3 things in the world! Conflict broke out in Lebanon, small Central Asian countries rejected the United States, and the United States was in chaos again

Hello everyone, welcome to the International Newspaper Sister!

Lebanon has erupted into one of the worst armed clashes in nearly 13 years, with the Allah Party and the U.S.-backed Lebanese government at odds with each other, killing dozens of people. Uzbekistan has coldly refused to allow the US military to enter, and in recent months, several high-level US delegations, including state department and congressional representatives, have visited Uzbekistan one after another, which seems to be a "failure of merit." At the same time, the United States is playing a "general strike", there are currently about 100,000 union workers are on strike or preparing to strike, the United States media said that workers can no longer stand it, these three messages all point to one country, that is, the United States, as the saying goes, "the world is not chaotic, the United States has the final say", is the United States really the cause of these conflicts? Let's talk today.

The first is the wave of strikes in the United States that has swept across multiple industries, and it has to be said that in the face of the terrible Biden administration, American workers have shown unprecedented solidarity. According to reports, about 100,000 union workers in the United States are currently on strike or preparing to strike, and in the last two months alone, nearly 40 factories have broken out in protest. Perhaps it is the epidemic that has exacerbated internal contradictions, so that more and more American people have begun to demonstrate to the government in this most extreme way, in addition, the US Department of Labor released the latest data for October, 4.3 million people resigned in the United States in August, a new high in 20 years, and the resignation rate has reached 2.9%, which is the highest value since statistics were available. These data are enough to show that the mood of American workers is "out of control" and spreads very quickly, covering a variety of industries such as machinery, food, medical care, entertainment and so on. Surprisingly, the US media did not even side with the government, but bluntly pointed out that the epidemic reminded workers that they risked their lives to work but could not get the corresponding return.

Want to when Biden took office shouting "The United States is back", but also gave the Americans a lot of promises, but now they have defaulted one by one, not only in the prevention and control of the epidemic, but also fell into the quagmire of the debt crisis, resulting in the current American workers working in a very dangerous epidemic environment, and life is also facing increasing inflationary pressure, according to the Wall Street Journal previously reported, the cost of living in the United States rose again in September, so that the inflation rate remained at a high level of 30 years, if serious, it may "affect" next year. It was under the impact of various pressures that the dissatisfaction of American workers with the government reached its peak, from workers on machinery and food production lines, to nurses in Massachusetts, winemakers in Kentucky, to Hollywood workers, all walks of life joined the strike tide, in this mass confrontation with the government, American society is facing great chaos and tearing.

Recently, John Deere, a large enterprise engaged in agricultural machinery and heavy equipment, more than 10,000 workers because of dissatisfaction with employment terms and wages and strikes, even the much-anticipated Hollywood union in the United States has 60,000 employees to strike, Hollywood was once a world-renowned company, and now it is inevitable to be "dragged down" by the United States, its strike may lead to the interruption of the production of many movies, TV series and streaming dramas, you know, there has never been a strike in the 128-year history of Hollywood unions. It can be seen how firm the attitude of American workers is this time. Some people commented that the strike was essentially a contradiction between the capitalists and the working class, and although "doing more and earning less" has become the norm, it is clear that the American workers have now surpassed this normalcy, that is, they have done extra much, earned extra little, and are also in danger of being infected. Although many people generally have the impression of "affluence" in the United States, there are also many low-income people in the United States. The recent series of measures by the Biden administration are not very "friendly" to this group, and Biden must think about it to solve this problem.

In fact, in the United States, the strike is not a particularly unusual thing, but the number of people involved in this time is too large, the last such a large-scale strike, or in 2007, when the General Motors workers strike triggered a national auto workers strike, it should be noted that the strike only involved the automotive industry, and no other industries participated, but now this strike wave is "unprecedented", more likely to be "absolute", whether in terms of scale or scope, it is very rare. When chaos in the United States became the norm, the power that often boasted of being the world's number one leader and leading global development was gone.

