Wave after wave, wave after wave!
Right now, the G20 summit has just ended, and the UN climate summit has been held again. At this sensitive moment, the United States seems restless again.
On November 1, two news related to the United States came, the Pentagon was eager to move, and the situation in Asia and Europe was again turbulent.
Let's start with the first message.
On November 1, the Global Network reported that Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov and US President Joe Biden held a brief meeting during the G20 summit.
Lavrov said the conversation was "short but useful." Biden wants further engagement with Russia and greets Putin.
On the surface, the United States and Russia are at peace with each other, but in reality, the turbulent undercurrents have been surging in the Black Sea.
In an interview, the Russian foreign minister mentioned the launch of a U.S. destroyer into the Black Sea. Only To hear Lavrov respond, "We are ready to deal with any threat." Ensuring the security of Russian territory and the security of the Black Sea region does not pose any problems for Russia. ”
Lavrov's statement may reflect two points.
1, Russia is ready to "go to war". In the face of the military provocations of the United States, Russia has chosen to retaliate with tit-for-tat.
Earlier, the U.S. patrol ship "Potter", equipped with cruise missiles, sailed into the Black Sea. This is clearly reassuring Ukraine and threatening Russia on the other side.
But no threat or intimidation will work against Russia. If the United States launches missiles in the Black Sea and provokes war, Putin will certainly do his best to "friendship with the landlords" and "entertain" the US military well.
2, the Russian foreign minister was not fooled by Biden's "sugar-coated shells". Friends come with good wine, enemies come with shotguns, this is still the consistent principle of Russia.
It is clear that the PRESIDENT is using the G20 summit as his diplomatic occasion. He met with the leaders of Britain, France, and Germany in an attempt to repair his alliance, while talking to Lavrov to stabilize this tough opponent.
However, the US sanctions on Russia have not yet been lifted, and US warships often go around the Black Sea, in this context, Lavrov will be easily blinded by Biden's "rhetoric"?
So when Russia's foreign minister called the conversation with Biden "short but useful," it was perhaps out of diplomatic courtesy. And the phrase "Russia is ready to deal with any threat" may be his truest thought.
All in all, Russia will not be easily cajoled. The "wishful thinking" of the United States is afraid that this time it will fail.
Let's talk about the second message.
As we all know, during the G20 summit, the US president and the leaders of britain, France and Germany issued a joint statement.
The content of the statement is that the United States will "conditionally" return to the Iranian nuclear agreement - the White House agreed to lift the relevant sanctions against Iran, but on the condition that Tehran must fully implement the contents of the Iranian nuclear agreement and take the lead in making changes.
In yesterday's article, the author mentioned that this seems to be a compromise by the United States, but it is actually putting pressure on Iran.
The statements issued by the Four Countries of the United States, Britain, France, and Germany are not to say that the words are full of arrogance, and even the authenticity and validity of the statements are difficult to guarantee.
After all, the member states participating in the Talks on the Iranian nuclear issue are not only the four countries of the United States, Britain, France and Germany, but China and Russia are also important "witnesses" to the Iranian nuclear agreement. Can a joint statement without the participation of these two major powers be truly valid?
Sure enough, on November 1, a message about the US military was exposed, once again illustrating the ambitions of the United States.
Comprehensive US media reported that two days ago, a US B-1B strategic bomber suddenly flew over the Strait of Hormuz, the Red Sea, the Bab el-Mandeb Strait, and the Suez Canal.
During this period, Israeli and Saudi fighter jets also accompanied American strategic bombers.
Obviously, the US-Israeli military planes are flying around the Middle East Gulf, which is definitely not a sign of peace. In light of recent tensions, the United States may have 3 considerations.
First, military pressure on Iran to implement the provisions of the JCPOA as soon as possible.
At present, the Iranian nuclear negotiations have been interrupted for more than 4 months, and if the United States and Israel do not take action, I am afraid that Iran's nuclear program will be difficult to reverse.
In this context, air strikes against Syria, strategic bombers flying over the Middle East, and joint pressure from Britain, France and Germany are not excluded as warnings to Tehran.
Second, build confidence for allies in the Middle East and maintain U.S. influence and voice on the ground.
It should be known that Iran's possession of nuclear weapons will destabilize the regional situation and make other countries in the Middle East, especially Israel, Saudi Arabia and other countries, fall into the shadow of the nuclear threat.
At this time, if the United States cannot stand up to protect them in time, the influence of the White House in the Middle East will inevitably be greatly reduced.
Therefore, the US strategic bombers flying over the Middle East are not only "shining a sword" to Iran, but also appeasing Israel, Saudi Arabia and other countries.
Third, show the toughness of the United States to the outside world and revitalize the "majesty" of the Pentagon.
As we all know, after the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, the combat ability and organizational ability of the US military have been questioned. The United States is deeply caught in the vortex of "hegemonic decline."
At this time, in order to maintain the image of the hegemony of the United States and strengthen the Pentagon's deterrence to the Middle East, Biden has to be tough on Iran.
It must be admitted that the world situation has changed drastically, and there is not much time left for the United States!
