Baghdad / NINA / - Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that the United States has not achieved any of its goals during 20 years in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Speaking at the conclusion of the Valdai International Forum, today, Thursday, Putin said: “For two decades, the most powerful country in the world has been conducting military campaigns in two countries that cannot be compared in any way, but as a result, it was forced to reduce its operations without achieving any of the goals. goals, which she set for herself twenty years ago.

He added, "The United States did not only harm itself, but also inflicted great harm on these countries. This only made the situation worse.

According to the president, earlier, the winner of the war took responsibility for what was happening in the country and established a state there - for example, Vietnam North and defeat of South Vietnam and the United States and the unification of the country.

Attempts to dictate values ​​in unpredictable conditions are counterproductive, the Russian president said. "Values ​​are a unique product of the cultural and historical development of each country, and their mutual intertwining broadens one's horizons and allows one to understand one's traditions in a different way."

"But this process must be organic and cannot be rapid ... Attempts to dictate values ​​in conditions of uncertain and unpredictable probabilities further complicate an already acute situation and usually entail a backlash and reverse the expected outcome," Putin added.

Noting that the West's domination of world affairs gives way to a more diverse system, Putin said: "The changing balance of power presupposes a redistribution of shares in favor of those developing countries that hitherto feel neglected.
