The whole thing is a fiasco. The theatrical drama in the White House’s Oval Office triggered a series of predictable responses around the world. Outrage at US President Donald Trump for his rudeness and ridicule for Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy were some of the reactions. Then, the failure of French President Emmanuel Macron to create a European agreement with the United Kingdom’s Keir Starmer and Zelenskyy revealed the absolute dead ends that confront this exhausted war in Ukraine.

There is something deeply moving about the ignorance and scatty nature of politicians. At points, it can even be endearing. In the apparently wide wake left by the mauling of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in front of the press at the Oval Office on February 28, backers of Kyiv’s war effort were wondering: What next? How do we prevent Ukrainian defeat at the hands of Russia?

There was a revolting tabloid quality to the Oval Office reception given to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on February 28, but then again, President Donald Trump is a tabloid brute, a man incarnated from the nastiest, shallowest precepts of yellow press clippings and, ultimately, the reality television empire that gave him a crown and forever enshrined him in the culture of brash Americana. From the foamy cable television rot of the republic, Trump’s progress was inexorable.

We are witnessing the very end of the so-called Ruled Based Order, or rather the end of the Non-Rules Based Disorder. The Empire of Chaos and Wars is now facing defeat in the battlefields of Ukraine, to Gaza, Palestine. The World needs Russia once again. We need Russia once again to defeat the Globalist Anglo-American-Zionist imperial Bloc. As President Xi of China, told President Putin of Russia, that we are witnessing the end of an era.

The world descended upon Beirut, as more than a million by some estimates, gathered to pay their respect and homage to Hassan Nasrallah, the leader of the Hezbollah, an integral part of the Axis of Resistance. I was honoured to be present and witness as part of the delegation from India.

We all know about the beloved mystical figure of Santa Claus. He arrives every Christmas eve, riding in his sleigh, drawn by the twelve elves to distribute toys to the children (of all colors) around the world. The famous red suit wearing Santa, with a hat, black boots, and belts has a big bag filled with toys to give to children all over the world. He gets in his sleigh which is traditionally pulled in by nine flying reindeer.

President Xi Jinping is visiting Kazan, Russia between 22-24 October to attend the annual BRICS ‘plus’ summit, a grouping of emerging economies founded by Brazil, Russia, India and China in 2009. In 2023, the conference was held in Johannesburg, South Africa, which joined in 2010. These summits, and other Global South initiatives, reflect a shift in the global political economy from the United States to the People’s Republic of China, and a transformation of the international ‘liberal’ order.

My friends! We have repeatedly emphasized at our conferences that the old world order has exhausted itself, it has collapsed before our eyes, and now we are at the stage of establishing a new world order. The contours of the model of the new world order have already appeared in the adopted documents of the SCO and BRICS. The Moscow conferences that we held this year are also a modest contribution to the cause of building a fair, equal and secure world order.

There is increasing need for more comprehensive estimation of costs of conflicts and wars. It is expected that wider realization of very high costs of war can contribute much to more emphasis being placed on reducing the possibilities of wars and conflicts and for overall enhancement of peace prospects all over the world.
