At present, internationally, the struggle between China and the United States is already very fierce. However, in the confrontation with China, the United States has always behaved as a very "chicken thief", and the United States itself will hardly engage in any direct confrontation with China, but will often support some agents, collect some "little brothers", let them go to confrontation with China, and "disgust" China.
In the past, in the Asia-Pacific region, U.S. proxies have always been there, such as South Korea, Japan, the Philippines and other countries. Just like the South Korean THAAD missile deployment incident, the Philippines' "South China Sea Arbitration Case" in 16 years, all of which have the shadow of the United States behind it, and Japan is even more needless to say. For example, the dispute with China for the Diaoyu Islands incident is also the behavior of the United States in "fanning the wind and lighting the ghost fire" behind it.
However, as China's influence in the Asia-Pacific region gradually expands and its national strength grows stronger, the United States increasingly feels that in the Asia-Pacific region, even if it supports more agents and collects more little brothers, it will be difficult to compete with China. Even many of the little brothers of the United States in the Asia-Pacific region have already shown signs of "anti-water".
So the United States turned its attention to Europe.
Recently, Lithuania, a European country, has been clamoring to confront China and Belarus. A small European country can actually confront China, a country that is a hundred times larger than him, and behind this is that there is no shadow of the United States, who believes it?
So what exactly did the United States do to support Lithuania? Why did he choose this country to fight the United States and Russia?
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="8" > the history of Lithuania</h1>
What is the full name of Lithuania? It is the Republic of Lithuania, which is a typical European country. He founded his country on the eastern shore of the Baltic Sea. Belarus is just to the east of Lithuania.
And Lithuania is also a country with a relatively long history. He had established a unified rule as early as 1240. At that time, Lithuania was also a very powerful country. Later, the Lithuanian nation was formed. Since then, Lithuania has taken root in the Land of Europe. Then after a series of medieval wars, Lithuania was not destroyed, and it continued to thrive on the land of Europe.
In World War I, Lithuania was first defeated by Germany, and all of its territory was occupied by Germany. After the Great War, Lithuania declared its independence and fell to the bourgeois world, forming a bourgeois republic.
During World War II, Lithuania was first occupied by Soviet troops. In 1941. War finally broke out between the Soviet Union and Germany. The Soviet Union adhered to the strategy of retreating across the board, lengthening the German front, making it difficult for them to supply and defeating themselves without a fight. A tactical retreat was made, preparing to lure the enemy deeper, thus abandoning Lithuania. This eventually led to the eventual capture of Lithuania by germany. With the continuous development of the war, the Soviet Union gradually defeated Germany, and Germany gradually retreated.
In 1944, Lithuania was again occupied by Soviet troops. Lithuania, which was occupied by the socialist countries, naturally fell to the socialist camp. The Lithuanian Soviet Republic was formed and joined the Federation of the Usser Union.
Since then, during the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, Lithuania has been in the socialist camp within the Territory of the Soviet Union. With the development of time, the performance of the Soviet Union and the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union became more and more unsuccessful, and it became more and more defeated. After Gorbachev's reforms, the Soviet Union was even more in decline, and Wang Xiao'er's New Year was worse than a year. At this moment, Lithuania saw that the Soviet Union was not in the limelight, and quickly "pulled out" and announced that it was going to become independent from the Soviet Union.
However, the Soviet Union did not want to spare Lithuania and never recognized his independence. It was not until September of '91, the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union. Only then did the Soviet Union have to recognize Lithuania's independence. Thus, Lithuania became an independent state again and joined the United Nations.
As a country dominated by plains, Lithuania has many domestic water systems, and the number of lakes in other countries is the largest in Europe. And the climate is very suitable, the oceanic climate and the continental climate dominate Lithuania in turn. And the domestic mineral resources are also very rich. For example, some geological resources, such as oil, peat, construction stone, gypsum and limestone, have a lot of stocks.
And because of its proximity to the ocean, there is a lot of precipitation, and the forests in Lithuania are also very dense. This provides a good habitat for animal habitat. It can be said that the natural resources of Lithuania are very good.
