If so, he’ll restore US influence over Red Sea sea lanes, which is critical. Might see construction of a viable [economic] regime in the Red Sea area.  Also can start to look at Iran in a new context. Also, aid the bloc of Central Asian states, thereby facilitating trade from the Indian Ocean to [Europe].  A profound impact on the regional economy and separate Russia from being a [necessary] intermediary. He’ll have to counter a restless India, which might start another war with Pakistan to link itself with Central Asia through Gilgut.  Russia: Syria Ukraine? Baltics?  US an Russia have separate and competing interests; but for he past five years, and attempt to paint Russia as though it was the USSR and untouchable—for domestic purposes; stopped Trump.
