With regard to the changes in the international situation, many military experts have a rather pessimistic and negative viewpoint, and there are arguments about singing and declining, holding that there have been changes in the world today that have not been seen in a century, and that the world's three largest countries, China, the United States, and Russia, are all standing at the crossroads of history, and even if all three countries step on the brakes together, it will be difficult to prevent the outbreak of World War III.
In fact, to put it bluntly, in today's world, if the United States really wants to step on the brakes, the possibility of a large-scale war breaking out in the world is not very likely, which is a view that is generally recognized by many countries.
After all, Russia is also gradually forced by the United States to the point that there is no way out, and in the face of NATO's joint threat, it cannot escape it, and can only fight to the end, otherwise there is no way to break through this stalemate.
China's rapid development and rise, rapid development of comprehensive strength, and very strong competitiveness, which is unacceptable to the United States and other Western countries, which regard China as a competitor and an imaginary enemy.
Then, in the plan to contain China's development, it has added some more extreme plans, and even increased the deployment of weapons in China's neighborhood, using military threats to force China to slow down the pace of development.
In order to become the hegemon of the world, the United States has also tried its best, for fear that this first throne will be surpassed by powerful countries. The tension created by the United States has been turbulent and surging undercurrents, deeply disturbing the international community, and the United States has repeatedly and openly stated that there will be a war after all, which in itself is a dangerous intimidation for the world.
This is because the threat expressed by the United States to attack China by force will actually affect the entire international situation, and once a war breaks out between major powers, the scope and negative impact will be very extensive. If the United States takes a reckless step and adopts extreme and crazy means to break out into war, it will be difficult to avoid a large-scale civil war, which will trigger a large-scale conflict around the world.
And this sense of crisis, and the potential for war, is a choice and trade-off for most in the United States. Therefore, in a period of important changes that have rarely been encountered in the past century, the United States has continuously increased the deployment of regional military exercises and continuously dispatched more troops and equipment to the periphery of the mainland, resulting in a grim situation that has also made many countries secretly worried, for fear that the United States will suddenly change its face, cause serious conflicts, and then cause the originally peaceful situation to change and suddenly plunge into war.
So why are all three countries willing to hit the brakes in unison?
It is not denied that the United States has always used war to resolve contradictions and disputes through war, but which country is the object of war determines the time for the United States to think and hesitate; if it is facing such world powers as China and Russia, the United States needs to consider too many things, weigh the pros and cons, analyze the consequences that the United States can bear in the face of war, the extent of losses it will face, and so on.
In particular, although the United States is the world's most advanced and developed economic and military power, it still has various problems such as domestic inflation, financial pressure, and debt crisis.
The United States is not without its worries, and every US administration has to consider the surveillance and opportunistic attacks of its internal political party opponents, so it is not so simple for the United States to make decisions on major plans that can be decided on the spot.
Especially when faced with important decisions that may determine the fate of the United States, even if the United States is prone to extremes, it must think twice before acting. Therefore, taking into account the need to ease relations with China, it is the brake action that the United States has recently demonstrated, and US officials have visited China to discuss the possibility of cooperation between China and the United States, and have openly expressed their willingness to maintain the stability of Sino-US relations.
After all, after many attempts, American companies in many fields, including semiconductors, cannot completely get rid of China's trade assistance and can maintain multi-faceted development, the United States is also very impatient and contradictory.
Rather than easing relations with China, the United States is temporarily compromising with the law of global development and integrating global trade.
In the near future, Russia has been actively seeking the possibility of resolving the conflict between Russia and Ukraine as soon as possible, as well as the driving force of an external positive solution, and the three major countries in the world are trying to form a way to put on the brakes.
The impact of these three powers on the international situation is huge and far-reaching, and China, the United States, and Russia, all of which participated in World War II, are well aware of the terrible attrition and negative impact of large-scale wars. Probably, the United States will consider what proportion of its own suppressive superiority will be, and China and Russia will not be interested in waging and participating in a large-scale war.
Therefore, when to a certain extent, it can form a combat force that is sufficient to balance and restrain the United States, for example, the joint efforts of China and Russia can contain and deter the United States, and the United States cannot go too far, let alone directly put itself in danger, so the three major powers have a strange tacit understanding, tacitly, and on the bright side, they are maintaining a dynamic balance through confrontation.
