"When the NATO and the Treaty of Warsaw were conflicting with each
other, there were minimum two poles in the world. The USSR collapsed,
the Treaty of Warsaw was dissolved, and the world began to be governed
by a single pole. In such situation, the United States was actually
imposing its conditions on everyone.

Now, however, even Europe expresses a certain disagreement to
the United States although there is no unanimous attitude there
either. Following the recent events, Russia declared of its being a
political pole.

In this situation, I believe, China and India will assume a new,
weighty geopolitical role. The ratio of forces in the world has
changed," Nikolay Patrushev, the RF Secretary of Security has said.
