Afrasianet - Russian President Vladimir Putin would not have gone to war if the Ukraine, which is being driven by the West, had responded to his demands in his right to preserve Russia's national security. The Ukrainian president, who is known to everyone as a puppet of America, refused.

Head of the Department of International Relations at the London School of Economics, Professor Fawaz Gerges, describes Western writings on Vladimir Putin as "superficial and lacking in depth and real understanding of Putin's mentality".

Gerges adds - that the purpose of what he writes about Putin in the West is to "demonize the man," adding that there are attempts to portray the Russian president as "reckless, dangerous, and lacking in rationality and political appreciation."

The British professor - who is head of the Middle East Center in London - disagrees with the estimates that Putin does not think about the interests of others, "because this thesis is not based on accurate academic and scientific foundations."

This view is due, according to Gerges, "to a lack of Western understanding of Putin's strategic view," as he chooses his battles in a very sensitive way. Like a chess player, Putin does not reveal all his moves at once, "but moves gradually and measures the reaction before the next move."

Putin does not have any dream of restoring the glories of the Soviet Union, "but wants to protect the vital security of Russia as a superpower that has its say in the world."

The head of the Council for Arab-British Understanding, Chris Doyle, attributes the discrepancy in Western analyzes of the Russian president's personality to the nature of "Putin's personality; it is difficult to read and difficult to predict."

The British academic disagrees with Western analyzes that portray Putin as an "adventurous person," and says, "On the contrary, he carefully calculates his steps, and also appreciates Western reactions," describing readings that say Putin is a reckless person as "superficial."

For these reasons, Putin declared war on Ukraine

Russian military experts say that all the facts have led to the need for urgent military action, and to go to the option of forcing Kyiv to peace, even by using force. At the same time, Dudchak says that the Western system ignored the Ukrainian military build-up on the contact lines with the Donbass region, as well as the bombing it launched against the armed forces of the Donetsk and Lugansk republics there, which led to dozens of deaths and the start of a mass exodus of civilians.

Putin's speech was comprehensive and coherent, and contained, as in the Donetsk and Luhansk recognition speech, a reminder of the "historical facts related to the illegal establishment of the Ukrainian entity" and at the same time "the hostile attitude of the regime in Ukraine towards Moscow, and the direct participation of the West in trying to weaken and stifle Russia."

In any case, Russian President Vladimir Putin, contrary to what the West says, has a likable personality through which he has forged and developed many friendships for officials and presidents, not because of the lamps, but because of the friendship itself. For example, and on the Jordanian example, diplomatic relations between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Soviet Union (formerly) and the Russian Federation (currently) began on (August 21, 1963), that is, about 58 years ago completely and completely, and the last meeting between His Majesty King Abdullah II and Russian President Vladimir Putin was In October 2019, during His Majesty’s participation in the Valdai Dialogue Forum in the Russian city of Sochi, and on (June 11, 2020), a phone call took place between the two leaders, in which, according to the Kremlin, they discussed “unifying efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic and the two files in Syria.” and Libya.”

The economic and trade relations between Jordan and Moscow have witnessed tangible developments over the past years, and the two countries are bound by multiple political, economic, cultural and tourism agreements, which had a major role in strengthening relations between them and building a real and strategic partnership in various fields.

There is a joint Jordanian-Russian committee that meets periodically to follow up on areas of joint cooperation. Especially in the fields of agriculture, tourism, transport and energy, and in order to develop cooperation between the two countries in the field of tourism, His Majesty King Abdullah II gave Russia a plot of land near the Al-Maghats area, on which a church was built that contributed to the increase in the number of Christian pilgrims to this historical religious site, and Jordan was - and still is - counting on it.

On the return of Russian tourists to the Kingdom, specifically Aqaba and Madaba, to compensate for the damage caused to the tourism sector as a result of the Corona pandemic.

Relations have developed into friendship between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Jordanian King Abdullah II, to develop their ability to achieve stability in the region, based on the strategic partnership between the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan and the Russian Federation, and the permanent and continuous relationship between His Majesty King Abdullah II and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
