This international commentary by Mu Shu is to analyze some of the views of Israeli scholars on the Russian-Ukrainian war.
enters mid-December, and the Russian-Ukrainian war will soon enter its 10th month.
Jerusalem Post once published an analysis of the Russian-Ukraine war by a Jewish scholar Emerz. Uncle Mu believes that some of his views are quite interesting, especially because he did not simply stand on either side of Russia or Western positions, but instead examined the Russian-Ukraine war from a third-party perspective. This is a more valuable aspect of his analysis.
This Israeli scholar has some insightful summary of the problems that may arise in the war and after the war, and also made an objective analysis of other actors such as the West and Ukraine being affected by the war.
His summary of Russia's gains and losses in the war is that Russia's failure is obvious.
Politically, it failed to overthrow the Ukrainian government; militaryly, its actions were also humiliated; economically, it was deeply trapped in sanctions and sieges; weapons, it proved inferior; diplomatically, its adventurism led to NATO suddenly expanding to Swedish and Finnish , which instead made the Russians even more insecure. The above analysis of
is actually relatively simple, but many people, including some netizens, turned a blind eye to it. They also believed that Russia's actions were going smoothly, and even believed that the more sanctions were stronger. This Jewish scholar could hit the point in just a few words, and raised the Russian issue very simply but profoundly. More importantly, there was no exaggeration, and they were all in line with reality.
In particular, he mentioned that Putin visits Iran, making the strategic crisis facing Russia more obvious. Because the people he met were contradictory.
Erdogan provides Ukraine with drone to strike Russia; Putin wants to obtain drones from Iranian President Laixi to attack Ukraine.
Therefore, in the view of Israeli scholars, this meeting will not make Russia the protagonist of victory, but instead indicates the difficulties of the current situation.
At the same time, this scholar also mentioned that Russia's failure does not equal the victory of other characters.
He believes that no matter Ukraine, EU , the United States, even Israel and the Jews, they cannot easily win at present.
From the perspective of Ukraine, although bravely resisted the invasion, due to the deaths of thousands and the displacement of millions, multiple cities were razed to the ground, and reconstruction took decades and cost tens of billions of dollars.
Uncle Sam is not a winner at the moment.
Because efforts to determine the direction of the war through sanctions are currently a failure. Although the West imposed multiple sanctions on Russia, China and India, as well as some of the major powers in the third world, did not join. In short, while the US-led sanctions against Russia are indeed painful economically and with obvious signs of decoupling, they are politically ineffective. It also failed to stop Russia from stopping the war.
Europe is the third actor who is not a winner.
Although the conflict with Russia has made the European continent re-express a sense of vitality, unity and purpose that has not been there for a long time, a major test will come in winter, when the problem of EU sanctions on Russia's natural gas may ferment, and even cause millions of people to tremble in the cold winter, and may face death. Russia can still divide Europeans by using energy, which may be more fulfilling to them than the EU's complete resumption of imports of Russian natural gas.
In addition, since Russia and Ukraine have a large number of Jews, Israel strives to maintain a balance on both sides, and even tried to mediate at the beginning of the war. However, Israel is a Western country after all, and its attitude towards Syria and Iran cannot be eased, so the relationship with Russia has a rift, affecting the security of the Jews.
In short, the war launched by Russia affected everyone around the world, including themselves. Therefore, it is very important to seek a comprehensive policy to resolve the current war crisis.
