On February 24, the Russian-Ukrainian war broke out. War is brutal, and people are constantly falling in pools of blood. In 1998, the United States led the air strike on the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, and in 2022, Russia sent troops to Ukraine according to the Model of the United States.
As a result, the global stock market fluctuated violently.
On February 24, there were two places in the world that shook violently, one was the Battlefield of Ukraine, where real guns were fired; and the other was the global stock market, which lost real money and silver. At the beginning of the war, the global stock market fell sharply, the domestic green oil, the foreign red tongtong, almost all the stocks were cut off, the wealth in their hands shrank sharply, and they returned to the pre-liberation period overnight. There were exceptions, the Nasdaq opened, down 3.45%; but by the close, it was up 3.34%, and the US stock market was reveling. For days, the global market has jumped up and down. In the era of global capitalization, the effects of war are not spared. Some people are afraid in greed, some people are greedy in fear.
The second consequence is that international oil prices have soared, further exacerbating global inflation.
After 7 years, the international oil price has broken through 100 US dollars / barrel, and the domestic gasoline price has risen for 5 consecutive years, and it is not impossible to break through the 10 yuan / liter mark according to the trend.
Now Putin has at least two cards in his hand, one is nuclear weapons, which is what the United States and his little brothers are most afraid of, the fighting nation is not in vain, Putin has said "without Russia, what do you want the world to do?" This is not a joke, it is to eat the West does not dare to send troops, directly tearing the face with Russia; the other is oil, after all, Russia is a big energy exporter, sanctions on Russia will reduce oil supply, push up international oil prices, further exacerbate global inflation, the most unfortunate is the oil consumer. If the war continues, driven by oil prices, the prices of commodities and raw materials will also rise, production costs will rise, and prices will soar.
The third consequence is that The geopolitics of Europe has changed radically.
The Russo-Ukrainian war has caused panic among Eastern European countries that have not yet joined NATO, and it is not excluded that Finland and Sweden will join NATO in the future, and it is not excluded that countries close to Russia, including Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland and Romania, will demand that NATO troops be stationed to protect their territory from aggression. This will lead to closer or even closer contact between the spheres of influence of Russia and NATO, the disappearance of the buffer zone of military conflict, and the occurrence of events similar to the "Cuban Missile Crisis of 1962", making the whole world once again face the danger of nuclear war. In the short term, Russia is currently the biggest enemy of the West, including the United States, but with the progress of war and negotiations, it is not ruled out that Ukraine will be sacrificed in exchange for a strategic balance with Russia, so as to adjust the target against our country again.
Fourth, contradictions between Europe and the United States will eventually break out.
This Russian-Ukrainian war, there are subtle differences in the attitude of the United States and Europe, the United States and Britain tried their best to fan the wind and ignite, and gave money and things, almost their own play, the European Union has been divided, most of them follow the United States and Britain to wave the flag, but as the leader of Germany and France really do not want Russia and Ukraine to go to war, a war, Europe is in a hurry, the United States will be the first choice for the transfer of European capital, the biggest beneficiary of the war is the United States, there is no benefit to the entire European Union, this German and French know it, but the arm can not twist the thigh, now it seems to be a monolith. But in the end, contradictions will surely break out.
