Russia's recent surprise visit to the Middle East has attracted widespread attention from the international community. Putin has previously been wanted by the International Criminal Court, he has been absent from many international conferences due to the impact of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and has only traveled to China and Iran, except for the countries of the former Soviet Union. However, the move in the Middle East hints at a possible turnaround for Russia in the diplomatic arena.
Putin's arrival was warmly received by the UAE side, and Saudi Crown Prince Salman also held cordial talks with Putin. As can be seen from a published **, Putin is appreciated and treated with courtesy. The cordial greetings from Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, as well as the reception of Iran's Rouhani immediately after Putin's return, indicate that Russia has decided to launch a new diplomatic offensive after the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. For a long time, the United States was almost the dominant force in the international diplomatic arena, and the voice of opposition to Russia was widely supported, and the third world countries did not dare to speak out under the oppression of the hegemon, and could only respond to every call at the meeting. Although there are also different voices in Western countries, such as Hungary, which firmly opposes the West's comprehensive sanctions against Russia, it was quickly sanctioned by the West. Obviously, they know very well that they will be repressed as long as they do not meet the wishes of the United States.
But the world is always full of wonders. The outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has not only attracted the attention of the world, but has also aroused the anger of Arab countries and the whole world. Germany** Steinmeier was left out in the cold at the airport for half an hour during his visit to the Middle East. And after Putin's arrival in the Middle East, his arrival was escorted by a formation of fighters from the UAE and a display of the colors of the Russian flag in the air, followed by a group of cavalry. These two different treatments speak for themselves. In addition, I think the most important signal of Putin's visit to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates is that a domineering and confident Russia ** is back. As an AFP article put it, Russia is holding its ground on the front line in Ukraine, and while learning to circumvent Western sanctions, oil revenues have also appeared. As a result, Putin's speeches are now more confident than ever.
All in all, it's a world of progressive evolution, with ups and downs. In the previous two years, Russia had been suppressed by the Western bloc in foreign affairs, but now it has ushered in a "full blood resurrection". Personally, I think that Putin, who has regained his self-confidence, is likely to retaliate strongly against the United States, so let's wait and see.
The recent outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict has led to a surge of anger in Arab countries and around the world. This escalation is partly due to the hardline stance of the United States and its Western allies on Middle East affairs, which limits the legitimate rights and interests of Palestine and takes a biased attitude towards the resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. The United States has always been known for its hegemonic style of acting as a major power, and has taken a series of unilateral actions that have further ignited the anger of Arab countries. Such a strong policy is not only detrimental to the stable development of the Middle East region, but also does not meet the expectations of the international community.
On the one hand, the United States and its Western allies have a biased attitude towards the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and lack support for the legitimate rights and interests of the Palestinian people. Trump's decision to move the U.S. Embassy in Israel to Jerusalem is seen as a provocation to Palestinian activities. This action has provoked public outrage in the Arab countries and the Palestinian people and has aroused widespread concern in the international community. The unfair position of the United States has further aggravated tensions in the Middle East and complicated the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
On the other hand, the United States and its allies have imposed sweeping sanctions on Iran, which has exacerbated regional tensions. The United States' unilateral withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal has further aggravated the security situation in the Middle East. As an important player in the Middle East, Iran plays a role in maintaining regional stability. However, the U.S. sanctions policy threatens Iran's economic development and has led to an escalation of regional tensions. This action against Iran has not only sparked global attention, but also provoked discontent and anger in Arab countries against the United States and its allies.
Thus, it can be said that the tough position of the United States directly ignited the anger of the Arab world. Dissatisfied with US hegemony is gradually accumulating in the countries of the Middle East, as well as in many third world countries, and they are willing to see the formation of a multipolar world pattern in order to balance and reduce the global influence of the United States. And Putin's visit to the Middle East, which was warmly welcomed, shows the return of Russia's power and influence as an international power.
Putin's active attitude during his visit to the Middle East demonstrates the return of Russia's grandeur and strength as a great power. Although Russia has been suppressed by the Western bloc in foreign affairs over the past few years, with Russia's persistence in the conflict in Ukraine and its ability to learn to circumvent sanctions, as well as the ** of oil revenues, Putin is now speaking with more confidence.
Putin's trip to the Middle East is not only to develop economic, energy and military cooperation with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries, but more importantly, to demonstrate Russia's strong diplomatic capabilities and influence to the international community. As an important player in the Middle East, Russia is aware of the importance of Middle East affairs to regional stability and global order, and this visit is an important move for Russia to safeguard its own interests and exert influence.
Regarding Putin's recent activities, I personally believe that Russia is regaining its self-confidence and will take a tougher stance on the international stage. Although it is uncertain what kind of retaliatory measures Putin will take against the United States, it is certain that Russia has made up its mind to play a greater role in international affairs. This is not only a response to US unilateralism, but also a manifestation of Russia's self-confidence as a world power.
To sum up, the tough stance of the United States and its Western allies has sparked global outrage in the Middle East. Putin's trip to the Middle East shows Russia's return to diplomacy and could bring about a change in the global landscape. In the aftermath of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, Russia is determined to launch a new diplomatic counterattack, and Putin's visit has been warmly welcomed. The hardline policy of the United States has not only ignited the anger of Arab countries, but also exacerbated tensions in the Middle East. Putin's return shows Russia's grandeur and strength as a great power, and he may retaliate against the United States. In any case, this is a change in the world pattern, let's wait and see.
