روسیه در خاورمیانه چه می‌خواهد؟ الفارسية 1402

The eyes of the world are on the Middle East. Today, more than ever, this deeply troubled region is the focus of power games between major global players vying for international influence. Absent from this scene for the past quarter century, Russia is now back with gusto. Yet its motivations, decision-making processes, and strategic objectives remain hard to pin down. So what is Russia up to in the Middle East? In this hard-hitting essay, a leading analyst of Russian affairs Dmitri Trenin cuts through the hyperbole to offer a clear and nuanced analysis of Russia's involvement in the Middle East and its regional and global ramifications. Russia, he argues, cannot and will not supplant the U.S. as the leading external power in the region, but its actions are accelerating changes that will fundamentally remake the international system in the next two decades.
