A More Authoritative Middle East

I want to share something intriguing about what I read today. It’s how the west's Middle Eastern partners have been eminently tepid in their judgment of Vladimir Putin's intrusion of Ukraine. All things being equal, they have supported their wagers. Generally endorsed, and some even co-supported, the innocuous UN General Assembly goal of March 2 calling for sure fire withdrawal in any case, simultaneously, none have joined the Western-drove authorizations of Russia. Probably the most remarkable US partners have gone further and stood up against the West.

 

For me, Israel and Turkey have both kept up with their nearby connections to Moscow, proposing themselves as arbiters as opposed to joining the counter Russian partnership. Saudi Arabia has declined Washington's solicitation to increment oil creation to bring down costs affected by diminished Russian stockpile.
