Hello everyone, welcome to this episode!
Under the attention of the whole world, the confrontation between the United States and Russia is escalating, and the United States is calling on its allies to encircle and suppress Russia step by step.
First of all, the tough signal from the Russian side.
According to TASS, Defense Minister of the Russian Federation Sergei Shoigu said at an expanded meeting of the ministry that the Russian army is the most combat-ready in the world today, and the Ministry of Defense will continue to advance the special military operation next year "until the task is fully completed."
It is worth noting that the main points of Shoigu's speech were also summarized, including the superiority of the Russian army and the results of the special military operation. For example, the Russian armed forces are capable of quickly and appropriately responding to the actions of any current enemy. More than 650,000 servicemen gained combat experience. Today's Russian army is the most well-trained and combat-ready in the world, with a state-of-the-art army that has been tested in real combat.
In addition, Russia's modernized equipment has withstood rigorous tests during the special military operation, and its performance is superior to that of similar equipment in NATO countries. Despite the sanctions, the Russian side produces more high-tech ** than NATO countries.
And even more critical are the results of the special military operation, 4 regions were incorporated into the territory of the Russian Federation, the area of which is more than 830,000 square kilometers. The Sea of Azov became an inland sea of Russia, a land corridor to the Crimea was opened, and railway traffic with Donbass was restored.
It can be seen that in this Russia-Ukraine conflict, although Ukraine has received the support of many countries in the United States and the West, Russia still has the upper hand, and the performance of the Russian army has also made Putin full of confidence.
Putin has made it clear that Russia will not abandon the goals of the special military operation, the Russian army has seized the initiative in the special military operation, the enemy has suffered heavy losses, and the myth of the invincibility of military equipment in Western countries has been shattered.
It has to be said that in this conflict, Ukraine has indeed paid the same price as blood, according to Shoigu, since the start of the special military operation in February last year, the Ukrainian army has more than 380,000 people**. Shoigu also said that the Ukrainian army had 15 in the ** period, which began in June this year90,000 servicemen **, the enemy suffered huge losses".
We know that Russia has always called this war a war of attrition between the United States and the West and Russia through the Ukrainian people.
There is a very important reason why Ukraine can hold out until now, and that is a lot of ** ammunition assistance from the United States and the West. It is clear that the United States wants to take the opportunity to consume Russia. But in fact, the so-called "** people" of Ukraine can be said to have paid a much greater price, and there is a popular opinion that the United States is ready to fight with Russia until only "the last Ukrainian" remains. And seeing the number of the Ukrainian army, it can't help but make people feel what it means to fight to the "last Ukrainian".
It should be pointed out that although the situation between Russia and Ukraine has taken a sharp turn for the worse, the United States and NATO still do not want to give up, and now the contradictions between Russia and the West have reached a new height of unprecedented tension.
Putin mentioned that Western countries continue to wage hybrid wars against Russia, NATO countries have recently increased their activities sharply, US troops have been transferred to the Russian border, and the number of NATO troops in Central and Eastern Europe has increased. Finland has been "dragged into" NATO, Sweden plans to join NATO, and NATO's approach to the borders with Russia has entered a new phase.
At the same time, Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu also warned that military personnel from NATO countries are directly involved in the Ukrainian crisis by directly operating air defense systems, tactical ballistic missiles and multiple launch rocket systems in Ukraine, planning military operations and training Ukrainian soldiers. In addition, 410 satellites of NATO countries serve Kyiv.
Shoigu also said that since the beginning of the special military operation, the Russian armed forces have eliminated more than 5,800 foreign mercenaries, many of whom are from NATO countries. He warned that the West's deepening involvement in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has increased the likelihood of a direct military confrontation between NATO and Russia.
From this point of view, NATO's more and more in-depth actions have aroused Russia's strong vigilance and defense, if Putin really "turns his face", then the confrontation between Russia and NATO is bound to rise to another level, and now the United States and Europe and other allies who are too busy to take care of themselves, can they really bear such consequences?
Interestingly, just as Russia was advancing strongly, the European power France made a rather intriguing statement.
