In this volatile international political arena, the United States, as the rotating presidency of the United Nations Security Council, assumed this important role on August 1, 2023. U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken stressed during a U.N. Security Council debate on August 3 that the U.S. will put Ukraine at the top of its agenda, despite strong opposition from Russia.
19 months have passed since the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war. Although the fighting has not been extinguished, Ukraine's offensive against Russia is not as intense as it was at the beginning of 2022. What is the reason behind this?What role did the United States play in this war?And what impact will the upcoming U.S. elections have on this conflict?
The role of the United States in the Russia-Ukraine war is highly debated. It not only instigated Ukraine to launch an attack on Russia, but also constantly sent ** and military supplies to Ukraine. While providing aid to Ukraine, the United States is also fighting Russia and is wary of China. In the process of canvassing for votes, the US candidate even did not hesitate to smear China, exerting military and economic pressure, claiming that China provided Russia with **, and considered canceling China's most-favored-nation status. In addition, the United States has also imposed multifaceted sanctions on China in an attempt to "de-risk", which is actually an attempt to "de-China".
The United States has also used China's Taiwan issue as a political bargaining chip, and Biden has provided so-called "military aid" to Taiwan twice in just two months, and its intention is self-evident. Despite Biden's international disputes, China's strength and Ukraine's decline in the Russia-Ukraine war are unconcealable facts.
To date, the United States has provided more than $10 billion to Ukraine. However, the value that the United States offers to Ukraine may far exceed this figure, and may even include more lethal values.
The United States is coming, and Biden faces a challenge from strong opponents such as Trump and Sandys. Current polls show Biden's approval rating at 43 percent, compared to Trump's 54 percent, Harris' 39 percent, and Sanderthy's 37 percent. Although Trump is currently in the lead, the outcome of *** is still uncertain.
If Trump or another candidate wins instead of Biden, Ukraine could be at risk of "running out of food". Trump, as a businessman-turned-politician, has an essential logic that is fundamentally different from Biden's. If Trump becomes the new president, he may focus on dealing with China and imposing sanctions instead of supporting Ukraine in waging war against Russia or raising tensions in China's Taiwan Strait. If Harris is elected, she may support Ukraine, but she may also initially adopt friendly gestures to avoid overly strained relations between the United States and other countries.
If Biden succeeds in re-election, he may continue to provide aid to Ukraine. However, Biden faces more problems, and there are many places where money is needed, and some problems cannot be solved by money. Therefore, whether it is ** or monetary aid, support for Ukraine is a loss-making business. Without U.S. assistance, Ukraine may find it difficult to continue fighting.
In the Russian-Ukrainian war, the gap between Ukraine and Russia is that Ukraine's advanced ** is mainly provided by the United States and other countries. The war has been going on for 19 months, and the damage in Ukraine has reached a certain level. Although the official claim is that the war is still under control and can be repaired, it will take time to repair. Russia, by contrast, does not have these worries. Russia's Lancet cruise missiles are extremely lethal and highly productive. If Russia continues to launch an offensive against Ukraine, it will be difficult for Ukraine to resist. In addition, Russia recruits 220,000 mercenaries per year, guaranteeing a sufficient number of troops, and Russia does not take the same measures as the United States to plunder overseas resources in order to keep the war going.
On the Taiwan issue, Biden has tried to use Taiwan to confront China in an attempt to plunder China's wealth to satisfy its desire to create war. However, China has made it clear that Taiwan is China's inherent territory. If someone provokes China's sovereignty, China will not hesitate to fight.
China is a peace-loving country, and the Chinese people also love peace. We do not want to see any war in the world, and we hope that all countries and peoples in the world will develop and progress together. But if someone tries to draw the flames of war to China, or even uses issues involving China's territorial sovereignty to start disputes, then the heroic Chinese People's Liberation Army and people will never sit idly by.
