Today's United States is in an unprecedented crisis, the most obvious is the ravages of the new crown virus epidemic, so far more than 62 million people in the United States have been confirmed to be infected with the new crown virus, and there are also more than 1 million infections from time to time, the epidemic is like a bow flood in the United States continues to spread, when the United States did not have too many countermeasures, but let the epidemic rage. U.S. President Joe Biden has publicly stated that the United States will not adopt a lockdown to control social distancing, but instead encourages the American people to be vaccinated against the new crown virus, including vaccinations. The United States not only has the epidemic raging, but also the problem of inflation, and the US economy has not recovered at the expected rate.
According to US media reports, the US State Department has publicly stated that China's claim to the South China Sea is illegal, and the United States does not recognize China's claim to the 12-nautical-mile territorial waters of islands and reefs. 202201193/ Global Defense Watch / Ali, in 2021 the US State Department publicly clamored for China to abide by the illegal "South China Sea Arbitration Tribunal" resolution, in recent years, the United States has continuously launched provocations on the South China Sea issue, in addition to the United States denying China's South China Sea claims, but also actively attracting other South China Sea related countries to confront China, the purpose of the United States is very direct, that is, to use the South China Sea issue to contain China's development.
When the U.S. State Department provoked China's South China Sea claims, the U.S. Navy dispatched the USS Carl Vinson and the USS Essex amphibious assault group to break into the South China Sea and carry out joint operations in the South China Sea, and in early 2022, the U.S. Navy showed its muscles on the doorstep of China. According to the data held by global defense watch, since 2021, the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier has broken into the South China Sea for the fourth time, according to public information, this time the Carl Vinson aircraft carrier entered the South China Sea from the Palawan Strait, and the US Navy did not enter the South China Sea from the Bashi Strait in order to avoid the tracking of the PLA, highlighting the new tactics of the US Navy.
The United States has not only launched provocations against China, but also aggressively against Russia, according to the news released by the American media, the United States has issued a threat to impose sanctions on senior Russian officials, including Russian President Vladimir Putin. As far as the United States clamored to sanction Russian President Vladimir Putin, Russia has publicly stated that if it sanctions the fuehrer, it is equivalent to severing relations. The United States threatened to sanction Putin after the United States and Russia held negotiations, recently Russia and the United States, NATO and the OSCE negotiations, the Attitude of the United States is very tough, the United States and NATO have promised not to expand NATO eastward, Russia is drawing a red line, not allowing NATO to expand east.
The confrontation between the United States and Russia is a norm, after the change of weather in Germany, Germany announced the suspension of the "Nord Stream 2" natural gas pipeline project, and now the United States is going to impose sanctions on Russia, which shows that the United States is constantly squeezing Russia's living space. After the end of the Cold War, NATO expanded eastward, and now NATO has 30 members, and Ukraine is also actively demanding to join NATO, so Russia is constantly threatening. At the same time as Russia issued threats, the United States has repeatedly stated that if Russia "invades" Ukraine, the United States will sanction Russia, and NATO's eastward expansion and the Ukrainian issue have become a dead end in US-Russian relations.
Today's US President Biden is not stopping, the United States provokes China and Russia at the same time, in fact, the United States is humiliating itself, because today's United States is no longer "like the sun in the sky".
