U.S. President Biden said that humanity needs a new world order – is he repeating the words of the leaders of 80 per cent of the world? ‘The events that will take place in the coming years will determine the world for decades to come, the US President is confident. US President Joe Biden, speaking at a campaign reception in Washington, said that humanity needs a new world order to replace the one that has held for the last 50 years.

‘I think we have the opportunity to do something if we are brave and confident enough to bring the world together in a way that has never been done before. We lived in the post-war period for 50 years and everything worked damn well, but it fizzled out. We need a new – a new world order in a sense.’

He stressed that he was optimistic, but much would depend on events in the near future. ‘We are at a turning point in history, and that means that the decisions we make in the next four or five years will determine what the next four or five decades look like,’ he explained.

This is not the first time the US President has mentioned the need to build a new world order. So, in March 2022, after the start of a military special operation in Ukraine, Biden said that the world order needed updating. 

As a senior military official told me the other day at a secret meeting, between 1900 and 1946, 60 million people died. And since then, we have established a liberal world order, and this is not happening. A lot of people die, but there is nothing close to chaos. And now is the time when everything changes… There will be a new world order, and we must lead it. And we must unite the rest of the free world for this,’ he said.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken made similar statements, declaring the end of the era that began after the end of the Cold War. The end of the Cold War raised hopes for the establishment of stability and peace, international cooperation, the spread of human rights, political liberalization and economic cooperation between countries, he said, noting that there was indeed progress. The Secretary of State called Russia’s actions in Ukraine ‘the most immediate, most acute threat to the international order enshrined in the UN Charter’ and its core principles of territorial integrity, sovereignty, and universal human rights.

President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly spoken about plans to build a new world order, different from the one proposed by the West. ‘No matter how the Western and so-called supranational elites try to preserve the existing order of things, a new era is coming, a new stage in world history, and only truly sovereign states can ensure high growth dynamics,’ the president said.
