Some time ago, Zelensky went to the United States in a hurry, winning the bet that Biden was unwilling to give up Ukraine, and successfully made the United States make a series of reactions, which attracted a lot of attention. Although the United States is currently empty-pocketed and the funds for aiding Ukraine are about to run out, after Zelensky repeatedly reached out to beg for it, the United States finally chose to throw out the bait and waved the butcher's knife at its allies.
According to a number of Western media reports, the United States has recently raised the idea of the 300 billion overseas assets frozen by the Russian Central Bank, in a vain attempt to instigate allies to use the funds to aid Ukraine. Angry, the Russian side issued a warning of "severing diplomatic relations".
One of the concepts we need to clarify here is that Russia's 300 billion overseas assets are not all in the United States, but refer to the sum of Russia's overseas assets in the United States and other European countries. The United States itself accounts for only a small part of it, and the majority is basically European.
Another point is that the United States does not have many assets in Russia, and Russia has been a major investor in European countries, especially Germany and France, and it is not known how many factories they have invested in Russia.
In other words, if this money is used passively, then Russia will definitely return it in its own way and confiscate it in a reciprocal manner. Then the Americans will not be able to accompany much, and Europe will be unlucky. Let's combine it again, Blinken said some time ago that 90% of the military aid funds for Ukraine were spent on the United States. So a little conversion, can it be seen that the Americans intend to use the excuse of aiding Ukraine, and then put at least $270 billion into the pockets of the US military-industrial complex?
For a long time in the past, the harvest of Europe by the United States has been obvious to all, and there is no need to say more. The United States must have premeditated this "calculation," and perhaps it had already been calculated as early as when it had just begun to instigate Europe to freeze Russian assets. It's just that he hasn't fallen to the point where he wants to go this far, so he hasn't shown his ambition for a long time. The outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict this time must have played a large role.
Why?
We can emphasize once again that the current situation in the United States can really be said to be "imperial twilight". The United States will never be able to support two conflicts at the same time, and we have discussed it many times in many of our programs. However, in terms of geopolitical factors and the foundation of US hegemony, the United States cannot afford to lose these two conflicts. Target. Some time ago, Biden and Congress were intrigued over the issue of aid to Ukraine, and during this time, the United States suddenly formed a "joint fleet at sea" to show its tough attitude, which already explains everything.
Now the United States is shy in its pockets and wants to induce Europe to use this money, so to speak, and it has already tried to find a dagger. The idea is to invest all their limited resources in the Middle East, and the thorny issue of aid to Ukraine is thrown to Europe, so that it can replenish its own purse.
However, in my opinion, although European politicians have always shown no backbone in front of the United States, it does not mean that they are all fools. Therefore, there is a high probability that Europe will not use this fund without authorization, which is not just a question of losing money, but the consequences of which no one can predict. Europeans do not dare to offend the United States, but they are equally afraid that Putin will be provoked.
All in all, the subsequent development of this matter is difficult for anyone to predict, and they can only let the bullets fly for a while.
