Putin and his allies are approaching a terrible scenario – political scientist.

The Russian dictator Putin, in the conditions of the Russian Federation’s war against Ukraine, managed to gather around himself an alliance with North Korea, Iran and China. The problem is that three countries from this alliance have nuclear weapons.

According to the main theses of the article, the formation of an alliance between Russia, North Korea, Iran and China could have dire consequences. Playing on one front can lead to aggravation of the situation in other theaters of operations. Putin and his allies do not intend to stop.

Putin has formed a new axis of evil. This important warning came from Nicholas Eberstadt, chair of the political economy department at the American Enterprise Institute. According to him, Bechtol’s “horror” hypothesis is a scenario that will probably never come true, but it is precisely the terrifying consequence of the alliance between Moscow and Pyongyang. Eberstadt points out that the deployment of North Korean forces on the Ukrainian front should really alert the White House.

Four aggressive dictatorships—Russia, China, Iran, and North Korea—are strategically cooperating, and their cooperation is deepening and becoming more coordinated. Three of them have nuclear weapons, and Iran seeks to join this club, the political scientist emphasizes.

Most wars on the planet are interconnected. As historian Hel Brands notes, while Putin and his allies have failed to form a strong alliance like NATO, they are already more deeply integrated, both economically and militarily, than the Axis powers of World War II.

He draws attention to the fact that China and the Russian Federation subsidize North Korea, and the aggressor country relies on Beijing for sales markets, Tehran for attack drones, and North Korea for military equipment and manpower. We also cannot ignore the fact that Iran is receiving military technologies from Pyongyang and is increasing economic cooperation with Russia and China. Moreover, they actively defend each other in international and diplomatic forums.

We must understand that the war in Gaza and Lebanon against Israel, waged by Iranian proxies, is Russia’s war against Ukraine, just like the war in Taiwan, which China can unleash at a time convenient for Beijing. Failures in one theater of operations will lead to even greater failures,” Eberstadt concluded.
