The peculiarity of Putin's trip to the Middle East is reflected in several aspects. First of all, the UAE and Saudi Arabia, which he visited, are close allies of the United States, which is a rare opportunity for Russia. Secondly, the warm reception of Putin by the UAE and Saudi Arabia exceeded the expectations of the West. The Emirati welcome ceremony was grand and warm, and the king of Saudi Arabia personally went out to greet him, and the two had a close relationship. This demonstrates the friendly attitude of Middle Eastern countries towards Russia and gives Putin an important breakthrough in diplomacy.
During this trip to the Middle East, a unity of common interests was formed between Russia and Middle Eastern oil exporters, especially among OPEC members. Due to the escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, international oil prices**, Russia and Arab countries have become the beneficiaries of oil prices**. This solidarity weakens U.S. influence over countries like Saudi Arabia and makes it difficult for the U.S. to interfere with the stability of oil prices.
In addition, Putin's trip to the Middle East also demonstrates the self-confidence and strength of Russian diplomacy. Since the Ukraine crisis, Russia has been under Western sanctions and pressure, and has been relatively isolated diplomatically. But with the de-escalation of the situation in Ukraine and Russia's active diplomacy in the Middle East, Putin is beginning to show diplomatic assertiveness. The visit to the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia and the show of affection with these US allies heralded a new atmosphere in Russia's diplomacy and marked a great change in the global strategic landscape.
Putin's trip to the Middle East reflects the collapse of US diplomatic strategy. First of all, the attitude of the countries of the Middle East towards the United States began to change somewhat. In the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Arab countries were dissatisfied with the statements of the United States and began to try to get rid of the guardianship of the West and seek a more independent foreign policy. Through this show of affection with Putin, who is being pursued by the International Criminal Court, these Middle Eastern countries have exerted diplomatic pressure on the United States to intervene between the United States and its Gulf allies.
Second, Putin's trip to the Middle East highlights the integrative interests between Russia and Middle Eastern oil exporters. As a member of OPEC, Russia shares common oil interests with Arab countries. And the unity of OPEC members makes it almost impossible for the United States to interfere with the production increase plans of Saudi Arabia and other countries, which is a heavy blow to the United States. The solidarity of the oil-producing countries has caused the United States to lose influence in oil policy, which in turn has an impact on its financial hegemony.
Most importantly, Putin's trip to the Middle East highlights the rise of Russian diplomacy. Since the Ukraine crisis, Russia has been isolated by the West and faces a diplomatic dilemma. However, with the easing of the situation in Ukraine and Putin's active diplomacy in the Middle East, Russian diplomacy has gradually become more assertive and assertive. This trip to the Middle East is undoubtedly an important breakthrough in Russia's diplomacy, heralding a tremendous change in the global strategic pattern and a severe test for the United States.
Putin's trip to the Middle East is a big challenge for Biden's diplomacy. Faced with Putin's diplomatic rise and the close relationship between Russia and Middle Eastern countries, Biden must adjust his diplomatic strategy. First, he needs to find new allies and partners to make up for America's diplomatic failures in the Middle East. Second, he needs to manage his relations with Saudi Arabia and other countries to avoid being isolated and affecting US oil interests. Moreover, he needs to re-examine the US policy in the Middle East in order to deal with the diplomatic tendency of Middle Eastern countries to become more autonomous and independent.
At the same time, Putin's trip to the Middle East also gave Biden some food for thought. Biden must recognize that Russia is an important international player and cannot ignore its influence in the Middle East. He needs to maintain communication and cooperation with Putin to jointly resolve the problems of the Middle East and promote regional peace and stability. In addition, he also needs to reflect on the US diplomatic strategy, especially intervention and intervention in the Middle East, to avoid further weakening US influence in the region.
In short, Putin's trip to the Middle East has brought great challenges to Biden's diplomacy and demonstrated the collapse of the US diplomatic strategy. For Putin, this trip to the Middle East is a sign of a diplomatic breakthrough and demonstrates Russia's diplomatic self-confidence and strength. For Biden, he must face this challenge and adjust his diplomatic strategy to safeguard US interests and status in the Middle East. The diplomatic interaction between the two sides will determine the direction of the global strategic pattern and will also have a far-reaching impact on peace and stability in the Middle East.
