Leo Tolstoy said in War and Peace: The cause of historical events is the sum of all causes, which is the only cause. Up to now, the number of sanctions launched by European and American countries against Russia has reached 5532, far exceeding Iran, Syria and other countries. But the U.S. sanctions tactics have been exhausted, and it has not stopped Russia from controlling the situation in Ukraine. American writer Faried Zakaria has publicly stated that the Ukraine crisis was a seismic-magnitude event that changed the world pattern and became the most important event in international relations since the fall of the Berlin Wall. Zakaria believes that the Ukraine crisis marks the end of the era of US hegemony and the beginning of the post-American era. After 18 days of fighting and gaming, Russia not only won the initiative in the battlefield situation, but withstood the crazy sanctions of the United States and its allies and began to fight back. Europe began to be unable to hold on, Ukraine's neighbors began to hold out, the internal pressure on the United States also increased greatly, and the situation began to change unexpectedly.
Against the backdrop of unexpected changes in the situation, Ukraine may be abandoned by the West. Spain's Newspaper Insurrection published a public article on March 11 stating that we will pay the price of unnecessary confrontation with Russia for the decline of the United States. Insisting on joining the European Union and NATO is Ukraine's sadness, and Ukraine should pay for its mistakes, but it is not right for all Europeans to pay for it. The article pointed out that while the United States is nervously finding itself losing its hegemonic position in the world chess game, the European Union is still following it with a dead heart, and the United States is shifting the pressure on itself to the European Union through the dying NATO. Europe follows the United States in imposing sanctions on Russia, but from the perspective of consequences, Europe becomes the payer, and Europe may become a "tribute" to the United States. Ukraine will become a bankrupt partner of the EU and will bring disaster to the EU.
There is no doubt that Ukraine has now become a symbol of disaster in the eyes of Europe, and Europe is ready to abandon its children. British "Guardian" news on the 13th Moldovan Foreign Minister Niku Popescu very seriously warned that Ukrainian refugees have reached the limit of the country's bearing, and immediately can not bear. Equally unbearable is Poland, where more than 1 million refugees have poured into Poland, putting the country under unprecedented pressure. Ukraine's neighbors, such as Romania, Moldova, Hungary and Slovakia, are also reportedly on the verge of collapse, facing a flood of refugees. Germany, the Czech Republic, Austria and other countries are also worried about the increasingly severe refugee flows. Although Ukraine is still applying to join the European Union, the whole of Europe is beginning to see Ukraine as a huge burden. The refugee crisis, economic crisis, social security crisis and other comprehensive impact on Europe, it can be said that abandoning Ukraine to safeguard Europe's interests is the current common voice of Europe. The Russian-Ukrainian peace talks reached an important consensus, which is also a signal that the United States and Europe want to abandon their sons, which is a decent outcast.
The tragedy of Ukraine is that there is a problem with the way the state is generated. Together with foreign capital, ukraine's domestic ruling class draws political and economic benefits from torn societies and conflicts of all kinds, with no regard for the interests of the Ukrainian people. It can be said that the tragedy of Ukraine lies in the fact that the Ukrainian oligarchs have embarked on the path of abandoning the national interest in order to seize wealth. It was precisely because of the conflict between the Ukrainian oligarchs that the United States found an opportunity, firmly controlled Ukraine, and built Ukraine into a pawn against Russia. In fact, whether politically, economically, or otherwise, Ukraine is not a core interest of the United States and Europe. Europe, kidnapped by ukraine by the United States in the shackles of political correctness, has fallen victim to the crisis and now has the strongest desire to abandon Ukraine. Ukraine's economy is paralyzed, with little sign of recovery, and will be followed by a Syrian-style scuffle that will become a lasting burden on Europe.
