Part 3/8:
The Russia-Ukraine War and U.S. Strategy
Beyond the Middle East, attention is shifting toward the ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine. Experts suggest that this war might overshadow other international issues at the UN meeting. The key factor is the economic impact of sanctions on Russia, which are largely sustained by China and India due to their continued purchase of Russian oil.
The U.S. seems poised to escalate pressure on Russia by targeting these key economic partners, potentially leading to a significant shift in global dynamics. Former President Donald Trump’s influence is also anticipated to be felt, especially as he "steps in directly" to scrutinize Putin’s strategy, signaling a possible shift in U.S. foreign policy.
