Communist China and Vladimir Putin’s Russia are attempting to forge a “New World Order” in which the rules of the world are set in Beijing and Moscow instead of Washington, a Lithuanian MP has said.
Matas Maldeikis, a leading Lithuanian politician, has warned that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia is just the first step of the plan to upend the international order.
“Everything is being coordinated with China,” Maldeikis said. “Putin, along with China, is trying to create a New World Order, in which the rules of the world are created in Beijing and Moscow. Ukraine is just a part of this plan. Taiwan also.”
The MP said that he believes in exchange for China supporting Russia’s attempts to gain control of the former Soviet state, Russia would in turn ship Ukrainian wheat to China, which has been facing food shortages amid devastating droughts over the past year.
Maldeikis predicted that if Ukraine falls, Vladimir Putin would immediately press on and attempt to capture other former Soviet states such as Moldova and Georgia and then in “five to seven years” would test NATO again by going for the Baltic States, including Maldeikis’ home country of Lithuania, a member of NATO and the EU.
“Putin will tell the President of the U.S. — whoever it will be then — that he should give Baltics to him or he will use nukes against Europe and America. The President will then have to make a decision” as to whether the Baltics should be surrendered, the MP predicted.
