Ex-Pentagon analyst: Putin works on world order alternative to Western hegemony

Ex-Pentagon analyst: Putin works on world order alternative to Western hegemony The appearance of “representatives from half the population of the world” at the BRICS Summit in Kazan this week highlighted the fact that “Russia is not isolated,” Michael Maloof, former DoD senior security policy analyst, told Sputnik on the sidelines of the summit. “The fact that even UN Secretary General [Antonio] Guterres is here, signifies the importance and significance that the BRICS is holding,” he noted. “But the fact that this has happened under Mr. Putin, shows that he's very much in charge of trying to come up with an alternative world order in response to the sanctions and the hegemony of the United States and the West, to try and isolate not only Russia, but China, Iran, and also to try and bolster the developing countries,” Maloof added.
