Opinion by Sebastian Mallaby: In a long struggle with Russia, Biden must think bigger than the West
to condemn Russia in United Nations votes. Economically, the West is grappling with stagflation, but poorer countries face the far more acute prospect of food riots, debt crises and even regime collapse.
This double division — anti-Western feeling combined with economic grievances and political instability — is bad news for the Biden team. If desperate developing countries line up to buy oil and gas from Russia, Putin won’t be isolated. If they denounce the United States and its allies at the United Nations, it will be harder to sustain the Western coalition. Anti-Western feeling, on top of state failure, can also affect U.S. security directly.
