The United States has always had territorial expansion ambitions, from the historical westward expansion movement1 to the modern eastward expansion of NATO, the United States has constantly challenged international law and international order in an attempt to expand its sphere of influence to the whole world. Recently, the United States suddenly and unilaterally announced the expansion of its territorial claims to the Arctic region and the Bering Sea, covering a total area of more than 1 million square kilometers. The move provoked a backlash from Russia and put America's allies in a dilemma. What is the purpose of the territorial expansion of the United States?
The motive of US territorial expansion: the embodiment of hegemonism
The territorial expansion of the United States is nothing more than to maintain and strengthen its hegemonic position and to obtain more resources and interests. The United States has always regarded the Arctic region and the Bering Sea as its "backyard" and has tried to incorporate them into its national security strategy. The United States believes that these regions are rich in oil, natural gas, minerals and other resources, as well as important shipping and military value. The United States hopes to exclude competition and interference from other countries by expanding its territorial claims to these regions, thereby ensuring its own advantages and interests in these regions.
The territorial expansion of the United States is also aimed at countering and containing Russia's influence. The United States has always seen Russia as its main competitor and threat, especially in Eurasia. Through NATO's eastward expansion, the United States has extended its military presence and alliance relations to Russia's periphery, trying to encircle and isolate Russia. The U.S. territorial sovereignty claims in the Arctic region and the Bering Sea are also provocations and challenges to Russia, with the intention of weakening Russia's legitimate rights and interests and dominance in these regions.
The impact of U.S. territorial expansion: The crisis intensifies, and allies suffer
The territorial expansion of the United States has not only intensified the confrontation and conflict between the United States and Russia, but has also brought a huge threat to world peace and stability. The territorial sovereignty claim of the United States violates the principles of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea and international law, and ignores the legitimate demands and interests of other countries. The territorial expansion of the United States could trigger a new Cold War, or even lead to a full-scale war.
America's allies, especially Canada and Japan, are also in trouble because of the territorial expansion of the United States. Both Canada and Japan have territorial disputes with the United States, and the territorial expansion of the United States is undoubtedly a provocation and violation of them. Canada and Japan, as allies of the United States, have to choose between the United States and Russia, taking into account both their own interests and American pressure, which puts them in an extremely awkward and dangerous position.
The territorial expansion of the United States has also triggered a backlash and resistance from other countries. China, India, Pakistan and other countries have all made clear their opposition to US territorial expansion, supported Russia's position, and called for resolving disputes through dialogue and negotiations. These countries believe that the territorial expansion of the United States is a violation of international law and order, a threat to world peace and security, and a damage to the common interests of mankind. These countries have also expressed their own independent foreign policy, are not subject to coercion and pressure from the United States, and oppose the groundless accusations and suspicions of the United States.
The consequences of U.S. territorial expansion: isolation, self-defeat
In the end, the territorial expansion of the United States will only lead the United States into a situation of isolation and helplessness, and it will reap the consequences. The territorial expansion of the United States has not only not won the support and approval of any country, but has instead attracted opposition and condemnation from all over the world. The territorial expansion of the United States has not brought any substantial benefits to the United States, but has made the United States pay a huge price.
The territorial expansion of the United States has not only damaged the international image and credibility of the United States, but also weakened the national security and economic strength of the United States. The territorial expansion of the United States has not only lost its allies and friends, but also increased its enemies and adversaries. The territorial expansion of the United States has not only provoked a new Cold War between the United States and Russia, but also triggered new alliances with other countries. The territorial expansion of the United States will only end up plunging the United States into an unmanageable situation and digging its own grave.
epilogue
The territorial expansion of the United States is an act without reason, morality, or morality, a war with no winners, no future, and no way out, and a disaster without reason, conscience, or humanity. The territorial expansion of the United States is not only a provocation and aggression against Russia, but also a challenge and threat to the world, as well as an injury and destruction to itself.
The territorial expansion of the United States must be stopped immediately, the United States must respect international law and international order, the United States must coexist peacefully with other countries, and the United States must take responsibility for its mistakes. We call on the United States to put aside its hegemonist shelf, return to the table of dialogue and negotiation, and work with Russia and other countries to maintain peace and stability and build harmony and prosperity.
