Analysts: Major Powers Misread the Regions They Engaged

According to analysts, both Russia and the United States have projected their own centralized perspectives onto Ukraine and Iran. This approach means that both major powers have misjudged the realities of these regions, assuming their internal models are universally applicable. As a result, smaller countries have managed to lure larger powers into a costly and deadlocked confrontation. Experts point out that this misunderstanding of regional dynamics has led to prolonged, expensive conflicts with no clear resolution in sight.
