After World War II, the United States has been acting as the "world's policeman." Previously, the economic strength, military strength, and scientific and technological strength of the United States were outstanding, so all countries did not dare to provoke the United States, but now the situation is different. The bipolar world has ended, the multipolar world has begun, China has become the largest developing country, Russia's economy has also come out of the passive situation, more and more countries dare to resist US oppression, and the European allies of the United States have also changed their minds.
The United States is not self-aware
The influence of the United States is getting smaller and smaller, and in addition to the changes in the world situation, it is also related to some wrong decisions of the US government. The US government has not abandoned the Cold War mentality, and still thinks that it is a powerful country, so it still wants to give arbitrary orders to other countries.
In fact, more than 10 U.S. aircraft carriers have begun to age, some of which have been in service for decades, becoming old-fashioned, and their combat capabilities are worrying, while the U.S. economy is also declining. The U.S. space shuttle is no longer in the sky, and the International Space Station, which is now operating in space, relies on Russian spacecraft to provide support and russia to provide space engines.
Unexpectedly, the United States still did not recognize itself, still provoked disputes around the world, and even wanted to expand NATO eastward to russia's borders. You know, nato was established to deal with Russia, and now it is necessary to set up a position on Russia's doorstep, how can Russia accept it. The emergence of conflict situations is therefore inevitable.
Ukraine was hit by war
Because Ukraine played a certain role in NATO's 6th Eastward Expansion, Russia launched military operations against Ukraine to make it a neutral country. After that, Russia and the Western countries led by the United States launched a "scramble" for Ukraine.
Russia's destruction of Ukraine's military infrastructure, its control of the eastern region, its occupation of the abandoned Cherberino and Zaporizhia nuclear power plants, and its siege of Kiev were all aimed at bringing Ukraine to its knees and agreeing to the Russian proposals. But the West cannot allow this to happen, just as Russia cannot allow Ukraine to become a member of NATO.
Therefore, in addition to providing weapons and equipment to the Ukrainian army, Western countries have also imposed large-scale economic sanctions on Russia. Unexpectedly, after this kind of economic sanctions had a certain impact on Russia, it was the turn of the United States to feel uncomfortable.
The International Space Station is crumbling
Oil and gas prices in the United States continue to rise, beyond the consumption capacity of the average person. At the same time, Russia launched counter-sanctions against the United States, nasa on the list, the United States aviation business can no longer get Russian engines.
In addition, due to the sanctions imposed on Russia, Russia will no longer provide funds for the maintenance of the International Space Station. The United States, on its own, simply could not afford the cost, and as a result, NASA bowed to Russia, saying that the sanctions would not involve the aviation sector.
If the International Space Station is not maintained, it may fall at any time, and the 500-ton behemoth is likely to fall in Europe and the United States.
The United States cannot give up its leading position in the field of spaceflight, but the six space shuttles originally built have become scrap copper and rotten iron. It is impossible for the United States to rebuild a new space shuttle, because the real capabilities of those space shuttles are completely inconsistent with the original manufacturer's propaganda, and the flight and daily maintenance costs are extremely high that the United States cannot afford it. The United States needs to rely on the Russian-backed International Space Station at this stage.
At the same time, the United States made two preparations. Since 2010, it has been agreed to Musk to build a spacecraft, what the US government did not expect is that after the Russian supply cut, Musk sat on the ground, Musk's spacecraft flew 300 million times, and NASA was very painful, which is not the main problem. Musk's spacecraft is not comfortable to sit on, which means that its construction level is too far from the original SPACE SHUTTLE of the United States and the current International Space Station.
