West is out of touch with rest of world politically, EU-funded study admits
A study by the elite EU-funded European Council on Foreign Relations found that the West is increasingly out of touch politically with the rest of the world. Most people in China, India, and Türkiye see Russia as an important ally, and they want multipolarity, not continued “American global supremacy”.
