With the strong rise of China, it has seriously threatened the United States' position as the world's first, and the competition between China and the United States is becoming increasingly fierce, many people think that the United States will unite with Russia to balance China, but with the outbreak and continuation of the Russian-Ukrainian war, the United States Biden's diplomatic strategy is becoming clearer and clearer, that is, to pressure Russia to contain Europe, rather than to unite Russia to control China. What is the reason for the United States to choose such a diplomatic strategy, this article will try to dismantle it!
First, the geographical location determines that the United States will choose a region in Eurasia to establish its own basic territory
If you want to maintain world hegemony, the United States must do two things, one is to firmly control the global maritime hegemony through a powerful aircraft carrier fleet, which the United States has basically done, and the other is to control the hegemony on the road, if you want to control the Eurasian continent, the United States must choose a region in Eurasia to establish a basic disk, Russia cannot be controlled by the United States, and China cannot be controlled by the United States, then, there is only one optimal solution left, that is, the European Union, in fact, after World War II, the European Union has indeed long been reduced to a vassal of the United States。
2. How the United States controls the European Union
The United States chose the European Union as the basic territory of the United States in Eurasia, and the three main countries of the European Union are Britain, France, and Germany. If you want the EU to remain a vassal of the United States, then you must not make the EU strong, the basis of the EU's strength is to rely on high-end manufacturing of low-cost energy from Russia, so cutting off the ties between the EU and Russia, and putting the EU and Russia on opposite sides, is the best diplomatic strategy to control the EU. Speaking of which, the root cause of the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian war has been found, that is, suppressing Russia and balancing the European Union, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
IIIWhy should the United States suppress Russia
The struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union has made the grudge between the United States and Russia for a long time, and Biden has always regarded Russia as his biggest enemy, which is a historical reason. Another more important reason is that if Russia and the EU are not suppressed, let Russia and the EU come together, once Russia and the EU join forces, with Russia's military and resources, plus the EU's economy, then the United States will give birth to a more terrible competitor, suppressing Russia, preventing Russia and the EU from coming together is imperative, therefore, the United States braved the world's condemnation to blow up the Nord Stream pipelines, so that the cooperation between the EU and Russia was completely broken.
Fourth, why does the United States not join forces with Russia to control China?
Biden of the United States has successfully achieved the goal of suppressing Russia and containing Europe through the Russian-Ukrainian war and blowing up the Nord Stream pipelines, which is also the main reason why the United Russia system cannot be united, because the premise of the United Russia system is United Russia, once the United States unites Russia, the European Union will also follow United Russia, which the United States does not want to see. As long as there are no large-scale conflicts and wars between the United States and China, and the United States takes the European Union as its basic plate, then the United States' world hegemony can be maintained for a period of time, thus ensuring that the United States will not quickly move from prosperity to decline.
5. Summary
To sum up, the diplomatic strategy adopted by Biden of the United States to suppress Russia and contain Europe instead of the United Russia system is an inevitable product of geopolitics and history, which can allow the United States to firmly control the basic European Union and achieve checks and balances and control over the entire Eurasian continent, so as to ensure that the United States will not go from prosperity to decline in a short period of time, and the world hegemony of the United States will be maintained for a period of time!
