MOSCOW, June 14 Former metropolises want everything to parasitize the countries dependent on them, only with more sophisticated means and methods, says Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, Chairman of United Russia Dmitry Medvedev.
«»The former metropolises passionately desire to continue to parasitize the countries dependent on them, to ensure their own comfort by humiliating and suppressing others. Only this time — with more sophisticated means and methods. There is nothing new in this. Consuetude est altera natura (“Habit is second nature”), as the famous Latin proverb says,” Medvedev wrote in the article “Humanity must finally get rid of the legacy of the colonial system,” published in Rossiyskaya Gazeta.
Medvedev cited statistics characterizing the political component of neocolonialism as an example.
«According to experts (I note, American ones, for all their bias), from 1946 to 2000, the United States intervened in electoral processes in other countries more than 80 times. Since 1945, they have carried out over 50 attempted coups and military interventions.» , — Medvedev emphasized.