Next, let's talk about the second thing, the United States has been punched in the face, and Uzbekistan has coldly refused to allow U.S. troops to enter. The US media previously disclosed that Washington wants to reach an agreement with Tashkent on the issue of garrisoning troops in order to combat the positions of Afghan extremists, which is obviously another "anti-terrorism" cover played by the United States. However, this time the United States touched a nose of ash, and the Foreign Minister of Uzbekistan responded very coldly, saying that the United States was "not on the agenda and has not been discussed", which can be said to have left no face for the United States. In recent months, several senior US delegations, including state department and congressional representatives, have visited Uzbekistan one after another.

But now it seems to be a failure. So why is the United States eyeing here? Some people believe that since the US military has withdrawn from Afghanistan, the US military has no foothold in Central Asia, the hinterland of China and Russia, and now it is necessary to find a new target. Uzbekistan is a country with a very important geographical location, it is not only the backyard of China and Russia, but also an important bridge between East Asia and West Asia. It can be said that it is the best choice for the US military. However, the United States also forgot to consider that Uzbekistan is an ally of Russia, and it has to go through Russia to provide a base for the US military to enter.

Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov also responded to the US military's intention to set up a base in Central Asia, but the tone was still very firm, saying that "Central Asian neighbors, allies and strategic partners have confirmed that such a presence is unacceptable to them." This also shows that the United States has gradually lost trust in Central Asia, and The Central Asian countries are uniting to resist the United States, and if this development continues, the living space of the United States in Central Asia will continue to shrink." In fact, the United States should think of this before withdrawing from Afghanistan, if you do not want to give up your power in the region, you should die in this "imperial cemetery", rather than withdrawing and leaving a mess, if you make a decision to leave here, don't come back to "cause trouble", this is a binary choice, now the United States has chosen to quit, there is no regret medicine to eat.

Third, a fierce gun battle broke out in the Lebanese capital, arguably the worst conflict in nearly 13 years. Lebanon's Allah Party and its supporters were reported to have been suddenly shot, sparking a massive conflict. The scene was fierce, the two sides used AK rifles, submachine guns, machine guns and RPG rocket launchers and other light and heavy weapons, the whole process lasted for 5 hours, and finally killed 6 people and injured 30 people. Immediately after the fighting began, the Lebanese government forces issued a statement saying: "Fighters who open fire indiscriminately on the streets will be killed, and all civilians will be asked not to go to the streets." Lebanese President Michel also immediately made his attitude clear, saying that "it is unacceptable to talk with weapons again".

In fact, Lebanon is, in the final analysis, an old problem of sectarian struggle. There are now 18 sects in Lebanon, and internal contradictions are inevitable. At the heart of the conflict is the August 4, 2020 Beirut port mega-blast, which killed at least 215 people and injured thousands, and was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions in history. After the incident, the truth behind it has been concerned, because Lebanon is located in the key area of Asia, Africa and Europe, south of Israel, north of Syria, these can be said to be hot spots in the world, so Lebanon's strategic position is very dangerous, the interests of all parties are intertwined here, so behind this bombing, it is likely to be another big power game. Despite the high level of attention, no one has been held accountable for this mega-chemical explosion so far. The judge in charge of investigating the port bombings was also met with strong opposition from Lebanon's Allah Party, Allah which accused him of political bias.

It is worth mentioning that it is also since the port explosion that Lebanon has fallen into a serious political and economic crisis. This small country in the Middle East has had a really bad time in the past two years. First the economy suffered setbacks, the currency depreciated sharply, the wealth of the people shrank sharply, the unemployment rate soared, then the port explosion, the government was stubble after stubble, due to the global energy shortage, the first two days encountered fuel shortages, came a national blackout. For this riot, although the origin is the problem of sectarian struggle in Lebanon, some people in the outside world think that it is not so simple.

You know, the ambitions of the United States in the Middle East are not dead, just joined forces with Israel to strike Syria, hit Iran's communication hub, and now there is a gun battle in Lebanon, I don't know if there is a human connection between these events, and now there is a speculation that the US military is preparing to create more chaos in the Middle East, which may also be the root cause of the recent series of unexpected accidents in the Middle East.
