Ukraine ** Zelensky to the United States, which is about to cut offMilitaryExpressing concern, he used a clever trick to put pressure on the United States, promising that the United States would not betray Ukraine. He warned that if the United States did not provide assistance, it would be tantamount to betraying Ukraine. However, judging by the previous rhetoric and statements of the United States on Ukraine, the American oath and rock-solid commitment is actually a joke. The tricks of the Ukrainian ** are clever, but in the face of the pragmatic position of the United States, it is quite possible that it will not help.
Moreover, the U.S. response was also clever, and they responded in a way that fully took into account the position of Congress. Congress has said it will not provide assistance, even if it is inclined to do so. This is because in the U.S. decision-making body, Congress has a lot of influence over national policy. UkraineMilitaryAid has been blocked several times in Congress, and large sums of money promised by Biden have been cut. This is not a big problem for the United States, which is not going to change its position in order to maintain so-called "moral standards". For the United States, strategic interests are the most important, and they do not take the "moral kidnapping" of any country to heart.
From the history of the United States, the betrayal and abandonment of their allies is almost commonplace. The so-called "moral standards" and "face standards" have no value in front of the United States. If Ukraine repeatedly allows the United States to betray itself and let the United States lose its trust in the world, it can only be regarded as a naïve fantasy. The United States does not care which country makes them lose face in order to safeguard their strategic interests, they only care about which country will cause them trouble. Once the strategic interests of the United States are realized, the strategic interests of other countries have almost no value in front of them. The U.S. will squeeze even the last drop of water out of its allies, which has happened many times in past history, whether it's South VietnamKurdishOr Afghanistan, now it's Ukraine's turn.
The Philippines is also currently in a difficult situation. Previously, the Philippines relied on the United StatesMilitaryCooperation has been quite strong on the South China Sea issue, with many provocative actions. However, with the transfer of US ships to the Middle East, the Philippines began to soften its attitude and took the initiative to ask for dialogue with China. In the global strategy of the United States, countries have different hierarchies. These countries may dream of becoming pawns of the United States in order to become rich and prosperous for a lifetime, but this is not possible at present. The United States can influence the fate of a country for its own strategic interests, but it is simply impossible to maintain a strategic alliance with the United States for a long time. The interests of the United States are changing dramatically at every moment, and the United States will not pay much if it is based only on short-term benefits. These countries must conduct an in-depth analysis of the strategic layout and interests of the United States, and consider what kind of contribution they themselves can make to the United States. Because once the United States squeezes the best interests, you will go from being seen as a valuable pawn to an abandoned outcast. This is a commonplace thing in the United States.
In the strategic interests of the United States, no one can be considered family forever, and every country can be abandoned. The United States believes that pawns that have no value are doomed to be quickly eliminated. This rule has never changed from the past to the present. The relationship between the United States and the chess pieces is really only a piece of paper away. Neither Ukraine nor the Philippines should be overly conceited under the protection of the United States, because if they become too arrogant, they may face extremely painful consequences. The United States will not hesitate to abandon them, and this is closely related to their strategic interests. Whether it's Ukraine or the Philippines, if they see themselves as part of the big coalition of the United States, then they are absolutely wrong. In the face of American interests, they are only a small player on the chessboard, which can be sacrificed at any time. This is the practice of the United States and the end of their strategic interests.
In the face of the imminent cut-off of the flow of the United States against UkraineMilitaryAt the time of the aid, the Ukrainian ** Zelensky tried to guarantee that the United States would not betray Ukraine by putting pressure on the United States. However, the pragmatic stance of the United States tells us that they value their own interests rather than morality and commitment. For countries such as Ukraine and the Philippines, the establishment of strategic relations with the United States is only temporary, and they risk being abandoned once American interests change. Therefore, these countries should not hope for the protection of the United States, but should consider what kind of contribution they can make to it in cooperation with the United States in order to avoid becoming outcasts of the United States. This situation is also a warning to other countries, inInternationalIn our exchanges, we should remain vigilant and not blindly follow the big powers, but should adhere to the principle of independence and self-determination and strive for the greatest space for our own interests.
