Is This the Chilling Outcome of Putin's Calculated Manoeuvres?
By potentially diverting allied support from Ukraine to the Middle East, Putin might be crafting a dual crisis.
This strategic shift could not only trigger a severe oil price and supply shock, compelling Europe into a desperate move to activate the Nord Stream 2 pipeline to survive the impending winter, but it also reallocates critical aid from Ukraine. This could grant Putin a significant tactical advantage in his ongoing invasion, compromising Ukraine's defense capabilities.
This strategic manipulation risks not only a regional crisis but also global oil supply disruptions and profound logistical and economic instability.
It's a geopolitical maneuver that could reshape the global landscape with dire consequences.
