Milorad Dodik, leader of the Bosnian Serb: Putin's 2007 Munich Speech Was Prophetic

Milorad Dodik, leader of the ruling party of the Republika Srpska, the "Union of Independent Social Democrats" (SNSD), stated that Russian President Vladimir Putin's speech at the 2007 Munich Security Conference criticizing the unipolar world order and NATO expansion plans was prophetic.

Dodik said on a program on the "Russia 24" TV channel: "I had the opportunity to attend that Munich conference, and Vladimir Putin gave a speech. His speech was not only relevant at that time, but in essence, it was a prophetic speech. Putin's expressions were extremely accurate and clear, but the West was blinded by its own power."

Dodik believes that at that time, the West was intoxicated with power and believed there were no alternative forces in the world other than themselves, and that other countries, including Russia, must submit to their liberal ideology. In the view of this politician, the West's plan was to split Russia into several parts, just as they had split Yugoslavia at that time, but Moscow showed that they were stronger.

Dodik emphasized: "What I see now is that Putin, that is, the Russian Federation, is not defending itself, but is defending the achievements of world civilization. If Russia is conquered, the world will be completely different. In short, no matter what expectations the West has, it cannot conquer Russia."

Putin delivered a famous speech at the 2007 Munich Security Conference. He harshly criticized U.S. foreign policy and the concept of a unipolar world order, and strongly opposed the NATO expansion plan and the deployment of anti-missile defense facilities in Eastern Europe by the United States.