It is such a country that is rich in natural resources and has belonged to the socialist system for most of the century. It is reasonable to say that he should also read some "old feelings". Let's build a good relationship with our country. Recently, however, Lithuania has not paid any attention to the situation of the former socialist countries. A series of finger-pointing and finger-pointing at our country, especially with the support of the United States, immediately hit china's reverse scales, that is, the Taiwan issue.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="77" > "Taiwan independence" molecule Lithuania</h1>
What kind of decision did Lithuania make on the Taiwan issue? That is to allow Taiwan to set up an "office" in Lithuania.
As we all know, Taiwan is only a province of our country, and it is not qualified to formally establish diplomatic relations with other countries. The "Taiwan office" is a diplomatic institution that is one lower than the embassy, consulate and other diplomatic institutions, that is to say, if Taiwan really sets up such an "office" in Lithuania. Then it would be equivalent to Lithuania recognizing The independence of Taiwan.
As everyone knows, China has always pursued the "one-China" policy, and it is impossible to say that there may be some tolerance on other issues, but there is no room for negotiation on the issue with Taiwan. Therefore, lithuania's behavior is undoubtedly a direct tearing of the face with our country, and he has no longer recognized the principle of only one China. And at present, our country has made a series of statements, if Taiwan really succeeds in setting up this "Taiwan office" in Lithuania, then our country will withdraw its ambassador in Lithuania and break diplomatic relations with Lithuania.
However, we should think at this point that Lithuania is only a small country in Europe, with an area of only more than 60,000 square kilometers and a population of only 3 million. The total amount of GDP and so on is almost not even a fraction of our country, how dare he provoke our country's bottom line so unknowingly?
To be able to provoke our country's bottom line with such recklessness is definitely not something that he can do in a small country in Lithuania, nor is it something he dares to do, but must have the support of other countries behind it. So who is this country? In today's international situation, this answer is ready to come out, that is, the United States. After the United States saw that the Asia-Pacific region could not contain China's development momentum, south Korea, Japan, and the Philippines were simply unable to support the struggle, and it was really useless. So he turned around and set up such a disgusting opponent in Europe for our country.
Moreover, this little calculation of the United States is also very good. You are a country in East Asia that can directly influence South Korea, Japan, and the Philippines. They don't dare pluck your whiskers. This Lithuania is in Europe, you China is no matter how powerful, that is also the whip is not enough to reach the belly of the horse, it is impossible to really send troops to fight such a small country.
However, this kind of thinking of the United States is still just right, and there is really no direct military sanction between us and Lithuania.
However, if military sanctions do not work out, then it depends on other aspects.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="79" > all-round strike</h1>
How do you hit a country? It is nothing more than economic, military, political, and cultural, if you can strike a country in these four aspects, and if you can complete the blow against another country in these four aspects, then the country's life will definitely not be better.
As we all know, China is now a peace-loving country, and it is impossible for him to say that he will take the initiative to carry out any military strikes against Lithuania. But we need to know that Lithuania is just a card that the United States uses against China, so why can only the United States play cards, and we can't play cards?
Moreover, Lithuania is not only hindered by China, but china and Belarus and Russia.
You know, if according to tradition, Then Lithuania was almost the first to betray the Soviet Union, Russia can now be said to be "the son inheriting the father's business", how can Russia, which inherited most of the Soviet Union's legacy, let Lithuania go? With this mentality, Russia is very willing to give Lithuania some colors for our country.
Lithuanian President Nausseda explained the problem in an interview with him in a British media outlet a few days ago, and Belarus, which borders it, is preparing to launch a hybrid war with itself.
Why is it called mixed warfare? Because it's not just the Belarusian army, Belarus targets the illegal immigrants in Lithuania.
Of course, it's not just these people, plus Belarus and Russia are conducting a joint military exercise called "West 2021".
Isn't the western part of Belarus Lithuania? So Lithuania is now very suspicious that Russia has joined the "hybrid war" as well. This mixed war is really mixed, with not only the Belarusian and Russian armies, but also a large number of illegal immigrants. How should this be handled? Lithuania already feels very big.
Militarily, our country may not be able to directly send troops to Lithuania, but it is still possible to learn from the United States and play cards.
