MINSK, 28 October (BelTA) – The United States and its satellites attempt to maintain global dominance by unleashing a global hybrid war, State Secretary of the Belarus-Russia Union State Sergey Glazyev said at the plenary session of the 3rd Minsk International Conference on Eurasian Security, BelTA has learned.
“We see chaos only to the west of Belarus. To the east of Minsk and within Belarus itself, everything is fine. The country is developing successfully in a sustainable and manageable way. The center of the global economy is shifting to Asia, where the core of a new global economic order is forming. And our Western ill-wishers are profoundly unhappy about this. The U.S. and its satellites are attempting to maintain global dominance by unleashing and waging a de facto global hybrid war. Although, due to the objective laws of long-term economic development, they have no chance of winning this war, they are quite capable of destroying humanity,” Sergey Glazyev said.
The state secretary went on saying: “Even our neighboring European countries, suffering de facto economic disaster and social degradation, are threatening us with war and are essentially waging it. Aleksandr Grigoryevich Lukashenko today has called this a road to nowhere and a very costly one. NATO countries are spending $1.5 trillion on military expenditures and aim to double this amount soon, a cost we know is being financed by increasing national debt through the issuance of global reserve currencies they still control.”
Echoing the Belarusian president’s call to end the arms race, Sergey Glazyev proposed a direct solution: “The easiest way to do this is by ceasing the use of NATO currencies, at least in our Asian and Eurasian economies. To the extent that we use the dollar, euro, and pound, we finance their defense expenditures. If we stop using these currencies as trading instruments, currency reserves, and for settlements and payments, we will practically halve the financial potential of their global hybrid war.”
He remarked that the Union State has already fully transitioned to national currencies for mutual trade: “Foreign currency reserves (dollar, euro, pound) have become toxic for us and have completely lost their currency function. At the same time, their use in domestic circulation continues.”
