And in the latest readings of the shape of the post-world Ukrainian warFormer British Prime Minister Tony Blair said that the Ukraine war showed that the hegemony of the West is witnessing its end, in light of the rise of China to be a superpower in partnership with Russia, in the clearest point of change in the global scene in centuries..
Blair, who served as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom for the British Labor Party from 1997 to 2007, added that: "The world is at a turning point in history that can be compared to the end World War II Or the collapse of the Soviet Union, but this time, clearly, the West is not in the best position".
According to the text of a speech delivered at a forum in support of the alliance between the United States and Europe in a lecture titled "After Ukraine, what are the current lessons for Western leadership?"Blair said "We are witnessing the end of Western political and economic domination".
He continued: "The world will become bipolar at least or multipolarThe biggest geopolitical change of this century will come from China Not from Russia".
And to talk about the world after the Ukraine war and the shape of the international system that follows it, Masoud Maalouf, a former diplomat and expert on American affairs, said in an interview with Sky News Arabia: "Blair is an experienced statesman and politician, who has long been ruling 10 Downing Street, with deep experience, a wide network of international relations and reputable think tanks, which is why his political statements and readings are always of great importance.".
follow up:"The Ukrainian war seems clear that it will be prolonged and will not end soon according to the various field and political facts, especially in light of the inability of the Russians, after more than 5 months to resolve the situation, as their control is limited to the eastern and southern Ukrainian regions, inhabited by Ukrainians of Russian origin, and therefore the international alignments will deepen. The conflict over the impact of the Ukrainian fire, and here, China falls into a common axis with Russia against the Western axis, and here we remember Putin’s visit to Beijing before the start of this war, and the confirmation of the final statement issued by his summit with his Chinese counterpart that their alliance is without borders and that they seek a multipolar world".
On Blair’s expectations that China will be the global pole parallel to the West, Maalouf says:"China was supposed to be in less than 10 years The world’s first economy overtaking the US economy, but The outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis And the resulting catastrophic consequences, curbed this unbridled Chinese development, as its economic growth recorded 0.4 percent this year, while its percentage usually ranged from 8 to 14 percent over the past years. Thus, Washington is working to compete with China and fight it not militarily, but primarily economically. And it will not give up its leading position as the world’s most powerful pole in favor of China, which it considers an adversary and not a threat, as is the case with Russia.".
The former diplomat continues: "China has basically reached its strength thanks to its focus on the economy and the lack of exaggeration in the options of militarization, armament and expansion, and this means that it is not that strong and military capabilities to become an equal to the United States, although it is very developed in various fields, especially in the fields of technology and space".
Maalouf adds: "Undoubtedly, the West is eroding its position, and in this context, Washington is of course feeling the decline of its influence and influence as a single pole around the world, and it is trying to remedy this by trying to strengthen the alliance of the American and European sides of the Atlantic to confront Russian-Chinese alliance Thus, China will play a global leadership role in the not-too-distant future, and Russia’s role will decline, but it will remain a key role in International Balances and Contradictions GameThus, the Sino-Russian alliance, with the support of some countries, such as those within BRICS group From standing in the face of the Western and Atlantic axis and confronting it forcefully, but things will not slip towards direct military confrontations between the two axes, and consequently the outbreak of devastating global wars.".
On the other hand, Maher Al-Hamdani, a researcher and expert in European affairs, said in an interview with Sky News Arabia: "The world has already become multi-polar for a short time, with China, which everyone knows is global pole It is self-contained and is not subject to the Western pole, as well as Russia, which has proven to be a stubborn opponent and competitor of the Western bloc and a pivotal and influential global power that depends on itself and on its enormous self-resources. Ukrainian crisis".
Thus, Al-Hamdani adds: "The American unipolar phase had ended even before the war in Ukraine, and the world began to sort out its new poles and multiple centers of power, and accordingly Blair is right (he is a witness from its people) in saying that the West is not the rising power now, to the extent that there are frequent indications and evidence that the West itself It may not remain a single bloc, meaning that the European Union has different interests, visions, and priorities from its American counterpart, and perhaps we may witness in the next stage a European rebellion against Washington’s dominance over the orientations of the United States. Old Continent".
Blair also indicated during his statements that "The Ukraine war has made it abundantly clear that the West cannot count on China to act in a way we consider rational.".
He stated: "China’s place as a great power is natural and justified. it’s not soviet union"but he said that "The West should not allow China to excel militarily".
He added: "We must increase defense spending and maintain military superiority"Noting that the United States and its allies should "That they prevail (militarily) enough to deal with any possibility or type of conflict in all regions".
