As the election draws closer, the Biden administration is facing more troubles. In the United States, Biden will bear the brunt of the problem of losing his base. Because of the Palestinian-Israeli issue, the left-wing base of the Democratic Party has been seriously damaged. Beginning in late April, dozens of U.S. colleges and universities erupted in pro-Palestinian demonstrations, and U.S. police arrested a large number of protesting students.
Because of the obvious double standards on the Palestinian-Israeli issue, a large number of young left-wing voters and minorities who originally supported Biden are running for votes. According to the latest polls, in 2020, in the age range of 18 to 29 years old, Biden's approval rating was once about 24% higher than Trump's, and now the gap has been pulled to less than 10%.
The second trouble is that the Biden administration's financial policy is about to run out. The CPI continues to exceed expectations, and the inflation figure in the United States will rise to the sky, and the Democratic Party, as the ruling party, will certainly not have good fruit to eat; the interest rate hike will make the already scarce liquidity in the US market worse, and will further push up the risk of US debt explosion, leading to the acceleration of de-dollarization in various countries.
Biden
To sum up the situation of Yellen and Powell in one sentence, it is "left and right are not people". Domestic affairs are a mess, and international affairs have not developed according to Biden's script. On the issue of Russia and Ukraine, although the United States pressed the timeline of Russia's "spring and summer counteroffensive" this year, it urgently passed a 61 billion aid bill for Ukraine.
But there is a question mark over how much effect it can have. First, 23.2 billion of this money is subsidized to the Pentagon, which is essentially a right-handed capitalist money laundering magic. Another 11.3 billion is used as "operational funds" for the US military in Europe, and only 13.8 billion is allocated to Ukraine to buy equipment from American arms dealers.
However, considering the offer of $1,280 for a mug and $90,000 for a package of bushing parts, it is difficult to say how much equipment the 13.8 billion can be exchanged for and sent to the front line in eastern Ukraine. Second, the most cruel problem facing Ukraine now is not the lack of money and arms, but the rapid loss of soldiers.
Zelensky
The United States boasted that it had provided Ukraine with a long-range army tactical missile system this time, which can effectively hit the Russian army, but no matter how good the system is, someone must be able to use it. In the past six months or so, because of the delay in US and Western assistance, Russia has suppressed the Ukrainian army.
However, in order to maintain the image of a "combat hero" in the field of Western public opinion, Ukraine has been using its own heavenly spirit cover to fight Russia's mace, and the losses of front-line soldiers are extremely heavy. Zelensky has been in a hurry to issue a new mobilization decree, not only deleting the provisions on the demobilization of soldiers, but also beginning to force Ukrainian migrants who ran overseas at the beginning of the conflict to return to the front line through a series of means such as suspending passport applications and embassy services.
In this way, the Ukrainian soldiers who were caught on the front line by "catching strong men" can imagine how their combat quality and will to fight are. On the Palestinian-Israeli issue, the "turn-based" game between Iran and Israel seems to have come to an end for a short time, but it is still unclear whether a new round of conflict will be set off after Passover.
Iran and Israel
Israel has already made it clear that even if it does not strike back at Iran itself, it will wait until the end of the holiday on April 30 to take action against Gaza, and may even attack Rafah. And if the Israeli military strikes Rafah, the relationship between the United States and the Shiite powers will become more variable. To put it bluntly, Biden's domestic and foreign affairs are leaking from all sides, and no matter how much he makes up for it, he can't make up for it.
So, how do you explain this situation? Judging from the recent series of actions of the Biden administration, this group of people has invented a genius idea, which is to dump everything on China.
In the eyes of the Americans, the United States and Israel are being beaten by the arc of resistance in the Middle East because China is "secretly communicating with Iran"; the reason why the United States and Europe have not been able to crush Russia is also because China has continuously transfused Russia behind its back; inflation and interest rates in the United States have both soared because China is unwilling to obediently take over; if China spends a few trillion dollars to support Wall Street as it did back then, then the US economic situation will certainly be very good.
Blinken
This kind of thinking is a typical "instead of consuming oneself internally, it is better to consume others externally". The United States cannot be wrong, and if something goes wrong with the United States, it must be China's fault. The chicken soup on the Internet can be regarded as a group of people like Biden and Blinken who have learned it. Recently, the United States has launched a round of indiscriminate bombardment and smearing against China.
China's thriving new energy industry and semiconductor industry are "overcapacity"; China's export of civilian goods to Russia is "supporting the military industry." Blinken also recently threatened to use "Russian aid" as an excuse to deal with the Bank of China, and to isolate China, the world's second-largest economy, from the global financial system built by the United States on the dollar and SWIFT.
The Pentagon has just admitted in person not long ago that it has not found any signs of Chinese military aid to Russia. Blinken's original intention was to throw off the pot, and by the way, he made cards to concoct chips for his visit to China. But there is one thing that American politicians need to be careful about, and that is not to really mess with China.
Lukashenko
The United States must understand the consequences of exerting pressure on China to the limit. In Lukashenko's recent speech, there is a good point of view: Bringing China and Russia closer and closer is one of the biggest strategic miscalculations of the United States. At present, the conditions for further deepening cooperation between China and Russia are actually quite mature.
First, the two countries have ready-made cooperation platforms such as the SCO and BRICS, which are very convenient for dialogue and exchange. At present, China's defense minister is being invited to Kazakhstan to attend the latest SCO defense ministers' meeting.
Second, Russia's enthusiasm for cooperation is very high. Russia is being completely blocked and suppressed by the United States and the West, the financial system is sanctioned, and the United States has to take out their frozen assets to fund Ukraine, in such a situation, the most important thing Putin wants to see is to become an ally with China, the world's second largest economy. Recently, Russia has held a mining exhibition with nearly 300 Chinese companies.
The only reason to prevent the "Sino-Russian alliance" from becoming true is China's rationality and restraint. China does not want the world to follow the old path of bloc confrontation, so it strives to be a pasteur among the various forces and maintain the crumbling United Nations system, but good people should not be pointed at gunpoint.
There is one thing that American politicians must be aware of, that is, the troubled Biden does not have the cards to play the limit pressure on China. On the contrary, China is the one that has the capital to exert maximum pressure on the United States. It's just that China doesn't engage in a new Cold War and has always stuck to the bottom line.
If Biden, Blinken and the like don't see this clearly, and feel that they can put pressure on China from above, then they will only face more and more trouble. Of course, China will not ally with Russia, but if the United States goes too far, then it will be forced to fight back. China is sincere in maintaining good relations with the United States, but the "void card" will not bring better results to Blinken's visit to China, but will only make him "eat melons" in China, and the Biden administration will inevitably become a joke along with him.
