It seems that the agreement of the 12-day war of Iran has ended in humiliation – not only for Islamic Republic, as well as Russia, he failed to lift a finger for a loyal ally and lost a critical drone supplier. But Vladimir Putin’s President’s President and the very wrong time scale that makes foreign politics.
Certainly Putin reaffirms Russia as a force in the Middle East. Syrian Bashar Al-Assad was an important loss of the fall of President. With the help of Iran his failure, and the 20-year strategic cooperation that just signed with him was embarrassing.
A year ago, that made Moscow war effort in Ukraine, but Russia now makes the version of Iran Shahed drones. It is much more important to understand where all this is in the WorldView and priorities of Putin. The destruction of the Ukraine state is much higher for Russian president than any other foreign goal, in the Middle East or anywhere else. And in this score, Iran’s Israeli attack was a clean positive attack.
In the broad sense, the evident of another war in the Middle East has sucked Ukrainian care, energy and resources, leaving Putin with free hands. Even last week NATO Summit, committing to promote defense spending, were justified only by Russian threats. No one wanted anger in the lap of his victory of Donald Trump.
Specifically, Israel had wet the Israel’s missile bars of the Israelis to consume only an important part of his air defense storage, as well as some of the US using the air defense systems that carry a hand. Also, the US could only be confident that he was confident that Patriot battery had enough to protect his military base around the region. The threat can be returned for now, but the organizers in the Pentagon restart the war and will need more air defense, less available in Ukraine.
So Ukraine’s last time in the Russian missile and drone strikes. On Monday, Russia launched his biggest single bar from the beginning of the war, including 477 drones and decoy, as well as 60 valuistic missiles that require high level interceptors, such as patriotic. Ukraine lost a F-16 and trying to shoot the testicles, it is a clear indicator of voltage in the air defense systems of the country.
The attacks of previous days were therefore, so the air of despair around President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, more Patriot interceptors when he met its US counterbalant. Then Trump’s comments were also not true. He told Zelenskiy told them that the US could see what he could do, but the patriotists were difficult, because we also needed to be “the Israelites.”
That’s what they care about Putin, much more than you fail to come to Iran’s help. For this war, it will define the heritage he sees in the context of the construction of the Russian Empire over the centuries. Or his foreign minister, Sergei Lavrov, in 2022, has only three advisors. “Ivan terrible. Peter’s great. And a great Catherine.
Nothing that happened in the last three years is this view of the great Russian restoration. Putin is not only the existence of African Africa, but also a human, economic and military reassurance, is not the ability to stay at the top of Moscow Moscow Moscow Multipolar world. That is the reason Ukrainian intends to sign the trading covenant with the European Union, so it became angry in 2013; Kyiv would unite with his opponents team, the union of Eurasia.
“Everything in Ukraine is ours,” Putin said a enthusiastic home viewer at the Economic Forum of St. Petersburg, June 20th. It wasn’t shy to add a new city as a new public target for occupation, yes. Don’t make mistakes, they would be next to the list of Odessa and Kharkiv, which size and end will only determine what Kremlin finds the acceptable cost.
Ukraine is in critical joints. Until Trump arrived at the office, it was balanced, Putin was long enough to continue swates to swates his armed forces. Trump has changed the US military support, these calculations have changed and long district missiles and drone wars are essential for the victory of the Russian path.
Ukraine runs out of the air defense interceptions, Russian air forces – still continues to threaten his scale and skills. The impunity of Israel enjoyed Iran should be a point of memory of what Ukrainian may say: the catastrophic collapse of defensive lines were bombed to send their troops from the air.
Trump has changed from the moral darkness of the accused of Ukraine to invade, complaining about Putin’s disinterestia in peace. But he has to do better than that. He must admit, at least to himself, played Putin. The intelligence operation directing by Krump has been a ceasefire for further purposes of the Russian war, and at the same time growing weaknesses, including credit crisis.
It may be years, anyone who can say that the US military intervention in Iran had a success or failure with certainty. But if there is a consequence, Trump can succeed when Imposing the ceasefire of Israel and Iran, due to the practice of peace strength. That’s something that has failed in professions with Kremlin.
