No one expected that the situation would become so fast, and in just a few days, Putin received two bad news in succession, directly losing two important allies in the international community, or will have a great impact on the future world situation. The first piece of bad news, Turkey, which was firmly on the side of Russia, suddenly changed its face and announced its support for Finland and Sweden to join NATO, Turkey: no way, they have given too much; The second bad news, under strong pressure from the West, Indonesia, which had strongly supported Russia's participation in the G20 summit two days ago, also suddenly turned its face: it had refused Putin's attendance. Today we will talk in detail about the causes and consequences of these two things.
First of all, the first bad news, according to relevant reports, NATO recently held a summit in Madrid, and when the summit was about to end, Sweden, Finland and Turkey publicly announced that they had reached a tripartite agreement, the main content of which was that Turkey had agreed to Sweden and Finland joining NATO.
Obviously, this major change in Turkey's attitude will completely eliminate the last obstacle to Sweden and Finland's accession to NATO, and it will not be long before the two countries join NATO will become an established fact, and Russia will also have to face huge military pressure from the northwest.
So, why did Turkey, which was firmly opposed to Sweden, Finland's accession to NATO, change its attitude this time? All in all, NATO has given too much.
According to the contents announced by relevant parties, in order to allow Sweden and Finland to join this time, NATO has offered a lot of benefits to turkey:
First, Sweden and Finland will fully support the Turkish fight against prevention and control and will no longer support the PKK and recognize it as a terrorist organization. Without the tacit support of the West, the Turkish side's future action against the PKK will be much easier.
Second, the three countries will establish a unified dialogue and cooperation mechanism to strengthen cooperation in counter-terrorism. This is also important for the Turkish side, many Kurdish members and backbone members have been able to obtain asylum in Sweden and Finland, but the Turkish side has nothing to do about it, and now after the establishment of this cooperation mechanism, Sweden and Finland will expel or extradite those requested by turkey.
Thirdly, Turkey, Finland and Sweden confirmed the lifting of the arms embargo between the three parties.
On the whole, the NATO side almost completely agreed to almost all the conditions proposed by the Turkish side before, so that the Turkish side has reaped huge benefits, of course, these are only on the surface, in the secret NATO side has promised the Turkish side of which benefits, it is unknown, anyway, now the Turkish side is a sneering smile: "I have got what I want."
Obviously, for Russia now, the most serious thing is not that Sweden and Finland will soon join NATO, but that turkey has taken a big step towards the "pro-American road", after all, NATO has never done a loss-making business, this time to pay such a big price, it is impossible to just let the Turkish side support Fenrui to join NATO, the future will definitely push the Turkish side to also stand in the "anti-Russian camp", or make provocations to Russia. As a major country in the Middle East, the military strength of Turkey cannot be underestimated, which will bring more heavy strategic pressure to Russia. This time, Putin is really a little difficult to deal with.
The second piece of bad news, according to relevant reports, recently at the end of the G7 summit, the Italian prime minister suddenly and publicly stated that the Indonesian president had refused to let Putin personally attend the G20 leadership summit in Bali. Obviously, in the face of the heavy pressure exerted by the West, the Indonesian side cannot bear it, and can only suddenly change its face to overturn its words that it wanted to invite Putin to attend two days ago and made this statement.
It has to be said that the G20 summit, as the world's most important platform for economic cooperation, is now under the control of Western countries, gradually deviating from its essence, and has begun to become a tool for Western countries to contain or even suppress other countries, which is really a very ironic thing.
This also proves once again how hypocritical this set of so-called "international order" formulated by the West is, in the final analysis, it is only an order that "safeguards Western interests" rather than an order that promotes "world peace and development." This set of so-called "order" in the West should have been completely broken a long time ago.
All in all, although Russia has achieved great results in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the counterattack of Western forces is still very strong, the international situation is still not optimistic, and Putin still has a long way to go if he wants to completely break the encirclement of the Western world.
