we take in the new world?
Will we be able to create a separate center of power?
Or together with neighboring countries?
This, in my opinion, is the main question for us.
