Russia fails to win UN condemnation amid Middle East shift
The General Assembly rejected a U N condemnation of U S and British troop use in Jordan and Lebanon, strengthening Western positions. The Arabs endorsed a plan to halt inter-Arab conflict but left open the option to confront Israel, while Russia loses leverage and must pivot tactics. Turkey's border stance signals new regional tensions and possible Kremlin moves toward Azerbaijan or Iran as Formosa fears rise with a separate global distraction.
