1. Putin risked his "life" to personally visit the Middle East -- taking advantage of the illness of the United States to kill the United States.
According to the Kremlin statement, Russia's Putin has arrived in the UAE to begin his trip to the Middle East. The visit was anything but easy, as Putin is being wanted by the International Criminal Court in The Hague on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity in the context of Russia's invasion of Ukraine. However, Putin did not abandon this adventure because of this. On the way to the United Arab Emirates, Putin was escorted by four Su-35S fighter jets carrying air-to-air missiles, which shows that Russia has made great efforts in Putin's visit to the Middle East. This also makes people believe that Putin's trip to the Middle East will not only not return empty-handed, but must also have a major goal behind it.
The primary goal of Putin's visit to the Middle East is to seek further international oil production cuts, so as to increase oil ** and protect Russia's own interests, while also making the United States feel the pressure. The Middle East is a major oil producer and a major member of the oil exporting organization OPEC, and Russia's visit is undoubtedly aimed at gaining greater influence in the oil sector. However, oil is only one of the secondary objectives of Putin's visit.
There is a more important goal of Putin's visit to the Middle East, and that is to strike at the United States. Since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has been imposing sanctions on Russia around the world, hoping to isolate it. However, Putin's visit showed the world the fiery nature of Russian diplomacy, and Middle Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia received Putin with a high profile, which directly gave a resounding slap in the face to the US sanctions action. Putin's visit also means that Russia, as one of the five permanent members of the United Nations, is ready to intervene in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and join Middle East affairs. This is undoubtedly a huge challenge for the United States, because the situation in the Middle East will no longer be controlled by the United States alone, and China is mediating the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, and now Putin has joined it, which will completely disrupt the US strategic layout in the Middle East, and may even directly affect the foundation of US hegemonism.
Putin's "life-risking" visit to the Middle East this time is astonishingly sophisticated. His visit not only strengthened Russia's ties with the outside world in many aspects such as economy, energy and politics, but also rediscovered Russia's power to countries that had imposed sweeping sanctions on Russia and isolated Russia. More importantly, Putin's trip to the Middle East conceals an all-out blow to the United States. By strengthening Russia's influence in the oil market, Putin is not only able to safeguard Russia's oil interests, but also to put pressure on the United States through high oil prices. In addition, Putin's involvement in the Palestinian-Israeli conflict will completely disrupt the US strategic layout in the Middle East and deal a heavy blow to US hegemonism. This makes the U.S. strategy of comprehensive sanctions and isolation even more challenging, while Russia has a chance to regain its footing on the international stage.
Putin personally visited the Middle East and risked his "life", and this operation was undoubtedly aimed at expanding Russia's influence in the Middle East and at the same time putting pressure on the United States to combat American hegemonism. Putin's goals are not limited to oil resources, he wants to change the dominant position of the United States in the region through Middle East affairs, and join the mediation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. The operation demonstrated Putin's strongman politics and leadership, and through skillful diplomacy, he succeeded in putting Russia back on the international stage, announcing Russia's existence and determination to the world. Putin ushered in high-profile receptions with the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and more importantly, he demonstrated to the United States that Russia cannot be ignored with power and influence. The success of this visit will further increase Russia's voice and participation in global affairs, and will also make the hegemony of the United States in the international arena no longer unbreakable. Putin's adventurous action is destined to bring about a change in the pattern of the Middle East and a earth-shaking change for the world.
