With his attack on the “Anglo-Saxons” .. Is Putin seeking to split the camp of the West?

PutinAt the signing ceremony of the accession agreements of 4 Ukrainian regions to his country: "Sanctions are not enough for the Anglo-Saxons, they have turned to sabotage, in fact, they have begun to destroy the infrastructure of the whole of Europe, it is clear from the beneficiary"referring to the United States.

And"Anglo-Saxon" A term used by the Kremlin propaganda tool against the United States and Britain, in particular, but in a derogatory manner, it means, according to Russian usage, the immoral West. Russia does not belong to that immoral West and its rules do not apply to it.

Part of the Russian strategy

Commenting on Putin’s speech, Irina Zuckerman, an American expert on security and strategic affairs, said that Russian rhetoric has always tended to be at least somewhat anti-Western, especially since Vladimir Putin first assumed political power.

Zuckerman added, to"Sky News Arabia": "The current rhetorical escalation remains part of a strategy that largely targets the local population to keep them in check and antagonize the United States and other English-speaking countries with regard to economic losses, political and social instability, and secondary audiences are allies and potential allies in other parts of the world who are reluctant to join to other parties".

"Attacking the foreign policy and internal polarization of Western countries and blaming them for problems of the past such as colonialism aims to manipulate other countries into getting closer to Russia at a pivotal moment of the war in Ukraine, where Moscow on the other hand is trying to demonstrate its power by declaring the annexation of different strategic areas and deploying nuclear vehicles On the border and in the Arctic, although in reality it continues to lose territory"According to Zuckerman.

Exploiting Western Divisions

The political analyst explained that "some European countries Like Germany, it is affected by such discourses very easily, at a time when it faces the direct consequences of the war through the crisis of access to energy, which makes the German position more conservative than the positions of Britain and America.

In this context, the United States prevented Israel from selling weapons to Germany with components of American technology for fear of sharing this technology with Russia.

Russia uses such differences to try to exploit existing divisions and blame the UK for Brexit, which it claims has weakened the front and European economies.".

"In the past, Putin has blamed the United States and the United Kingdom specifically for many "provocations" in the Black Sea"According to Zuckerman, "During the war, Putin claimed that these two countries wanted to prolong the war, blaming them on not providing Ukraine with enough resources to win quickly and decisively and manipulating loyal Western nations to blame the US and UK for allowing the Russians to make gains.".

Before you realize: "But in reality, of course, the war would have continued even without Western intervention as was evident from the early days when Western countries, including the United States and the United Kingdom, were reluctant to help Ukraine with weapons because they thought Russia would inevitably take over anyway, but The Ukrainians continued to fight until such time as they convinced the West that they had the potential to prevent a complete takeover".

“Putin has used euphemisms to attack the West win the support of other nations in the international community; For example, use the word "Hello" In the context of noting that the United States and the United Kingdom should abandon support for Ukraine, and make non-historic propaganda claims that serve his country’s self-interest, he addressed the international community"According to the political analyst.

confirmed that "In fact, the more Russia continues to lose territory in Ukraineincreased pressure on it to find any level of support in the international community as it will appear unable to carry out its folds on the one hand, or deliver on promises such as unrestricted access to grain and energy sources from Ukraine on the other".

However, as the Russian war in Ukraine has led to a series of global crises in the areas of energy and food security, it is increasingly difficult to justify blaming the West for anything but strategic errors in the process; The longer the war continues to affect the global economy and other aspects of life, the more difficult it will be to try to apply various criteria to this situation, Zuckerman said.
