Putin Is On a Mission in Middle East

Putin is Playing an Influential International Statesman

The Russian President has made a surprise visit to Syria on Monday. Putin also stopped in Turkey and Egypt as a part of this whirlwind tour and had meetings with the officials. This was a highly influential visit to the Middle East which some say was a part of a greater mission.

 

Putin is making a high fortune owing to his political policies.

Putin Wants To Take Advantage of Trump-Rage

While the American President Donald Trump is sparking outrage in the Middle East with his speeches, Putin has played the role of a sober and dependable partner. The Middle Eastern landscape sees a majority of Muslim powers, which are against Israel to claim Jerusalem. Therefore, to Putin, this is a chance of new relations.

Putin Has Achieved Alot From this Tour

Although this was a surprise tour, but the gains of this tour were far from imagining for the Bear. In all the three lands of Syria, Turkey and Egypt, Putin has looted treasures.

 

Putin with the Egyptian Upline

In Cairo, Putin has asserted the recommencement of the direct Russian Commercial flights since 2015. There were also talks regarding a nuclear project expected to be around $30 Billion and about Russian Air Force using the Egyptian bases to maintain the air superiority in the region.

 

Tayyip Erdogan and Putin shaking hands

In Ankara, Putin met Tayyip Erdogan for the eighth time this year. This is a proof of the improving relations between Turkey and Russia after the assassination of Russian Ambassador and shooting down of the Russian fighter.

Putin having a discussion with the Syrian Political and Administrative authorities

 In Syria, on his first visit since the authorization of Russian Military Intervention, Putin met Bashar al-Assad and declared victory over the IS. At Khmeimim air base near the Syrian coastal city of Latakia Putin delivered a victory-speech. He said,

“In two years, the Russian armed forces, together with the Syrian Army have defeated the most combat-capable group of international terrorists… In connection with this, I have made a decision: A significant part of the Russian military contingent in the Syrian Arab Republic is returning home, to Russia."

Analysis

Putin’s visit was no less than a political plan to gain support of the word-hurt Middle Easterners. Since Trump was busy declaring lands as capitals, the Russian think-tanks were at something more important. To me, this was a mission to gain the support of the disappointed Muslims.

The Muslims from around the World have a deep feeling for Jerusalem. Following the remarks of the American president, there is a lot of backfire. Hence, there will be no such implementation if the peace of all sorts has to be preserved. We are seeing many different authorities coming out and stopping Israel from considering Jerusalem as a capitol. Hence, we can assert that such an action won’t be taking place in the near future.

However, if we look from the Russian perspective, the same stance of America provides them a win-win situation. Trump is calling for a plan that is never going to happen in the near future, and the Muslim World is aggrieved over his assertions. So, the Russians have a sleek chance of intervening and making a fortune out of this catastrophe.

This is exactly what Putin has done. He hailed support to the annoyed Arabs and in response he dished out many important strategic and economic goals that can aid Russia in a long run.

Turkey and Arabs have also realized that the Trump-policies are not in their favor aesthetically. So, relying on a new power is getting more vital day by day. Hence, Russian move towards a better relation-building yields the results that can go a long way.

The only lobby that is facing a loss with this mission is the pro-allied nations’. The coherent Middle-Eastern policy of the US administration has failed with consequences of more failure coming towards them.

We are seeing Russia gaining more ground in the political warfare against USA. Hence, we are seeing Turkey moving away from the Americans, and soon, the balance of power in the European region will shift tides once more.
