The biggest consequence of the Russia-Ukraine war has appeared, and two of Russia's small allies have run away! The South Caucasus is in turmoil, and the United States, Azerbaijan, and Armenia are preparing to build a corridor leading to the Caspian Sea.
General Kurilla, the Commander of the U.S. Central Command, arrived in Pakistan and held meetings with senior officials from Pakistan, Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Kyrgyzstan, deciding to strengthen military cooperation.
The Russia-Ukraine war has tied up most of the Russian military's efforts on the Ukrainian battlefield. Meanwhile, the United States and Turkey are taking the opportunity to enter the South Caucasus and Central Asia regions. Once the cooperation is achieved, U.S. and even NATO military forces will appear in the Caspian Sea region.
U.S. military and Israeli military bases will be established in the South Caucasus region and the Caspian Sea, directly targeting Russia's vulnerable area. The United States and Turkey will certainly try every means to control the South Caucasus.
Controlling the South Caucasus region allows direct access to the five Central Asian countries. Now, the Russia-Ukraine war has become a critical opportunity for the United States and Turkey to compete for the Caucasus and the five Central Asian countries.
The real struggle has just begun. Russia is fighting for Ukraine and controlling the Caucasus and Central Asia regions. It is not so much for Russia's security as it is to hold onto Russia's traditional sphere of influence that has lasted for hundreds of years.
