Wave after wave, wave after wave, seemingly calm water, but in fact it is full of undercurrents and dangerous shoals.
For the world, the only constant is change, but for the international situation with constant variables, chaos and turbulence are the eternal main themes.
On October 27, the world was still not peaceful, and there were at least 2 absurd things worth noting.
First of all, the Russian army was attacked in Syria, but there were no casualties. On the 27th, the Russian military said that while patrolling Syria, russian military vehicles were ambushed by "mysterious forces" - on the only way for the Russian army, the other side buried some improvised explosive devices in advance.
When the Russian army passed through the local area, the explosive device exploded instantly, and the Russian military vehicle was "injured" on the spot.
Fortunately, according to the Russian military, no Russian soldiers were killed or injured.
This makes people wonder: who did this? If you really want to give the Russian army a dismount, why not give it a hard hand?
There are at least 3 details worth noting.
First of all, this is not the first time that the Russian army has been attacked in Syria, in 2020, the Russian major general was bizarrely "beheaded" in Syria, and many Russian warplanes accidentally crashed in Syria. In 2021, There was also a farce of "Russian officers killed by bombing" in Syria.
Inexplicably, whether the warplane crashed or the Russian officer was "beheaded", from beginning to end, Putin did not speak out, and the Russian military did not point out the "black hand behind the scenes".
Of course, perhaps to warn the opponent, after the tragedy, the Russian army launched indiscriminate bombing of the pro-American and pro-Turkish armed forces entrenched in Syria, and it was "how to shoot how to come", completely without giving the United States and Turkey face.
Russian troops have been attacked in Syria one after another, but the Russian military's response has been silent, which is indeed very unexpected.
Second, the timing of the Russian attack was unusual. Before the Russian military vehicle was bombed, Israel airstrikes on Syria in the early morning, destroying at least 3 military targets, and earlier, the US military launched a "beheading" operation in Syria, and a leader of al-Qaida was killed.
In addition, after the bombing of the US military base, the Pentagon insisted that the layout was Iran, and the United States would never stop there.
On October 15, Turkish troops were also attacked in Syria, paying a price of 2 dead and 5 wounded.
A series of farces have occurred one after another, and it is not surprising that the Russian army has been attacked.
Finally, the U.S. response has been intriguing. Generally speaking, whenever the Russian army breaks the sand in Syria, the White House reacts by pretending to be deaf and dumb to avoid setting fire to the fire.
But this time, the U.S. military is quite high-profile in Syria. In addition to plundering Syrian oil and wheat, the United States has not forgotten to warn Iran that it must withdraw its military forces from Syria and must return to the negotiating table, otherwise the United States will turn to other positions.
Biden's move is equivalent to telling Syria and Iran, Syria or Iran, the end of the United States is to ask for trouble, take the initiative to bow its head or confront to the end, Khamenei and think twice.
At present, no matter who did this, it is most likely related to the United States, otherwise, with Russia's temper of never being willing to eat dumb losses, it will surely launch a fierce retaliation.
Besides, besides the United States, who else has the courage and strength to plot against the Russian army in the Middle East?
Let's talk about the second thing, American diplomats "fled from the battlefield."
Running amok everywhere when there is nothing to do, and using allies as a shield when there is something to do, this kind of business is not less than the Pentagon, abandoning allies and withdrawing troops from Afghanistan alone is one of the examples.
Britain, France, and Germany may not have imagined that the ability of American diplomats to "run away" is actually no worse than that of American soldiers.
On 25 October, without saying a word, the Sudanese military directly arrested Prime Minister Hamduk of the Transitional Government of Sudan, along with several ministers.
Subsequently, Burhan, chairman of the Sudanese SovereignTy Commission, declared a state of emergency in the Sudan. At the same time as the dissolution of the Sudanese Transitional Government, Burhan ordered the blockade of all access to Khartoum, the capital of the Sudan.
On the 26th, under the pressure of the United States, Britain, France and other countries, Bulhan let Hamduk return home, but his freedom was restricted.
In other words, the Sudanese military put Hamduk under house arrest.
When a large number of protesters gathered near the headquarters, the protesters clashed with the military, resulting in nearly 150 casualties.
The incident caused an uproar in the world, and for a while, major powers, including France, Britain, the United States and the United Nations, denounced the Sudanese military and stressed that Bourhan must release Hamduk.
On the 27th, the United Nations Security Council said that the Security Council will hold a closed-door meeting on the situation in Sudan.
At this moment, the United States did something that was "incomprehensible."
On the one hand, the United States has constantly denounced the Sudanese military and demanded that the Sudanese military immediately release those arrested, both inside and out that "if the Sudanese military refuses to compromise, the United States will make the military look good" means.
On the other hand, according to the signal revealed by the United States on the 27th, quietly, the US envoy to the Horn of Africa, Feltman, actually secretly left the Sudanese capital, and no one knows when Feltman left.
Don't overlook this detail, if Feltman left before Hamduk was detained by the military, it would indicate that the United States may have known that the Sudanese military was going to do it.
From this point of view, Russia's sentence that "the fate of the Sudan must be decided by the Sudanese themselves" is not out of nowhere, in the final analysis, the United States has not done less than the work of thieves shouting to catch thieves and slandering other countries.
Judging from the actions of the United States against the Sudanese military, it is clear that the White House has already had a layout, otherwise it would not have been possible to do so.
If nothing else, the United States will soon intervene strongly in the situation in Sudan, after all, Sudan is next to the Red Sea, and the Red Sea connects the Mediterranean Sea and the Arabian Sea.
Of course, regardless of whether the United States has ulterior motives or not, the "escape from the battlefield" of American diplomats is an indisputable fact, which is very different from the United States' act of "awe-inspiring righteousness" on behalf of the Sudanese people.
Somehow, I thought that the United States was involved in the Sudanese coup.
It is the fox that will eventually show its tail, and see how the United States lays out next.
