The United States is re-setting off a "new Cold War," and China cannot stand alone

The United States is re-launching a "new Cold War", the world will appear three camps, what is going on in the middle? The Eyes of the United States and the West have locked on China and Russia, Russia has been overthrown, and the next target is China.

In the mid-to-late 1940s, with the introduction of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill's "Iron Curtain Speech" and the Truman Doctrine in the United States, the world that had just ended World War II began to enter a full-scale Cold War. The Camp of Western Countries led by the United States has launched a half-world-long confrontation and competition against the socialist camp headed by the Soviet Union, and in addition to the absence of a direct military conflict, the United States and the Soviet Union have used all means to attack each other in an attempt to completely crush each other. In the end, relying on its strong strength and multiple factors such as the "Star Wars" program, the United States successfully defeated the Soviet Union, won the Cold War, became the only superpower in the world, and began more than 20 years of unilateral hegemonism. Recently, according to the Russian Satellite News Agency, the reason why India has always refused to condemn and sanction Russia is because India is unwilling to take sides, which also directly prevents the United States from re-launching the process of "new Cold War".

The remarks of the Russian media revealed two messages, first of all, India is unwilling to join the anti-Russian camp of the United States and refuses to take sides with the United States and Western countries. Second, the United States has begun to plan to set off a "new Cold War", or the United States has opened a "new Cold War". So compared with the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union in the last century, where is the new Cold War this time? I believe that the new Cold War mentioned by the Russian media is new in three aspects: a new world order, a new global pattern, and a new division of interests. In the Cold War that ended in the late 1980s, the United States relied on the Cold War not only to eliminate its greatest rival, the Soviet Union, but also to establish a single-level world dominated by the United States. However, with the continuous weakening of the United States and the rise of emerging forces such as China, Russia and the European Union, the United States has to re-launch another "Cold War" to reshuffle interests and continue to maintain the hegemony of the United States.

Analysts pointed out that unlike the "old Cold War" conducted during the confrontation between the United States and the Soviet Union, the new Cold War will divide the world into three camps: the Western camp led by the United States, the anti-hegemonic camp led by China and Russia, and the neutral camp represented by India and Brazil. Among them, the Western camp led by the United States will take the initiative to win over the forces of the neutral camps of India, Brazil and ASEAN, hoping that they can completely suppress the anti-hegemonic camp led by China and Russia, and then re-establish a new international world order dominated by western countries led by the United States. At that time, the United States can get the political and economic benefits it wants from the hands of the fallen China and Russia, and after successfully completing a wave of "growth", the United States is expected to return to the peak of the 90s of the last century, thus continuing to dominate the global political pattern and the division of interests, which can also truly realize the dream of "making the United States great again" as former US President Trump said.

However, considering that it is no longer the state of "enemy and enemy" in the 80s of the last century, there are now unclear and incessant entanglements of interests between the major camps, and the most important thing is that the so-called allies and partners will no longer work together to deal with an opponent. Because nowadays, what members of the major camps want to do is to weaken their opponents and strengthen themselves. Therefore, it is basically difficult for the United States to unite allies to relaunch a new "Cold War" between China and Russia, after all, if that scene really appears, Europe, the traditional ally, will be the first to "oppose the water". Therefore, the essence of this "new Cold War" set off by the United States is a complete "big chaos fight," and the United States will lose miserably.

First, the United States is not strong enough on its own. The main reason why the United States launched the new Cold War was to perceive the decline of its own power. As early as 2008, the United States began to decline, and an economic crisis that swept the world almost collapsed the United States. In order to maintain economic development, the United States frantically carried out the "dollar release", in a vain attempt to continue to maintain its hegemonic position through financial robbery. However, as everyone knows, the continuous "release of water" has continuously emptied the hegemonic position of the US dollar, and the international reputation rating of the US dollar is also decreasing. In addition, in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, a series of problems exposed by the United States also directly show from the side that the United States is no longer the United States that could win two local conventional wars at the same time 20 years ago.

Second, the allies are alienated from Germany. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, European countries completely lost a common adversary. While the United States has tried to reshape Russia and China as new enemies and targets for the West, the traditional European countries of France, Germany, and Italy are no longer willing to be at the disposal of the United States, believing that Europe should belong to the Europeans. In this Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the United States has made a lot of money, but European countries have suffered from the crisis of energy and food supply, not only the economy has been significantly impacted, but also the social stability of the country has been seriously affected, which has also directly made the European team begin to scatter, and it is not easy to gather again.

Second, internal contradictions are out of control. Because in the first point, it is mentioned that the United States' own strength is weakening, which also makes the contradictions that were originally covered up by prosperity and strength begin to gradually be exposed. Especially after the new crown epidemic, the US economy continued to be sluggish, coupled with the impact of factors such as supply chain crisis and inflation, the social contradictions in the United States continued to increase. The Biden administration has been unable to restore the United States to pre-epidemic levels for more than a year, which has directly led to sharper internal contradictions. Therefore, once the external pressure is too great, the United States may directly face the embarrassing situation of "backyard fire".

However, as far as the current situation is concerned, the United States, in the absence of the support of the neutral camp, will certainly unite its allies to give priority to the collapse of Russia in the Sino-Russian anti-hegemonic camp. Russia, which has only a strong strategic nuclear deterrent capability, will be easier to deal with than China, which has a stronger economy and more balanced development. When Russia needs to be completely eliminated, but only completely destroyed and left to be able to defend itself, China will become a new target for the United States and its allies. Because of this, China must also be ready to take over Russia at any time to ensure that it has enough strength to deter the United States and make it dare not come to light.
