West using conflicts to disrupt BRICS rise – Bolivian leader

Western states led by the US provoke wars to make profit and preserve a “decaying” unipolar world order, Bolivian President Luis Arce has told RT. In contrast, BRICS countries represent an emerging, more equal global order, he said.

Arce cited the recent Iran-Israel escalation and the Ukraine conflict, alleging that Western officials deliberately exaggerated threats – such as claims that Russia could attack the EU – to provoke fear and justify escalation.

“These claptrap statements that provoked the war between Russia and Ukraine are the same statements that led to mutual attacks between Israel and Iran. They follow the same logic, they want to provoke the BRICS countries to take retaliatory actions,” Arce told RT at the BRICS Summit in Brazil.
