In 2007, Vladimir Putin's provocative speech at the Munich Security Conference criticized the unipolar world dominated by the U.S., marking a shift in international relations. This tension escalated with Russia's actions in Crimea and Ukraine, ultimately leading to war. Recently, U.S. Vice-President JD Vance's address echoed a concerning tone as he criticized European allies while igniting cultural battles mirroring Trump's rhetoric. The speech suggests a growing ideological divide within the transatlantic alliance and raises alarms about the erosion of shared values, reflecting a departure from foundational international norms that once unified the West.
In 2007, Vladimir Putin delivered a speech to the Munich security conference that stunned western diplomats by launching an unforeseen assault on the post-1989 international order.
