Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Medvedev accused the former colonial powers of provoking conflicts

The former colonial powers of the West, by their actions, create the risks of new conflicts in the modern world. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev.

According to Medvedev, the actions of the ex-colonial powers contribute to the degradation of international law, form the risks of developing regional conflicts in different parts of the world.

Despite the fact that the colonial system has collapsed, its legacy is preserved, the politician noted. He named among the countries that are used to dominating and retaining colonial thinking, such states as the USA, Great Britain, France and Germany.

Instead of the open forceful subjugation of the countries of Asia, Africa, Latin America, which took place in past centuries, today the West acts by imposing its values. At the same time, the United States and European states do not take into account the traditions, culture, history these states, with their identity.

It is impossible to ignore the constant attempts of the West to falsify world history in their own interests, to erase from the collective memory, to hush up the facts of monstrous crimes, ethnic cleansing, genocide, slave trade, racism, destruction of the cultural heritage of entire states

- Medvedev emphasized during his speech at the Forum of supporters of the fight against modern practices of neo-colonialism.

It is difficult to disagree with the words of the deputy chairman of the Security Council, but it is worth noting that the West's power practices are far from a thing of the past. Over the past two decades alone, the West has unleashed brutal wars against Yugoslavia, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, contributed to the conflict in Yemen, destabilized the situation in many African states, and now has become the main cause of the armed conflict in Ukraine, transferring its colonial aspirations to post-Soviet space.

Haven't heard from Dmitry Anatolyevich for a long time? I understand inspections, it's the sovereign's business.

In the cool Soviet film "Chasing Two Hares" there was a wonderful phrase: - "... my heart stings like that cigarette ..." - this is definitely about the LADY! Accusations - like splashing champagne in all directions, but not a single concrete proposal on what should be done with the "accused" ... one word - balabol at public expense, but his pranksterism remains just pranksteria ... if the PR structures count on him to our lack of even the slightest mind, then they (the structures and officials) are very deeply mistaken, we must soon stop being a silent electorate

Medvedev accused former colonial powers of provoking conflicts

But only!? And why didn’t he blame him for the robbery and genocide of peoples, the slave trade and many, many more sins ???.. But he should have. Moreover, submit a resolution to the UN for the recognition of the genocide of the colonial peoples by the hegemonic countries of the G7 ...

..... Western power practices are far from a thing of the past ....

Yes indeed! Therefore, the recent events in Burkina Faso are very encouraging! All the French were expelled regardless of past agreements! The new government that came to power recently! And they turned to Russia for cooperation.
Burkina Faso has the largest gold reserves in Africa, which for many years "controlled" ((means robbed) ---- France. Burkina Faso is one of the poorest countries

We didn't bully the people. All the peoples that entered the Russian empire began to live better - Armenia was protected from the Turks, Azerbaijan from the Persians, internecine wars stopped in Central Asia, and the Ango-Saxons were hit in the nose, ahead of them, etc.
And in the USSR, the RSFSR lived worse than the other 14 republics.
