I have to say, this is really an eventful autumn! Just entered November, the United States has made successive moves, and seems to have accelerated the pace of trouble!
On November 4, the Global Network reported that William Burns, the director of the CIA, had secretly visited Russia on November 2 and held talks with a number of senior Russian officials in two consecutive days! In this regard, the russian side released the news that the two sides are discussing where the US-Russia relationship will go! Let's be honest.
It should be pointed out that before Burns's visit to Russia, the Russian media published an article saying that the United States has successively offended China and Russia, under the pretext of wanting to fight on two fronts, and advised the United States to act like this is to find death, the Russian media quoted many Russian experts as saying, basically not optimistic about the United States, thinking that the United States is bound to lose, and even one of the experts also clearly stated that the United States' two-front confrontation with China will inevitably lead to the acceleration of the real military alliance between China and Russia. So is it really a word from a Russian expert to remind the CIA director of such a rare secret visit to Russia? So this time directly to ease the US-Russia relationship?
In fact, this is not the case, because, first, when the US Sixth Fleet secretly visited Russia in the United States Burns, it sent warships to the Black Sea to conduct joint training with the NATO fleet in the black sea waters. You know, Russia is not only not good with the United States, but also has a bad relationship with NATO, and recently issued a declaration similar to the severance of diplomatic relations. In a sense, if the United States intends to use the means against China to target Russia this time, it is really miscalculation. You know, Putin is a cruel person who once said, "If there is no Russia, then what else will the world do?"
Second, I remember the last time the us C.I.A. director visited Afghanistan in secret, he talked about hoping that the full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Afghanistan could delay the deadline. At that time, Burns himself was actually related to the current family of the Argentine side, so could Russia still deal with Putin, who was born in the KGB? Moreover, Burns's last shot ended in failure, will this time be an exception?
Third, when CI.A. Director Burns visited Russia, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Ryabkov made it clear that U.S.-Russia relations are more dangerous than the Cold War crisis, because at that time, the two sides still had a series of clear frameworks and rules to maintain the situation. Moreover, the number of U.S. diplomats in Russia is now very low, not only basic diplomacy cannot be maintained, but even basic consular services, such as the issuance of visas. That is to say, in fact, Russia is not optimistic that the relations between the two countries have improved!
So the question is, what did Burns do when he visited Russia?
According to analysts speculating, Burns is not here to seek peace, but also not to fight, after all, whether it is a friend with Russia, or an enemy, for the United States, it is not worth the loss, so Burns is here to test Russia's bottom line, because only if Russia does not get mad, the United States can continue to win over Europe. Russia should also know this very well, otherwise the Russian deputy foreign minister would not have put down the very dangerous harsh words of the relations between the two countries! (Tu Su)
