The West is becoming an Orwellian version of itself in its desperate attempts to cling to power, Russia\u2019s foreign intelligence chief said. If this continues, the West may face a similar fate to that of Biblical figure Goliath.<\/div>\n

Sergey Naryskin, the head of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), delivered the strongly-worded message at an international security conference in Moscow on Wednesday. He accused the West and the United States in particular of failing to acknowledge that they can no longer dictate their will to the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

Western nations\u00a0\u201ccannot and will not face the truth and acknowledge that their own influence, which used to be unchallenged, is now diminishing. They are still trying to build relations with other nations based on old principles rooted in colonialism, on coercion and dictate.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Russian official branded as\u00a0\u201cstunningly hypocritical\u201d<\/em>\u00a0the West\u2019s methods of projecting power today.\u00a0\u201cThe US is trying to masquerade the brutal American dictate as \u2018Euroatlantic\u2019 or \u2018international\u2019 solidarity. To present the US-centered system of international relations, which is based on coercion and even blackmail, as an appearance of voluntary submission,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0Naryshkin said, citing the recent expulsion of Russian diplomats as a glaring example of this approach.<\/p>\n

He was referring to the poisoning of former double agent Sergei Skripal and his daughter on British soil last month. After the UK accused the Russian government of orchestrating the crime, London and its allies expelled over 100 Russian diplomats. Naryshkin alleged that the poisoning was\u00a0\u201ccooked up\u201d<\/em>\u00a0by British and American intelligence services. He said the unwillingness of some European nations to join those expulsions is a sign that Washington\u2019s system of\u00a0\u201cvassalage\u201d<\/em>\u00a0is crumbling.<\/p>\n

In its arrogance\u00a0\u201cthe US increasingly resembles the overconfident Biblical strongman Goliath, who was slain by the young David.\u201d<\/em>\u00a0 The global community should pay attention to that story, the official stressed \u2013 otherwise the tension between the West and Russia may lead to\u00a0\u201ca new Caribbean [Cuban missile] crisis.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The West is targeting Russia with wild accusations because it perceives it as a driver for change in the world, the Russian official said. Washington now has a\u00a0\u201cfixation\u201d<\/em>\u00a0on fighting\u00a0\u201ca non-existent Russian threat,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0and the forms of this fight have become\u00a0\u201cridiculous,\u201d<\/em>according to the intelligence chief.<\/p>\n

\u201cPolitics never was an honest business. But the amount and nature of lies spurred today in attempt to justify Western hegemony is unprecedented,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said. According to Naryshkin, the West is using Orwellian \u2018doublespeak,\u2019 investing words with the opposite of their true meaning to justify its policies.\u00a0\u201cThe situation is counterintuitive and really dangerous,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he warned.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo many times big talk about human rights and democracy was accompanied by military interventions into sovereign nations. Those nations were plunged into bloody chaos that had no place for such a fundamental right as a right to live. Over the past two decades, hundreds of thousands of innocent people fell victim to NATO aggression in Europe, the Middle East and Northern Africa,\u201d<\/em>\u00a0he said.<\/p>\n

There is a greater need\u00a0“to reset the international relations system to make it work.”\u00a0<\/em>That would require the countries to abandon double standards and\u00a0“start speaking in a truly common language of humanity, before it is too late.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Naryshkin was speaking at the opening ceremony of the 7th Moscow Conference on International Security. The high-profile event in the Russian capital is being attended by delegations from 95 nations.<\/p>\n
