Arabs after Ukraine

The Arabs today seem to be waiting on the sidewalk of history. Although most Arab governments voted internationally to condemn the Russian military campaign in Ukraine, while few of them refused or abstained from voting, the Arab public seemed different, and mostly enthusiastic about Russian President Vladimir Putin, perhaps Except for currents in the Syrian arena, which witnessed a bloody Russian intervention that prevented the fall of Bashar al-Assad's group.

The enthusiasm of the Arab street may not be love in Russia, nor hatred for Ukraine, in which we have neither elegance nor camel, but hatred for the Americans and the West in general, whom Putin fiercely challenged, and declared a war against him of extreme economic sanctions unprecedented in history, but they did not dare to engage in a war Direct military action, they know that it will not remain and will not be abandoned, especially with Russia’s possession of the most powerful nuclear arsenal in the contemporary world, allowing President Putin to destroy all the cities of the West in minutes. The comedian Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, who armed, trained and supplied Washington with tens of thousands of tons of lethal equipment to his army, and pushed it to challenge Russia, in a fight with a known outcome in advance, even if the dates were late, but without the slightest response to Zelensky's daily cries and pleas, and his pleading calls for America and NATO. To impose a no-fly zone in the skies of Ukraine, or even allow neighboring Poland to offerHundreds of old Soviet fighters, and Washington guaranteed their transfer to the remainder of Ukraine's air bases, which was rejected by the US President, citing fears of entering a war with Russia. There were opportunities and occasions to push Washington to it, not least the killing of an American journalist in the suburbs of "Kyiv". And the Russian missile attack on the Yavoriv base in western Ukraine, which is America’s major base for training the most courageous and solid Ukrainian fighters, of the type “Azov” and “Radi” brigades, which Russia seeks to exterminate, as they are among the Ukrainian nationalist groups “Nazis” described by Moscow.

Regardless of the course of the ongoing war, and the noticeable slowdown in the movement of Russian forces, the reluctance to storm major cities in central and western Ukraine, and focus on the Donbas and Mariupol regions in the east, Kherson, the northern Black Sea and the Sea of ​​Azov “In the south, perhaps with the aim of cutting it off and annexing it to Russia later, and forcing the “Kyiv” government to sign a surrender instrument, the chances of which may be delayed for weeks, with intermittent and deliberate fighting and incursions, which, with the ongoing negotiations, will lead to a “shake-up” in the Ukrainian situation, which is witnessing Bleeding connected to the flight and emigration of millions, regardless of all this, and other intertwined Russian methods, the significance of the Ukraine war appeared from the first day, and from the first bullet, and the world changed irreversibly to what it was, a development that did not arise today, not even with the crisis Ukraine, which turned into Saddam by fire, and indeed his emirate appeared visible more than ten years ago, when Moscow was deceived, and deprived itself of using the "veto" granted to it in the Security Council,It allowed NATO forces to impose a no-fly zone over Libya, under the pretext of preventing the Gaddafi regime from bombing the uprising civilians. Bashar al-Assad, who Iran intervened to support him in the face of the Syrian revolution, and until Russia intervened directly, and from the bases of “Hmeimim” and “Tartous”, and changed the balance of power, and rescued Bashar, after his rule nearly perished, and it may not help to stop here at the nature of Syrian equations The turbulent internal affairs, as the Syrian revolution had lost its first peaceful popular momentum, and turned into a deadly war, its armed parties seemed all mortgaged to the outside and billions of dollars, then there may not be much controversy about the brutality of the Russian intervention like others of every type and color, but the reality of the Russian intervention The armed conflict seemed to indicate a new global development, different from the period of the barbaric American invasion of Afghanistan and then Iraq, which reflected the singularity of the pole.At the time, the American administration managed the affairs of the world, and the entry into force of what was known as “unipolarity” that followed the collapse of communist Moscow, the disintegration of its former bloc in Eastern Europe, and the creep of “NATO” presence close to the borders of Russia itself, and its quest to devour and annex “Georgia” and “Ukraine”, The Russian bear woke up to the heavy “NATO” feet, knocking on its door, and igniting the “color revolutions” at its borders, and the response was apparent in the limited five-day Georgia war, then in the war to annex “Crimea” and cut it off from Ukraine in 2014, then with the movement of bombers and warships The Russians moved to the coasts of Syria in late 2015, and Washington accepted what happened as a fait accompli. It did not succeed in reversing its equations, nor in pushing Russia into a long war of attrition in Syria, which it is rethinking today with Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, even though Russian President Putin is aware of what he is planning, nor He retreats from the campaign to thwart him, despite the heavy burden of Western economic, financial, sports, cultural, political and other sanctions, America can no longerIt does what it did through about two decades of controlling the international summit, and it cannot isolate Russia as it promotes, especially with the awakening of the East Asian, which has continued its chapters over decades, and created new features for the arms races, the economy, trade and technology, and in Asia, sixty percent of the total population of the world, and 30 percent of the land area, and Russia, with its enormous land extension, is a “Euro-Asian” country at the same time, and it is the largest country in the world with an area of ​​17 million square kilometers, despite its average population (160 million people), and the size of its relatively modest economy (1.7 trillion dollars). Its vast cosmic view, from the west to the east of the world, gives it a warm neighborhood with China, which has six million square kilometers and a terrifying population (1).5 trillion people), which increases with the Chinese communities to more than the population of the American West and Europe and its dependents combined, and with an overwhelming economic strength and technology, it gives China the first global position for years with the criterion of purchasing power parity, and nominates it within a few years, to occupy its first deserved position globally, with its total output The nominal monetary nationalism, in addition to its global commercial network known as the “Belt” and the “Silk Road”, which means that the openness to China alone is the widest gates of the contemporary world, which is what Russia planned, which is returning to fighting America by force of arms, as it has become for China and Russia Relations "without borders", which simply means, that America's and the West's attempts to stifle Russia will often not work, and Washington is alarmed by a campaign of blackmail and pressure on Beijing, which has repeatedly failed. (146 billion dollars annually), which can be increased to no limits, in addition to the necessity of the WestThe European Union decided to buy Russian oil and gas, and through the territory of Ukraine itself, in a public dispute of interests with Washington's feverish frenzy.

In conclusion, a new world is being fully formed, and a global, eastern-western polarization is emerging, a Russian-Chinese pole facing the American West pole, which does not resemble the old bilateral polarization during the Cold War, perhaps except in the names of its convergent parties, with the change in weights, so there is no longer a place for polarizations Socialist and capitalist ideologies, after the transformations and upheavals that took place in the economic history of China and Russia before them, rather the polarization has become this time with complex aspects, in which nationalist meanings are mixed with formulas of governance and certain choices from the market economy, differing within the limits of the role of the state in particular, with the exposure and fall of masks of example The bankruptcy of its promoted values, the exposure of its blatant racism, with the blood inheritance on which its well-being was built, all of which are meanings that excite the imagination of Arabs as other oppressed nations. Their issues are in liberation and development, despite the different Russian timesCurrently, some of the restored smell of nostalgia is driving most of the Arab street to wish for Russia's victory, as if it were acting on their behalf to settle a bitter account with the Americans, and with the legacy of the colonial West that crushed their dreams and still is.
