Russian President Vladimir Putin warns the world is facing the most dangerous decade since the end of World War II, denouncing the West for inciting war and playing a "bloody" geopolitical game.
In a speech addressing the Valdai Discussion Club, a gathering of Russian specialists, on Thursday, the Russian leader said he had no regrets about sending troops into Ukraine, more than eight months after Moscow began its operation in the ex-Soviet republic.
"We are standing at a historical frontier: Ahead is probably the most dangerous, unpredictable and, at the same time, important decade since the end of World War Two," Putin warned.
The circumstances are "to a certain extent revolutionary," he said.
Putin also condemned the West for what he called inciting the war and playing a "dangerous, bloody and dirty" geopolitical game that was sowing chaos around the globe. The West is declining despite its pursuit of dominating the world, Putin said.
"The historical period of the West's undivided dominance over world affairs is coming to an end."
The Russian president also stated that the West is not able to "single-handedly govern humanity" but is "desperately trying to do it". He said, "Most peoples of the world no longer want to put up with it."

A Chinese expert said the move is shortsighted, noting that tightening restrictions despite domestic industry opposition will only accelerate China’s tech innovation and further diminish Nvidia’s chances of reentering the Chinese market.
Known as the Secure and Feasible Exports Act, the bill would order the US Commerce Department to halt export licenses for sales of chips to adversaries, including China and Russia for at least 30 months. Any processors more powerful than those already approved for export to those nations would be subject to the measure, the Bloomberg report said.
The legislation comes as the White House weighs whether to allow Nvidia to export the....more below

Hundreds of retired Israeli police officers have urged the regime’s president, Isaac Herzog, to reject Benjamin Netanyahu’s request for a pardon in corruption cases.
On November 30, Netanyahu, who faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of public trust in three separate cases, submitted a formal pardon request to the office of Herzog, claiming the long-running corruption cases were tearing the regime apart.
In a letter to Herzog, about 400 former officers, including ex-commissioners and deputy commissioners, said Netanyahu’s request contains “not even a hint of admission of guilt,” making it unacceptable.
They warned that “such a step without [Netanyahu’s] confession and remorse is liable to ignite severe violence in Israeli society.”.....more below
