Russia's military operations in Ukraine have been going on for about a week, and the outside world is paying close attention to the development of the situation; at the same time, as the protagonist of the event, the contest between the two major powers of the United States and Russia has also become the focus, leaving the world with many questions worth thinking about.
(The war between Russia and Ukraine has become more and more intense in recent days)
The most worthy of reflection is what is the end of "extreme pressure"! Over the years, Washington has advocated the advantage of "maximum pressure" as a good way to avoid "war" and achieve geopolitical goals, and has applied this approach to Iran, Russia, and China.
As a result, we also saw: the Maximum Pressure on China by the United States at the economic level was exchanged for a widening trade deficit and high inflation; the maximum pressure on Russia at the political level was exchanged for the Russian military launching a military operation in Ukraine, and Putin even ordered the Russian military strategic deterrent to enter a "special combat readiness" state on February 28.
Biden also boasted to the media the day before that "sanctions are the only option to prevent World War III", and putin directly showed off his nuclear weapons: Aren't you advocating three wars? My nuclear bombs are ready. Directly pierced Biden's soap bubble. Biden's logic is to use "extreme pressure" to prevent the war caused by "extreme pressure", of course, it cannot withstand the test of history, and it is ruthlessly overthrown by reality in just a few hours.
Reality proves that the end of "maximum pressure" is the southern wall, and no purpose can be achieved.
(Using "maximum pressure" to avoid war is a joke in itself.)
In addition, Ukraine once again used its own personal experience to prove a sentence to the world: we cannot expect too much from the United States!
Wise people have long known this truth, but there are always people who have luck, especially European countries, hoping that Biden will be different from Trump after taking office, and the result is that Biden pits again and again.
Kabul has always shown Europe how unreliable the United States is, and Biden has not even bothered to consult with european allies; now the same is true of Ukraine, the United States has successfully set the flames of war, but does not know how to extinguish it, and Europe has been coerced into a package of sanctions, even kicking some Russian banks out of "SWIFT". For Europe, it is likely to face a new round of energy crisis and inflation crisis.
(Europe sanctions Russia, russian-German relations rupture, the construction of Nord Stream II hopeless ventilation, European countries or will face an energy crisis)
Ukraine was the worst hit because the war was burning on its own territory. The Ukrainian government followed the United States in provoking Russia, especially on nato's eastward expansion; since last year, the Ukrainian armed forces have stepped up their offensive in Donbass, eventually attracting a counterattack from the Russian army.
In fact, the United States has not given much support to Ukraine, Washington's purpose is to weaken the Russian economy; support for Ukraine's weapons and equipment, but also want to drag the Russian army, but this will undoubtedly aggravate the pain of war in Ukraine. The purpose of the United States is to exchange the blood of Ukrainians for the opportunity to contain Russia; by the way, to intimidate Europe and further control Europe's politics and security.
(Ukraine is the last to lose))
For the mainland, the war in Ukraine gave us the greatest warning: Don't think too well of the United States. We used to believe that as the world's number one power and the "leading big brother" of the West, it should take into account its prestige and credibility in any case, at least superficially abide by international rules.
Unexpectedly, in order to maintain its hegemonic position, the United States did not hesitate to use all means. Today we can use the Ukraine issue to coerce Russia, tomorrow we will definitely use the Taiwan Strait issue to provoke China, and the sanctions used by the United States today are also the direction of countermeasures that we will focus on next.
With the great rejuvenation of the Chinese nation and the rise of China, it is impossible to hide his huge body in the forest; Pifu is innocent, and he is guilty! In the eyes of the West, China's prosperity and strength are the "original sin" and will inevitably be contained at any cost – we must have a sober enough understanding of this!
