26 Feb 2023 – A study by the elite EU-funded European Council on Foreign Relations found the West is out of touch politically with the rest of the world. Most people in China, India, and T\u00fcrkiye see Russia as an important ally, and they want multipolarity, not continued \u201cAmerican global supremacy\u201d.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

A study by an elite European government-funded think tank found that, while the United States and Europe are growing closer together, the West is increasingly out of touch politically with the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

The report<\/a>, from the EU member state-financed European Council on Foreign Relations, conceded that the system of \u201cAmerican global supremacy\u201d is in rapid decline, and many people in the Global South want a new \u201cmultipolar world\u201d.<\/p>\n

The series of polls concluded that NATO\u2019s proxy war<\/a> in \u201cUkraine confirmed the renewed centrality of American power to Europe\u201d, uniting the West under Washington\u2019s leadership. Today, Europeans and North Americans \u201chold many views in common about major global questions\u201d.<\/p>\n

But this \u201cconsolidation of the West is taking place in an increasingly divided post-Western world\u201d, the study acknowledged. The Global South is moving in the opposite direction.<\/p>\n

It described \u201ca wide gap between the West and the \u2018rest\u2019 when it comes to their desired outcomes for the war and differing understandings of why the US and Europe support Ukraine\u201d.<\/p>\n

The report admitted that, even if Ukraine somehow managed to win the NATO proxy war with Russia<\/a>, \u201cit is highly unlikely to restore a US-led global liberal order\u201d, and, instead, \u201cthe West will have to live, as one pole of a multipolar world\u201d.<\/p>\n

The 13% of the global population in the West is out of touch with the \u2018rest\u2019 of the world<\/h3>\n

This study was conducted by the European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR), a notoriously hawkish think tank that expresses overt anti-Russia and anti-China bias.<\/p>\n

The ECFR is funded<\/a> by the European Parliament and numerous European governments, including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Norway, Denmark, Finland, and the Czech Republic, as well as key Western ally Japan.<\/p>\n

For the report, the ECFR commissioned polling in:<\/p>\n
