Putin, Trump phone call marks significant shift in global power dynamics


(MENAFN) The recent phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin marks a significant shift in global power dynamics, signaling that Russia has emerged victorious in its conflict with the West. Despite the US's reluctance to engage diplomatically with Russia in the past, the phone call signifies a new reality where the West, especially the US, can be compelled to negotiate on Russia's terms.

The article argues that the West's defeat in this "half-proxy" war with Russia could have been avoided by either seeking a compromise with Moscow earlier or staying out of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine altogether. However, the situation has now changed, and the West’s inability to find a solution has led to a historic turning point, shifting the geopolitical balance.

The piece criticizes the West for its handling of the Ukraine crisis, with Ukraine being portrayed as a pawn that has been abandoned by its so-called allies. It also warns that the European Union could face the same fate, used and then disregarded by the US, much like Ukraine. The potential for a broader détente between the US and Russia is mentioned, but the article stresses that EU elites may be pushed into a perilous position if they continue to follow US-led strategies against Russia.
