Leaked Pentagon documents reveal secrets of U.S.-Russia fight for Middle East and Ukraine war.

TL;DR Summary
Leaked U.S. documents reveal that Middle Eastern countries are increasingly embracing Russia amid concerns of an emerging, U.S.-shaped vacuum. Despite receiving billions of dollars in U.S. security aid, some Middle Eastern countries are not willing to unflinchingly follow America’s lead. The documents suggest that even Israel, which receives nearly $4 billion a year in U.S. security aid, is trying to balance its ties between the U.S. and Russia. The Biden administration’s approach to the Middle East relies heavily on maintaining good relations with Israel and strengthening economic, diplomatic, and other ties between Israel and its Arab neighbors.
