00:00Secretary of State Marco Rubio delivered a speech at the Munich Security Conference
00:05that has sparked a wave of reactions due to his explicit defense of Western colonialism.

00:21after World War II and the communist revolutions as signs of the weakening of the Western dominant
00:29system and invite Europe to join President Trump's project to restore its influence.
00:37The statesmen quickly generate responses with international analysts, interpreting the speech
00:44as a declaration of war against multipolarity and a direct challenge to the principles of
00:51sovereign equality among nations.
00:53The standing ovation he received from European representatives has been particularly questioned
01:00as many interpret it as a sign of alignment with a vision that delegitimizes the decolonization
01:10processes that transform the political map of the 20th century.
01:22International reactions were not long in coming, former Indian Foreign Minister Kawa Siba wrote
01:29on his social media accounts.
01:32This is in fact a declaration of war against everything that is not Western.

01:38What Rubio is saying is that the world's most urgent issues will be identified by the United
01:45States.
01:46The United States will use its power to deal with them and the results will be determined
01:52by the national interests of the United States.
01:56Very disturbing for the future.
