The public confrontation between Trump and Zelensky in the White House has significant geopolitical implications, but for some analysts the most crucial aspect it conceals is none other than the long-standing and underground war between the United States and Great Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Amid the turbulent scene shaped by Volodymyr Zelensky\u2019s recent visit to Washington, as well as by the negotiations between Russia and the United States, the difference in the approaches of the United States and Britain regarding the war in Ukraine is becoming increasingly evident.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This is not the first time that this divergence has been observed. Even under Joe Biden, when Boris Johnson was Prime Minister of Britain, London followed an independent policy in its relations with Kiev, which did not always align with the American strategy. Furthermore, shortly after Donald Trump took office, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer was heavily criticized by Elon Musk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, the new US administration’s relations with London are particularly tense and have only begun to show some signs of easing in recent weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Anglo-Saxon Conflict Theory and Ukraine<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Within this context, a new theory of geopolitical affairs has been developed, according to which world events are determined by an underground conflict between the United States and Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n According to it, the British are forming a broad anti-American alliance, in which Europe, Turkey, China and India are allegedly participating. As part of this strategy, the British \u2013 always according to this theory \u2013 are attempting to torpedo American efforts for a quick end to the war in Ukraine and the restoration of relations with Russia. Their goal is allegedly to prevent Washington from strengthening through a possible rapprochement with Moscow, which would make the United States stronger in its international confrontation with Britain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In fact, this theory extends to the internal political processes in Ukraine, presenting the developments in the country through the prism of the US-UK rivalry. For example,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Like any theory of this type, the one about a “global war of influence” between the United States and Britain is based on certain real facts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The Historical Rivalry Between the United States and Britain and Geopolitical Developments in the Middle East<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Let us begin with the fact that, contrary to the widespread stereotype of an Anglo-Saxon alliance, relations between the United States and Britain have been tense or even hostile for most of history. On many issues, the two countries have essentially become bitter rivals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The return of old power centers and London\u2019s independent policy in the Middle East<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n However, as the geopolitical power of the United States has weakened over the past two decades, old power centers are reviving, which are attempting to restore their imperial greatness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Russia and Turkey are moving in this direction. At the same time, London has begun to demonstrate increased diplomatic activity, building relations with many countries\u2014something that does not always go hand in hand with Washington\u2019s plans. A typical example is the Middle East, where there are multiple groups of countries with conflicting interests:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is noteworthy that the current head of MI6, Richard Moore, was a British ambassador to Turkey and maintains close relations with Recep Tayip Erdogan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The geopolitical chessboard: Israel, Syria and Britain’s place in global competition<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The situation around Israel and in Syria, after the overthrow of Bashar al-Assad, clearly highlights the contradictions and geopolitical conflicts that are underway.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
