Sputnik — Russia’s Multipolar Concept Runs Counter to US Hegemonic Ambition

Unlike the Unites States, Russia is interested in building a multipolar world based on balanced relations and mutual respect, analysts told Sputnik on Thursday.

They commented on Russian President Vladimir Putin's remark about Washington claiming exclusivity as the sole center of power and seeking "vassals," rather than allies. The Russian leader was speaking during his annual Q&A session on Thursday.

China and India's view, too, being mature civilizations and former empires themselves. This also includes Iran (former Persian empire) and Turkey (former Ottoman empire). They view the US as the new kid on the block and still wet behind the ears. They learned to share power and the US hasn't yet.
