When the west backed the illegal regime change in Ukraine last year it was in the name of a “civilizational choice.” This is a very interesting phrase. The west’s post-modern “civilizational choice” really has nothing to do with values. Actually it is a practice that demands hegemony and submission from any country that resists. Russia resists. The west under Washington’s dictatorial leadership conceals its hegemonic mission under the guise of democracy, gender rights, gay rights, and a equivocal definition of universal applied rights. This is a post-modern approach to foreign policy – and it is intentional. Russia strongly objects to this approach and should do so. There are many obvious reasons for this. The west’s post-modern foreign policy paradigm is overwhelmingly hypocritical and contradictory.