Zelenskiy is still complaining that the United States and Europe and other West abandoned Ukraine, in fact, Europe has long wanted to abandon Ukraine, but under the pressure of the United States, it does not want to abandon it for the time being. Not only in Europe, but also in the United States, pressures within the United States have multiplied. "USA Today" published an article saying that the Chinese government wantonly sanctions other countries and harms others and harms themselves. U.S. Rep. Corremons of Michigan issued an open letter on the 9th accusing the government of all decisions to sanction other countries based on military considerations and benefiting arms companies, but completely disregarding the interests of the American people. The American media and experts also accused Zelenskiy of packaging himself as a hero, but it made the United States and Europe pay a heavy price. The New York Times, Fox News and other American media also pointed out that the United States is not worthy of confronting Russia for Ukraine and sanctioning Russia in all aspects, because most of the consequences are paid by ordinary Americans. The Wall Street Journal in the United States publicly pointed out that "Biden personally vetoed the proposal to hand over fighters to Ukraine, so as not to anger Putin and lead to the escalation of the war." ”
After the US government exhausted its tricks, it began to feel the huge pressure at home, and the worsening inflation needed to be paid by ordinary people, but only the US arms dealers and Wall Street elites were making money. The United States does not dare to offend Russia, the most fundamental thing is that Ukraine is not the core interest of the United States, the United States just wants to use Ukraine to achieve its own goals. The US sanctions against Russia have encountered great internal pressure, which is actually a manifestation of the awakening of ordinary people, because a large number of ordinary Americans are suffering the consequences. The bottomless sanctions imposed by the United States on Russia will trigger three major crises, one is that soaring food prices have led to a large number of residents falling into hunger; the other is to endanger the stability of global financial markets; and the third is to exacerbate the energy and world economic crisis. At present, a large number of scholars and media in the United States have begun to reflect on the Ukrainian crisis, publicly condemn the us government's approach, and point out that the United States should not pay such a big price for Ukraine. The introspection of American scholars is also based on the consideration of the actual interests of the United States, because this may directly lead to the end of US hegemony.
Turkey has publicly shelled the United States, denouncing U.S. and NATO sanctions against Russia as fascist practices. Israel has publicly said no to the United States, refused to follow the United States in sanctioning Russia, and refused to describe Russia's actions as aggression. India has publicly rejected U.S. demands to sanction Russia, insisting on using the ruble to trade with Russia. Germany, France, Bulgaria, Italy, Poland, Hungary and other European countries have also openly said no to the United States and refused to cooperate with the United States in imposing sanctions on Russian oil. Japan has also refused to cooperate with U.S. sanctions on Russian oil and gas, claiming that this will cause Japan to suffer unbearable losses. Meanwhile, at about two o'clock in the morning of March 13, 10 short-range missiles suddenly attacked the vicinity of the U.S. embassy and consulate in Erbil, Iraq's Kurdish district, heralding the beginning of a whirlpool of attacks. The fact that a close ally of the United States says no to the United States shows that in the farce of suicide sanctions, the Western countries are almost unable to hold on.
Of course, this also shows that the signal of the end of US hegemony has emerged. If you enter, you can't be a home, and if you go out, you are invincible to foreign patients, and the country will die forever, and then you will die in peace and happiness. The United States has made trouble and sabotage around the world, especially this time by taking the initiative to ignite the flames of war, so that the world can clearly understand the truth of the "freedom of speech" of the United States, the truth of the "borderless" of the United States, the truth of the "spirit of contract" of the United States, and the truth of the "advanced system" of the United States. Although the United States has reaped short-term benefits, it has overdrawn its credibility and shaken the foundation of hegemony. The united states ignited the war in Ukraine this time, so that Russia and other countries in the world no longer have illusions about the United States, which will also accelerate the decline of the United States. It is foreseeable that the entire West, after the sanctions carnival, began to feel the tremendous pain caused by the sanctions, and the whole West was almost unable to bear it. Abandoning Ukraine has begun to become a Western consensus, and a large number of media such as the United States and Europe have begun to create public opinion, which is actually preparing for the abandonment of Zelenskiy and the abandonment of Ukraine.
