You may not know that there has been a recent incident that has annoyed the United States. Just after the end of Putin's visit to China, Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan of the United Arab Emirates also flew to Moscow and had a friendly meeting with Putin. These two important countries in the Middle East and Eurasia have gone so far as to make "small moves" under the nose of the United States, making the United States feel that it has been "cuckolded."。China, on the other hand, has seized the opportunity to "mend the knife" and strengthened cooperation with the UAE in various fields, which has made the United States even more embarrassed.
What the hell is going on?Why is the UAE so close to Russia?And how did China "mend the knife"?What impact does this have on the United States?Let's take a look.
Why should the UAE "feed rat poop" to the United States?
The UAE is an important ally of the United States in the Middle East and a major oil country of the United States. However, recently, the UAE has had an unpleasant quarrel with the United States, and has even done something that is difficult for the United States to accept.
First, the UAE rejected the U.S. request and insisted on steep production cuts along with other oil producers, sending oil prices soaring and putting enormous pressure on the U.S. economy. Biden has repeatedly called on "OPEC+" to increase oil production in order to reduce oil prices, but Middle Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates have turned a deaf ear and even strengthened oil and gas cooperation with Russia and other countries, making the United States feel "betrayed".
Secondly, the UAE has become more and more close to Russia, and even stands with Russia on sensitive issues for the United States. Just after Putin's visit to China, the United Arab Emirates** flew to Moscow and had a friendly meeting with Putin. The two sides discussed the "friendly relations" between the two countries, as well as regional and international issues of common concern, including energy, the Russia-Ukraine conflict, etc. The UAE also said the trip was aimed at helping reach an "effective political solution" to the Ukraine crisis. This is undoubtedly a provocation against the United States, which has been putting pressure on Russia to stop its "aggression" against Ukraine and support Ukraine's accession to NATO. This approach by the UAE makes the United States feel that it has been "betrayed".
How did China "mend the knife"?
China is an important partner of the UAE and the largest partner of the UAE. TwoChina's cooperation in the political, economic, cultural, scientific and technological fields has deepened day by day, bringing tangible benefits to both sides. Recently, China and the UAE have strengthened cooperation under the framework of the Belt and Road Initiative, making the UAE a pioneer in the Middle East, and making the United States even more unhappy.
First, China and the UAE have made breakthroughs in cooperation in the energy sector。In September, CNPC signed a $30 billion deal with the UAE's national oil company to build the world's largest hydrogen project and the world's largest carbon capture and utilization project in the UAE. These projects will help the UAE achieve its carbon neutrality goal and will also provide clean energy to China. In addition, China has also cooperated with the UAE in nuclear energy, solar energy and other fields to jointly promote energy transition and green development.
Secondly, the cooperation between China and the UAE in the field of aerospace has also achieved significant results. In October, China and the United Arab Emirates signed a joint lunar exploration agreement to jointly carry out lunar exploration and sample return missions over the next five years. This is the first cooperation between China and the UAE in the field of space, and it is also the first cooperation between China and a Middle Eastern country. This cooperation will help improve the level of space technology of both parties and will also provide new perspectives for human exploration of space. And the United States is jealous of this, because the United States has been trying to maintain a leading position in the field of space and prevent the development of other countries.
What impact does this have on the United States?
The close ties between the UAE and Russia, as well as the deepening cooperation between China and the UAE, are undoubtedly a heavy blow to the United States. BeautyThe influence of the country in the Middle East is declining, the allies of the United States are turning away from the United States, and the competitors of the United States are rising. These changes will pose a serious threat to the strategic interests of the United States and will also have a tremendous impact on the international status of the United States.
First, America's energy security will be challenged. The United States has been dependent on oil from the Middle East** to keep its economy running. However, as Middle Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates strengthen energy cooperation with Russia, China and other countries, it will be difficult to meet the energy demand of the United States, and oil prices will continue to be **, putting heavy pressure on the American economy. The United States also faces many difficulties in its own energy production, such as environmental restrictions, high costs, and backward technology. America's energy advantage is disappearing, and America's energy competitiveness is declining.
Secondly, the geopolitical advantage of the United States will be weakened. The United States has been trying to maintain its hegemonic position in the Middle East in order to control this strategic location. However, as Middle Eastern countries such as the United Arab Emirates strengthen political, economic, and military cooperation with Russia, China, and other countries, the geopolitical advantage of the United States will be weakened. It will be difficult for the United States to maintain its influence and control in the Middle East, and it will be difficult to balance Russia and China in Eurasia. The geopolitical strategy of the United States will face major challenges, and the geopolitical position of the United States will face a huge crisis.
In the end, the international image of the United States will be damaged. The United States has always prided itself on being the leader of the world and the defender of democracy and freedom. However, a series of actions by the United States have greatly undermined the world's trust and respect for the United States. The United States' response to the pandemic, climate change, human rights issues, and other issues have disappointed and dissatisfied the world. The unilateralism, hegemonism, and interventionism of the United States have also made the world disgusted and resisted. The international image of the United States is declining, and the international reputation of the United States is declining.
Netizen's point of view: The United States is "finished".
Netizens have expressed their views on the close exchanges between the UAE and Russia, as well as the deepening cooperation between China and the UAE. Among them, a netizen's comment has attracted widespread attention, he said:
The United States is 'finished', it has lost its allies in the Middle East, and it has lost the oil of the Middle East. It is no longer able to control the situation in the Middle East, nor can it prevent change in the Middle East. It is already unable to compete with Russia and China, and it is no longer able to cooperate with Russia and China. It has been unable to maintain its international standing and its international image. It is no longer able to solve its own problems, nor can it solve the problems of the world. It is no longer able to lead the world, nor can it adapt to the world. It has been unable to change itself or others. It has been unable to save itself, nor can it save others. ”
This netizen's comment is undoubtedly an extreme ridicule and satire of the United States, as well as an extreme negation and belittlement of the United States. He used 16 "cannots" to vividly show the incompetence and powerlessness of the United States, and also showed the plight and crisis of the United States in a miserable way. He used four "alreadys" to show the irreversibility of the decline and fall of the United States, and also to show the despair and hopelessness of the United States irretrievably. He used a "finish" to show the ending and fate of the United States to the point, and also showed the defeat and destruction of the United States at a glance.
This netizen's comment also sparked a heated discussion among other netizens, some netizens agreed, some netizens expressed opposition, some netizens said they were neutral, and some netizens said it didn't matter. In short, netizens' attitudes towards the United States can be said to have their own opinions, reasons, emotions, and positions.
Conclusion: What should the United States do?
What should the United States do in the face of the close exchanges between the UAE and Russia, and the deepening cooperation between China and the UAE?Should the United States continue to insist on its hegemonism and unilateralism, or should it change its strategic thinking and behavior?Should the United States continue to confront and hostile Russia and China, or should it seek peace and cooperation?Should the United States continue to interfere in and undermine the affairs of the Middle East, or should it respect and support the development of the Middle East?Should the United States continue to be selfish and greedy, or should it be responsible and dedicated?
There is no easy answer to these questions, and there is no right answer. However, one thing is for sure, and that isThe United States must have a clear understanding of its current situation and situation, must adjust its goals and strategies, must change its attitude and behavior, must live in harmony with the world, and must make progress together with mankind. Otherwise, the United States will lose more friends and allies, will suffer more difficulties and crises, will face more challenges and threats, will move towards more isolation and decline, and will move towards more failures and perdition.
America, what are you waiting for?Hurry up!
