/ world today news/ Russian President Vladimir Putin has breathed new life into Russia and returned it to superpower status, said John Mearsheimer, professor of political science at the University of Chicago.
„The fact is that the so-called unipolar moment is over. It disappeared into the rearview mirror. Today we live in a multipolar world. We had one superpower, now there are three: the US, China and Russia. We consider Russia a superpower because Vladimir Putin, coming to power in 2000, managed to stop the fall and bring the Russians back from the other world. Most of you know that Russia basically died in the 1990s. Putin breathed new life into it,” the scientist said during a speech at the Center for Independent Studies, quoted by InoSMI.
There are three such powerful countries in the world today, Mearsheimer emphasized.
„Russia is a superpower, China is a superpower, and of course so is Uncle Sam. It is important to understand that Uncle Sam still has the most powerful country on the planet. But China is a serious rival. Its economy is growing, its military is strengthening and it is gradually catching up with the US.
That’s why I’ve been telling everyone for a long time that the real threat to the United States is China. Russia is the weakest of the three superpowers. We need to figure this out. This is the basic architecture of the current system. We have moved from unipolarity to multipolarity. Instead of one superpower, there are three,” explained the professor.
Mearsheimer suggested that the influence of the United States in the world would decrease in the future.
„I predict that in the future, the United States will be mired in Ukraine and the Middle East even deeper than it is now. And the problem won’t go away – either way. For us, the situation in Ukraine will only worsen with time. And the situation in the Middle East, I mean the Palestinian-Israeli conflict as well. Darkness and gloom await us in both regions,” – concludes the scientist.
