Sooner or later, it will be paid back!
The United States, which has always pursued hegemonism and likes to move right and wrong in the international community, has long-arm jurisdiction, and of course it is no exception.
In the context of the advent of the era of the new crown epidemic and the advent of the great change, on November 25, two meaningful news came.
This time, hegemonism was once again strongly opposed, and neither Canada nor Iraq could bear it.
Let's start with Canada, America's neighbor.
On November 25, Canadian International Trade Minister Wu Fengyi issued a press briefing saying that the Canadian side was very disappointed by the US policy of imposing tariffs. The Canadian government will safeguard its economic interests and file a complaint with the World Trade Organization.
What does that mean?
1, Canada is disappointed in the United States.
The reason for the disappointment is simple, because the United States is about to raise tariffs on Canada.
Earlier on the 25th, the US Department of Commerce suddenly announced that it would impose anti-dumping and countervailing duties on Canada's four major timber exporters.
The maximum tax paid by these four Canadian companies is 29.66% and the minimum is 11.12%.
In other words, the United States raised taxes by about 17.9% on average to Canadian timber exporters.
Canada is of course disappointed by such a sudden increase in trade tariffs.
2, the Canadian side is also ready to "sue" the United States, the US Department of Commerce to the World Trade Organization.
You know, the United States is the main market for Canada's softwood exports, and 91% of the country's cork share flows into the United States.
According to relevant data, the total value of the US-Canada cork trade is 1.2 billion Canadian dollars. Now that the United States has suddenly imposed tariffs, and raised so much, it will undoubtedly double the pressure on timber exporters.
Moreover, the United States, Canada and Mexico have signed trade agreements. The US side is now blatantly ignoring the contract framework and erecting trade barriers, which will of course force Canada to find the WTO to "ask for explanations".
All in all, this trade dispute has plunged the United States and Canada into controversy. It is estimated that the Canadian prime minister is very helpless, why is the president of the United States no longer Trump, but the tariff barriers in the United States still exist?
Facts have proved that whether it is Biden or Trump, when the US economy is in crisis, what the White House can think of is to take the wool of its allies and impose trade tariffs. Under the guidance of the ideas of American hegemonism and prioritism, the White House will eventually fall into the situation of rebellion and separation.
Let's talk about Iraq, a Middle Eastern country.
On November 25, the Iraqi military publicly stated that foreign troops in Iraq would gradually withdraw from the country within 15 days, leaving only some military advisers and staff responsible for intelligence reconnaissance and teaching.
The implication is that U.S. troops are also withdrawing from Iraq. After Afghanistan, another Middle Eastern country is about to emerge from the control of Western military power.
What does this say? Let's talk about 3 points.
First, Iraqis are waking up.
After the assassination of Iranian General Suleimani by the US military in early 2020, the Iraqi government has become more and more aware that allowing US troops to stay in the country for a long time is to set themselves on fire and provide a place for the Pentagon to provoke trouble.
At the beginning, Sulaimani was assassinated by a U.S. military drone at an Iraqi airport, and the Iranian nation was enraged, and the anger almost burned to Iraq.
This is clearly a plot by the White House and the Pentagon to use Iraq as a "scapegoat" to cause instability in the Middle East.

After seeing this, the Iraqi government certainly wants U.S. troops to withdraw. The successful experience of Afghanistan seems to have provided Baghdad with the courage to drive the US troops out of their homes.
Second, U.S. military control of the Middle East is becoming weaker and weaker.
From Afghanistan to Iraq, it is not difficult to find that the United States has lost many positions. In addition, the U.S. military presence in Syria is also illegal and is not recognized by the Syrian government.
In other words, it is estimated that sooner or later the Syrians will drive out the US troops.
As the Pentagon deploys fewer and fewer militaries in the Middle East, U.S. control of the region becomes weaker and weaker.
For Russia, this may be good news.
Third, do not underestimate The ambitions of the United States.
Although the United States agreed to withdraw its troops from Iraq, the withdrawal of troops will only be deployed by the Pentagon to other, more important areas.
As far as the current situation is concerned, the "Indo-Pacific strategy" is the main policy pursued by the Biden administration.
Since the White House decided to establish the Ochus Alliance and hold military exercises with Japan and India, the United States has been ready to increase troops in the Indo-Pacific and curb China's rejuvenation.
All in all, the White House will not let go of its ambitions to dominate the world. Even if the United States is already in ruins and its hegemony is declining, the White House will struggle to stir up the world.
Finally, I can only advise the United States: Many acts of injustice will kill themselves!
The desire for hegemony is like a swamp, and the more you struggle, the deeper you fall. If the giant ship of the United States insists on sailing against the wind with a broken shell, the end can only be destruction and self-sinking.
