The Washington Post: “Thus, the Russian President's visit to Egypt is another turning point in the balance of power in world politics”

The Washington Post is seriously concerned that Russia is actively seeking and finding allies around the world. An article entitled 'Russian President Vladimir Putin meets with Egyptian leader' is looking for common traits in both presidents of the two different countries.

With their actions to establish contact and to explore ways of cooperation, Vladimir Putin and Abdel-Fattah al-Sisi show the West that without its intervention, both countries can be active players in world politics and economics. Strengthening military cooperation and trade relations between the two countries are frightening Western countries, but they have no choice but to watch.

Many analysts say Putin's visit to Egypt, the first in the past decade, is a symbolic kind of message to the US and Europe that the two countries support each other's independence, have options for Economic Cooperation and are not obliged to explain their actions to anyone.

Russia expanding its ties with Egypt, in turn, gives an obvious reply to Barack Obama's statement that "the isolation of Russia will only worsen, both politically and economically." And Egypt, despite the change of power and quite difficult economic situation, is seeking to show its position in world politics.

Despite numerous statements by European and American experts that neither Egypt nor Russia will be able to function in the world community without the support of the US and the EU, both countries show that cooperation in various sectors of the economy and military cooperation can be a fitting response to those countries that have taken the responsibility of deciding the policies of other states.

Thus, the Russian President's visit to Egypt is another turning point in the balance of power in world politics.

The British edition of the Daily Mail writes today about the president of Iran, who responded appropriately to the US president's statement that Iran does not have the political will or desire to take the necessary steps to reach an agreement on its nuclear program. Speaking in Tehran, Rouhani said that a successful outcome of the negotiations depends only on the Western powers, while Iran, in turn, has long ago made concessions. Now it is the turn of the United States and European countries to take decisions that will satisfy both sides. While the US Senate is advancing a bill on additional sanctions against Iran, Iran's leaders still hope that the West will be prudent enough to find the right solution.

At the same time, Rouhani does not obey the will of  the countries of the 'five+1' group, and insists that the final decision on the nuclear program will be taken by the Iranian government, as this issue relates directly to this country. The US’ desire to control other countries is becoming relevant on the agenda of many countries, and Iran understands that in this case it is better to show determination than to lose the credibility of its own people.
