The humorous saying among Russian truck drivers, “Let a Russian truck carry you across the world,” inadvertently reflects the current state of Russia’s foreign policy: strategic yet challenging.
Russia, spanning across Eurasia, is often likened to a “giant” on the geopolitical chessboard. Much like choosing the right truck for each route, Russia’s foreign policy adapts to different historical periods and international contexts.
Speaking of Russia, one cannot ignore its close relationship with China. These two neighboring nations, like two heavy-duty trucks, are jointly operating the New Silk Road, connecting the economies of Asia and Europe. This project promises development opportunities for both sides and significantly impacts the global economic order.
The story of the Crimean Peninsula, annexed by Russia in 2014, represents a calculated move. Like navigating a truck through challenging terrain, Russia faced risks and international backlash to protect its strategic interests.
In the Middle East, Russia acts as a seasoned truck driver, skillfully maneuvering amidst conflicts and power struggles between major powers. Its relationships with Syria, Iran, and Turkey demonstrate Russia’s efforts to maintain a balance and avoid being drawn into instability.
Russia’s foreign policy, like the journeys of trucks traversing various routes, is full of uncertainties. Which path will this “giant” choose to achieve global superpower status?
