The decision to deploy a "special military operation" in Ukraine could reduce the prestige of Russian President V. Putin in the international arena and face unprecedented heavy sanctions from the US and other countries. In the West, however, Russia seems to have prepared psychologically and response options, still determined to carry out a "special military operation" - which contributes to bringing favorable factors for long-term development. Russia, which firmly guarantees a neutral Ukraine, does not carry out a pro-Western foreign policy. The deeper goal of that decision was to bring Ukraine back into the sphere of influence to create a counterweight to NATO, to re-establish a security buffer between Russia and the West, as the Soviet Union had previously pursued, redesigned the European security map and brought Russia back to the "chessboard" for the superpowers.
On the American and Western side, since the end of the Cold War, NATO has always considered Russia the number one security threat; while the US considers Russia and China to be its top "strategic competitors". The US and the West have always wanted to extinguish Russia's hopes of restoring the Soviet Union's status as a global power to its former status through NATO's "Eastward" process. The relationship between Russia and the US and the West has gone through many ups and downs between confrontation and détente, although different in degree, it is still essentially strategic competition and antagonism of interests. The influence of one party, in the approach of the other, will narrow the interests of the other. Overall, the United States has a constant strategic goal of maintaining global leadership and an international order in America's favor, restraining and preventing Russia from emerging to challenge America's position.
Specifically, in the Russia-Ukraine political crisis, before the conflict broke out, the US and the West were said to have calculated in the implementation of information warfare, further increasing tensions between Russia and Ukraine to prevent conflict. easily realize the plan of "Westernizing Ukraine", attracting countries with pro-Russian tendencies to rely entirely on the US and the West... When the war broke out, the US and the West did not directly participate in the war but increased their aid. helping Ukraine with modern equipment and weapons, imposing strict economic sanctions on Russia... In the calculations of the US and the West, the escalating tension between Russia and Ukraine also helps the US and the West have the next big goals can be achieved. In particular, in the event that Russia is "bogged down" in the war, this will be an opportunity for the US and the West to take advantage of the reconstruction of the European security situation and create economic mechanisms without Russia's participation in favor of the US and the West; at the same time, reducing Russia's national synergy in the international arena. For the US, any armed conflict is an opportunity to help the US earn huge profits from arms sales to warring parties and related parties. There are some opinions that it seems that the US and the West do not really want Ukraine to join NATO, because when Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, the US and NATO will have to fulfill the obligation to support Ukraine - an ally. which does not bring too many close benefits to the US and NATO. Therefore, NATO remains open to the possibility that this organization can admit Ukraine at an appropriate time. However,
In the event that in the face of strong pressure from the international community, causing profound and comprehensive damage to Russia, Russia actively reduces tensions, the United States can build a reputation in the role of conflict mediation, and Russia must making concessions to the US in solving other international issues, especially those related to the Middle East "fire pan". Israel is a longtime ally of the United States and it is a fact that oligarchs as well as politicians of Jewish origin - to a certain extent - play a very important role in American politics.
