[In times of crisis, why is Putin rarely silent? The United States Senses Something Is Wrong and Demands China to Do Something Big]
As we all know, the fall of the Soviet Union, a behemoth, also brought the Cold War to an end. A large part of the "legacy" of the Soviet Union was inherited by Russia, but such a result, the Western countries are not satisfied, especially the United States, the hatred of Russia has reached a very high level. As a result, the pressure of sanctions from the West has always suppressed the Russian economy, but since Putin took office, he has led Russia out of an iron-blooded road. This has also made NATO countries more and more nervous, and the critical situation in Russia and Ukraine is also the result of these countries.
In the face of the targeting of NATO countries, Russia will naturally not back down. The threat posed by NATO's eastward expansion is unacceptable to Putin. So the deployment of heavy troops at the border and the transportation of missiles to the border is obvious, which is to make NATO countries think twice. This kind of approach, which is motivated by national security considerations, does not exist to intensify contradictions, but to make NATO countries jealous.
The reason behind Putin's silence
After all, Russia is not a soft persimmon and will not be left to be manipulated. But for now, the Biden administration has made a decision that has made the situation more tense, that is, it has rejected Russia's request that NATO not expand east. Such a decision would be tantamount to making the situation more difficult to end.
What is surprising is that Russia has indicated to the outside world that Putin will discuss with relevant officials. Putin has not made his attitude clear for a long time about the current situation, and some analysts say that there are 3 possibilities for Putin's silence in such a crisis moment. First of all, it is very likely to wait and see, after all, the United States will have an attitude for a while, while the other possibility is that Putin believes that there is no need to say more, and that all that should be said has been said to NATO countries. The final possibility is that Putin is likely to have made the next military deployment.
Ask China to do things
After all, before this, Putin had let go of tough remarks, and if NATO continued to expand eastward, Russia might take military measures, which in itself had set a tone for the situation. At this time, Russia did another big thing, reaching relevant military cooperation with Cuba, Venezuela and other three countries, which made the United States instantly embarrassed. After all, for the United States, this may affect its own national security. Under this premise, the United States senses that something is wrong and asks China to do something big, that is, it hopes that China will use diplomatic means to solve the "Ukraine problem."
In the face of such a request, Zhao Lijian, a spokesman for the mainland's Foreign Ministry, said that the settlement of the Ukrainian issue still needs to return to the origin of the new Minsk agreement. Indeed, it is true that only by resolving the issue through political consultation can the possibility of war be avoided to the greatest extent possible. It is hoped that the United States can abandon the idea of provoking disputes as soon as possible, otherwise in the end, allies will not take the position of the United States. Because in this multipolar era, cooperation and win-win are the main themes, and the Cold War mentality of the United States should have entered the "garbage heap" of history a long time ago.
