Russia to outline ‘contours of a new world order’ as UN Security Council chair

Russian officials plan to outline “the contours of a new world order” over the next month as Russia and China intensify their efforts to gain influence at the United Nations.

“Our idea is to hold a comprehensive, forward-looking strategic discussion about the contours of a new world order that is coming to replace the unipolar one,” Ambassador Vasily Nebenzia, the top Russian envoy at the U.N., told state media. “This conversation is long overdue.”

Nebenzia will play a prominent role in stage-managing that effort, as Russia’s upcoming turn as rotating president of the U.N. Security Council will allow Moscow to shape the forum’s agenda for the month of April. And the meaning of the maneuvering in New York was made explicit in Moscow on Friday, with Russian President Vladimir Putin unveiling a new foreign policy concept just one day before Nebenzia’s team takes hold of the Security Council gavel.

"The Russian Federation intends to give priority to the elimination of vestiges of the dominance of the United States and other unfriendly countries in world politics,” the new Russian concept states.

That brassy forecast comes just weeks after Chinese General Secretary Xi Jinping told Putin that Beijing and Moscow are orchestrating “changes — the likes of which we haven’t seen for 100 years.” Yet their coordination also has galvanized an international backlash against their desired overhaul of the international arena.

“China sees Putin's weakness as a way to increase its leverage over Russia. And it is clear that the power balance in that relationship, which for most of the last century favored Russia, has now reversed,” European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen said this week. “The Chinese Communist Party's clear goal is a systemic change of the international order with China at its center...”

“Appears Bakhmet has fallen?”

Russian (Wagner) forces recently took the City Hall, but it is still a slow block by block grind.

I’m so glad we are supporting this with our UN donations (not!). What has the UN ever accomplished anyway, it should be on the same stack of garbage as the League of Nations.

Thanks to Speedie Screwup Joe we are now on the backporch looking in. He’s worked hard driving us down to this point in little more than two years. Do you suppose we will sit this one out?
