Former Soviet leader Mikhail S. Gorbachev has said that
tensions between the major world super powers powers have pushed the
world closer to a new Cold War. The 83-year-old fingered the West,
especially the United States, of giving in to “triumphalism” after the
the dissolution of the communist bloc a quarter century ago. Read the
rest on Fox news:
The result, he said, could partly be seen in the
inability of global powers to prevent or resolve conflicts in
Yugoslavia, the Middle East and most recently Ukraine.
“The world is on the brink of a new Cold War. Some are even saying
that it’s already begun,” Gorbachev said at an event marking the 25th
anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, close to the city’s iconic
Brandenburg Gate.
Gorbachev called for trust to be restored through dialogue with
Moscow, and suggested the West should lift sanctions imposed against
senior Russian officials over the country’s support for separatist
rebels in eastern Ukraine. Failure to achieve security in Europe would
make the continent irrelevant in world affairs, he said.
Gorbachev’s comments echoed those of Roland Dumas, France’s foreign minister at the time the Berlin Wall fell.
