Uncertainty continues regarding the evacuation of family members of employees of the Russian embassy in Caracas from Venezuela.
The world-renowned "Associated Press" agency, citing an unnamed official of European intelligence, published information that the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs vaguely denied. In the message posted from the telegram account of the Russian Foreign Ministry, the following was stated: "Be alert. Do not succumb to Western provocations!" The statement from the Russian Foreign Ministry does not clearly clarify whether the families of Russian diplomats have been evacuated from Venezuela. Undoubtedly, this is nothing but an attempt by Russia to preserve its image.
The same can be said about the statement issued by the Chinese Foreign Ministry concerning the events around Venezuela. Just as during the bombing of Iran, now Russia and China consider protecting their images with loud declarations. However, achieving this is becoming impossible.
Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, explicitly expressing that they did not receive help from friendly countries during the US and Israeli military interventions, referring to Russia and China, also shows that it is difficult for Moscow and Beijing to preserve their images.
The processes around Iran and Venezuela send a message to all countries: the unipolar world order is strengthening further.
Compared to the period before February 24, 2022, now the positions of Russia and China have lost their significance for the USA.
Before February 24, 2022, the bombing of Iran and the siege of Venezuela were unimaginable. Now, Israel can bomb Iran, the strategic partner of Russia and China, with great confidence. US President Donald Trump can set a $50 million reward on the effective head of state of Venezuela and can lay siege to Venezuela. In the coming hours or days, if the USA decides to make a military intervention in Venezuela, it will not even care what Russia and China think. The protests of Russia and China will not go beyond statements.
All this shows that the USA is further strengthening the unipolar world order, where it is the sole ruler. When Russian President Putin launched the criminal war against Ukraine on February 24, 2022, he aimed to destroy the unipolar world order and create a bipolar or multipolar world order. However, the heroic Ukrainian people managed to foil Putin's wish.
The primary global outcome for the world from the 46-month-long criminal war against Ukraine is that the unipolar world order dominated solely by the USA has become stronger. The US President has gained the power to isolate Russia, an energy superpower, from the global economy with a single decree. Russia is being pushed out of the South Caucasus and the Middle East, and it is becoming increasingly difficult to protect its fleets at sea. Ukraine continuously bombs Russia’s strategic facilities without a single day’s pause.
A situation has arisen where Russia cannot even protect its high-ranking generals in the capital, Moscow. None of this could have been imagined before February 24, 2022. Now, it has ceased to be merely current events and has turned into statistics. All these notes are just a small part of the evidence confirming that the unipolar world order is becoming even more powerful.
Attempts by Donald Trump and his supporters to abandon the unipolar world order cannot shake the unipolar world order in which the USA is the sole ruler. It seems that this unipolar world order, dominated solely by the USA, will continue at least until the end of this century.
