In a March 24 interview with RT and Sputnik, former Russian President, currently Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council Dmitry Medvedev pointed to the formation of a new era of international relations, involving China, India, and Russia, as the above-the-law approach of the Anglo-American establishment (Anglo-Saxon in his terminology) collapses.
“Clearly the U.S. believes it is a nation outside international law, above everyone else. Following the collapse of the U.S.S.R. and an end to the bipolar world order … the U.S. saw itself as the winner and the sole beneficiary of the Soviet Union’s demise.”
Due to U.S. economic size and the dollar being the main reserve currency, the U.S. believes it can do whatever it wishes.
“That is why they now feel completely unpunished in this respect as well,” he explained. “Exactly for that reason the U.S.’s actions in Afghanistan, Iraq and Vietnam a few decades ago, have never come under any legal scrutiny by the international community.”