We know that France, as an important ally of the United States, has always stood on the side of the United States, but recently France Macron said that once the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks, the possibility of inviting Putin to visit France is not ruled out.
According to a number of ** reports, Macron said in an interview that once the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks, he would not rule out inviting Putin to visit France in 2024 - that is, to participate in the 80th anniversary of the Normandy landings in France in 2024.
According to reports, the Normandy landings were a historic battle in the late stages of World War II. In June 1944, the Allied vanguard with the British and American troops as the main force crossed the English Channel from Britain and landed in Normandy, France, opening a second battlefield on the European continent and accelerating the demise of German fascism. TASS mentions that the last time Putin participated in the commemoration of the Normandy landings was 10 years ago, in 2014.
In fact, in recent times, Macron's "air dialogue" with Putin has attracted a lot of attention. Not long ago, Macron also said at a press conference on the sidelines of the EU summit in Brussels that he had not changed his ** number, and that he would still consider a dialogue with Russia** Putin if it helped to establish a lasting peace between Russia and Ukraine.
The day before, Putin said at the annual press conference that he had a good working relationship with Macron, and that the Russian side was willing to continue to engage with the French side, but from a certain point, France himself suspended this relationship.
It can be seen that Macron's series of actions actually have a deep meaning, in fact, after the United States has cheated Europe countless times, coupled with factors such as the current strength of the United States, it is difficult for France to say whether it is still "one heart" with the United States.
Although France now seems to be supporting Ukraine, once the Russian-Ukrainian conflict ends, the final consequence may be that Ukraine will have to bear it alone, and Macron is now saying that Putin may be invited to visit France after the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks, which may also hint at the development of the situation.
So at the moment when Putin is in high spirits, Biden is facing a completely different scene, Biden himself has encountered **annoyance, and I don't know if he can turn the tide.
As we all know, there are less than 11 months left before the United States in 2024, however, Biden's approval rating has fallen to a new low, and the latest polls conducted by multiple institutions show that Biden's approval rating in the United States has slipped to the "lowest level", and many Americans do not approve of Biden's work performance.
Some US media broke the news that Biden is currently "in a hurry".
It is reported that the results of the survey show that many respondents do not approve of Biden's work in dealing with economic issues, and 66% of respondents have a negative attitude towards the current state and prospects of the economy, which is the highest in the 17-year record of the "National Economic Survey".
It is worth mentioning that Biden's campaign team is preparing for the 2024 campaign, and they are increasingly focusing their attention on Trump, feeling that he has a good chance of becoming the Republican nominee, and Biden also warned at a campaign event about 2024 that Democrats must unite to defeat the former Trump or risk "losing democracy". "If we lose, we lose everything. ”
It can be seen that now Biden is "like a great enemy", all the grass and trees are soldiers, and Biden's own position is even more precarious, you must know that at the moment, Republican lawmakers in the United States are clamoring: "All red states remove Biden".
According to a report in the United States, Republicans recently called for Biden to be disqualified from running in some states after a Colorado court ruled that Trump was not eligible to participate in next year's election.
Sabatini, a Republican who previously served as a member of the Florida House of Representatives and is currently running for Congress, publicly stated that "Biden will be removed from the Florida ballot now."
At the same time, Texas Lieutenant Governor Patrick is also suggesting that Biden should be removed from the 2024 ballot in Texas in light of his reaction to immigration at the U.S.-Mexico border, and conservative commentator Keenan directly said that "all red states should immediately ask the court to remove Biden from the ballot." ”
I have to say that this is a big wave, and at a time when the approval rating is so low, Biden has to face so many calls for being removed, and his situation can be imagined.
As the saying goes, there is no harm if there is no comparison, at present, Russia is in the midst of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, and has been subjected to crazy sanctions by the United States and the West, and the lives of the Russian people must have been affected, but Putin is still trusted by the Russian people and his position is still stable.
This just shows that the United States always makes moves that go against the will of the people and even against the trend of world development, and will naturally be counterattacked.
