After World War II, the world was dominated by two powerful states, the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States focused on Europe, while the Soviet Union focused on Asia, but the country it chose to fully support was not China but Israel, which made many people wonder, so why did the Soviet Union make such a choice? The author believes that this is nothing more than because it is profitable.
First, the Soviet Union helped Israel to establish relations with Middle Eastern countries and promote cooperation. Before and after World War II, the Soviet Union did not have many contacts with Middle Eastern countries, but in the face of the alliance between the United States and Europe, the Soviet Union had to start considering forming its own forces, so the Soviet Union set its sights on the Middle East and chose Israel. It can be seen that by assisting Israel, it can establish contacts with other Western countries, so that it can stop the situation of being attacked by the enemy in its belly. Therefore, choosing to help Israel can establish good cooperative relations with Western countries and be recognized by Western countries.
Second, the Soviet Union helped Israel to breathe its own breath and build up its strength against the United States. After World War II, the Soviet Union's political, economic, and military systems were severely hit, and its own strength could not be compared with that of the United States. It can be seen that if the Soviet Union wants to change this situation, it will need to help Israel, because helping Israel can divert the military spearhead of the United States. So the Soviet Union helped Israel in large part to be able to store up its own strength.
All in all, the Soviet Union's help to Israel was profitable. Without helping Israel, the Soviet Union could not establish ties with the West, could not fight the United States, and could only kill itself. Therefore, the Soviet Union was able to compete with the United States after World War II because it made the right strategic choice, that is, to shift its focus to Asia and help its neighbors, such as Israel.
In fact, it is not difficult to see that this big chess game under the Soviet Union is indeed worthy of taste. Although the Soviet Union no longer exists, many aspects of it are worth learning and lessons to be learned. Of course, even today the Soviet Union still has a lot to learn. We should study the history of the Soviet Union in the past and increase our ability to resist abroad. After all, no matter when it is a good man, don't mention the courage of the year, the current strength is really powerful.