As for the political blow, our country is even more clear, that is, as we said before, if Taiwan really sets up an office in Lithuania, then china will absolutely break diplomatic relations with Lithuania and withdraw our embassy in Lithuania.
Alas, as soon as this statement was issued, Lithuania could not sit still. In fact, don't look at The current shouting of Lithuania to our country so loud and so fiercely, it has really broken diplomatic relations with our country, and Lithuania is also unwilling.
If nothing else, China is now almost the strongest country in international politics except for the United States. Although we are reluctant to admit it, after so many years of development, our country has gradually become the "second oldest" in this world. Good fellow, the "second oldest" in this world has broken off diplomatic relations with you, so what kind of image should you lithuania be in the eyes of other countries? What's more, who wants to really tear their faces with China?
In the game between China and the United States, these vertical and horizontal international situations are the card table, China and the United States are the people who play cards, and these countries are the cards.
No matter who loses or wins the final game, as long as the two people who play the cards do not directly clash and fight, then the two of them must be safe and sound, but who cares about the lives of those cards that are played?
Lithuania does not want to be so foolish as a victim of the Sino-US game, and itself has become cannon fodder, and perhaps no one will remember itself in the future. Therefore, The current political psychology of Lithuania is also very entangled.
Although he has almost frantically shouted at China because of the support of the United States, he really does not want to completely tear his face with China.
And just a few days ago, Lithuanian President Senauseda has already made such a statement in the interview, hoping that the Chinese side will reconsider and change the decision to recall the ambassador.
If Lithuania is really so resolute, then why are you afraid of severing diplomatic relations with our country? That is to say, Lithuania does not want to break diplomatic relations with our country, and he also wants to enter a situation where no one can be guilty at both ends, and it is best to repeatedly jump between the forces of China and the United States. Eat a wave of game dividends and get some benefits.
Tough and tough can't get up, want to be soft, the country behind you does not allow you to soften, this may be a lot of big countries in the game, those small countries as their hands of the helpless bar. But anyway, it's okay, we're big countries, we're card players, and you Lithuanian, no matter how much you want to jump over and over again, will always have to pay for your choices.
The economic sanctions are much simpler, and the vast majority of Lithuania's export trade is suitable for our country.
However, there is no need for our country to make any appeals or propaganda now. Many enterprises in our country are already reluctant to trade with Lithuania themselves. In particular, there is no longer an willingness to produce so much of what Lithuania needs.
So Lithuania. Their trade with our country has been hindered, industrial goods cannot be bought, and primary resources cannot be sold. In fact, except for China, which has recovered first during the epidemic, we can have such a large volume and can consume these industrial products and resources of Lithuania, and no country can consume these industrial products and resources of Lithuania.
In fact, if you look at it this way, we should be very confused. What exactly is the handle in Lithuania's hands in the hands of the United States? Why did The United States dare to openly tear its face with China and clamor for China at such an agitation?
Didn't they consider a way out before they "went to the line" with China? Or did the United States promise Lithuania that even if it tore its face with China, it would have enough capacity to buy their country's industrial goods and resources?
However, according to the current situation, the United States has not made any moves to buy Lithuanian industrial products and resources in large quantities. Heck, this makes us wonder if the United States promised Lithuania something before, but now it hasn't done it? Lithuania was put together by the United States and "released pigeons"?
As for culture, it's even simpler. Our country has always had the spirit of unity of purpose in the face of foreign provocations from foreign invaders. This is the national spirit with patriotism at its core. This kind of behavior in Lithuania today has aroused the anger of our people, and the reluctance of those Chinese enterprises to conduct business with Lithuania is the best manifestation. I believe that if Lithuania does not change its attitude and insists on going its own way, then its reputation in our country will only become worse and worse. In the end, in our country, he Lithuania will become a street rat, and everyone will shout and beat.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" data-track="84" > convincing people with "reason"</h1>
However, in the end, our country still has to continuously improve its own strength. The strength is enough to change all this, because he Lithuania has always been such a country, has always been a country that is facing the Qin Dynasty and has two sides and three swords.
