Recently, Putin's whirlwind visit to the Middle East has aroused widespread concern in the international community. Although, after the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Putin was wanted by the International Criminal Court and other factors, and was absent from many meetings of an international nature, except for the countries of the former Soviet Union, Putin has only been to China and Iran. However, this "rare" visit to the Middle East indicates that Russia may not be able to come to the outside world in the diplomatic field.
According to the "AFP" report, Russia's ** Putin, escorted by four bomb-loaded Su-35S fighters, landed safely in the Middle East. From the ** posted on the Internet, we can see that Putin's arrival not only received the highest etiquette from the UAE, but also Saudi Crown Prince Salman also had a very happy conversation with Putin.
Frankly speaking, whether it is the warm welcome of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, or the reception of Iranian Raisi immediately after Putin's return, it can be seen that after the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Russia has made up its mind and is ready to launch a new diplomatic counterattack.
For a long time in the past, in the international diplomatic arena, it was basically the Americans who engaged in "one word". As long as it is against Russia, there is almost a chorus of echoes in all the halls, and many third world countries, under the oppression of the hegemon, dare not speak out, and all they can do is sit in the audience and applaud together. Although there are different voices in the Western society, for example, Hungary resolutely opposes the Western bloc and imposes all-round sanctions on Russia, but it was quickly liquidated by the West. It is clear that they know very well what it means as long as it does not conform to the will of the United States.
And the world is always full of magic. The sudden outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict not only stole the attention of the whole world at once, but also left the United States directly deprived of skills. More importantly, the United States has led the Western world to pull the strings, which has directly ignited the anger of Arab countries and even the whole world.
Not long ago, after the German ** Steinmeier arrived in the Middle East, he was cold for half an hour directly at the airport, and after Putin landed in the Middle East, there was first a formation of UAE fighters, painting the colors of the Russian flag in the air, and then a full set of cavalry escorts. The difference in treatment between the two speaks for itself.
In addition, in my opinion, the most important signal released by Putin's visit to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates this time is that the domineering and confident Russia has finally returned.
As stated in an article by Agence France-Presse, the Russian army has held the front line in Ukraine, and Russia's oil revenues have also appeared after learning to circumvent Western sanctions, and Putin is now speaking more confidently than ever.
All in all, this is the development of the world, and it has always been so ups and downs. For more than two years before, Russia was still overwhelmed by the Western bloc diplomatically, but now it can be regarded as a "full-blooded resurrection". Personally, I think that Putin, who has regained his self-confidence, will most likely retaliate against the United States next, let's wait and see.