After the First World War, the capitalist camp was strong, so he joined the capitalist camp.
After the end of world war II, the Soviet Union occupied their side, and the socialist camp of the Soviet Union was strong. Then they joined the socialist camp of the SOVIET Union.
In the 1990s, seeing that the Soviet socialist camp was "no longer able to mix" and the momentum of development was not good, they turned to declare independence and joined the capitalist camp.
This kind of repeated jumping, only interests and no faith in the country, then we can only use our strength to let him know how to choose.
Reason convinces people, whether it is reason or physics.
And Lithuanian President Nausseda, in a previous interview with a British media, has been very vocal about Lithuania is an independent sovereign country, he has the right to make his own statement in international affairs, in the dispute between Lithuania and Belarus and China, Lithuania will never take the initiative to give in. Moreover, Lithuania will do everything in its power to defend "democratic laws and Lithuanian values from attacks by China and Belarus."
But what are the facts? The fact is that before Nausseda made such a "righteous and solemn" statement, the us secretary of state, ah, the deputy permanent secretary of state Hillman, had just had a dialogue with the prime minister of Lithuania. For Lithuania, the move to allow Taiwan's Tsai Ing-wen government to open a Taiwan office in Lithuania has expressed its intention to support the United States. That is to say, Nauseda, who dares to make such a tough statement toward China directly, actually has American forces behind him to support him.
However, just after Lithuania made such a direct contempt for Chinese authority, the spokesperson of our Ministry of Foreign Affairs immediately made a harsh rebuttal to his words and deeds. It is directly pointed out that such acts of Lithuania have seriously damaged China's territorial sovereignty and territorial integrity and seriously violated the "one-China" policy. If Lithuania can defend its own principles and values, then China must also defend its own principles and values, especially in its core interests such as territorial sovereignty.
The remarks of the spokesperson of our Foreign Ministry are actually a stern warning, and the meaning of these words can already be said to be self-evident. That is, "I can go, I can go."
You Lithuania can satisfy your own values by harming China's interests, then China can also protect the territorial integrity of our Country by harming your Lithuanian interests. In other words, can our two countries completely "hurt each other"? Look at how you, a small country with a land area of only more than 60,000 square kilometers and a population of only three million, can resist our Yangyang Huaxia?
If Lithuania provokes China like this, whether it is the United States behind the command, or you Lithuania itself really can't see the situation clearly. Since you dare to provoke China on the Taiwan issue, which can be called a problem of our country's anti-scales, then you must be prepared to be "eaten back" by China after the failure of the provocation; your country would not have a backbone anyway, and anyway, your government is humiliating enough to live, so let us China help you end this shameful survival.
Moreover, the current state of Lithuania is really ridiculous enough. Even allowing Taiwan's Tsai Ing-wen government to set up a Taiwan office in Lithuania has shown a very strong supportive attitude, as if it is eager for Taiwan to send them tomorrow to hand over personnel. However, in the face of China, he repeatedly asked the Chinese side not to withdraw the ambassador and reconsider its relations with Lithuania. This is really war and no war, retreat and not retreat. I am afraid of being beaten by the United States after retreating, and I am also afraid of being beaten by China if I do not retreat.
This is really a knife to stretch the head, and it is also a knife to shrink the head. Who can blame Lithuania now? Blame only yourself for being a small country, blame only your own weak national strength, blame only how you are so "a little back", selected by the United States to fight against China, and now it is roasted on the fire.
Again, weak countries have no diplomacy, and weak countries are the cards they hold in their hands when they make any choice, whether they are willing or not, but they have to pay this heavy price.
And the only way out for Lithuania now is to immediately choose not to continue to mix with the game between China and the United States, or to quickly leave the United States and fall to China, the reason is very simple, which of the agents supported by the United States can pass the Chinese move? Don't say that you are far away from China, the United States can keep you, the United States can not even deal with the Taliban organization in Afghanistan, after fighting for twenty years, the Taliban have not understood, how can we be sure that he can protect you?
If you continue to cling to it and tie yourself to the broken ship of the United States, which is leaking everywhere, then we can only say, Lithuania, farewell!
