It is no secret that Russia has always had a powerful armed force and is capable of a head-on confrontation with the United States in terms of nuclear arsenal stocks. Recently, Putin issued a conscription and mobilization order aimed at safeguarding and safeguarding Russia's strategic interests. According to the latest figures, nearly 500,000 volunteers have responded to the call, and a large number of men continue to sign up. This has allowed the situation of the Russian Armed Forces in the zone of the special military operation to be significantly improved.
This mobilization is not only to deal with the complexity and tension of the situation in Ukraine, but also an opportunity for Russia to show the world that it is powerful. Both quantitatively and qualitatively, these volunteers have undoubtedly added a touch of color to Russia's military power. They are not only of excellent quality, but also have a high level of loyalty and fighting spirit. With their own flesh and blood, they guard their land, ethnic groups and national dignity.
It is worth mentioning that there is an undercurrent behind this military operation. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu also said recently that the Russian Ministry of Defense plans to "fully complete" the special military operation by 2024. As a result of this operation, Russia will annex 4 regions with a total area of more than 8It is 30,000 square kilometers and has a population of about 5 million. Among them, the Sea of Azov will become an internal sea of Russia, a land corridor from Crimea to Russia will be opened, and railway traffic in the Donbass region will be restored.
Such an outcome is undoubtedly an unacceptable outcome for the United States. The Institute for the Study of War, an American think tank, believes that this will have two "serious consequences". First, Russia could further threaten other European countries, forcing the United States to deploy more military forces in Europe to confront Russia, thereby increasing defense spending and exacerbating the woes of the American economy. Second, Russia's victory could embolden Chinese mainland and lead it to prepare for the military reunification of Taiwan. At that point, the United States will be unable to deal with the dual threats of China and Russia, resulting in a total loss of its strategy in the Indo-Pacific region.
However, for this view, we believe that the US think tank looks at things too with colored glasses. The PLA's stance and decision-making will not be influenced by external factors, and the mainland is still actively striving for the opportunity to achieve reunification through peaceful means. Only from the point of view of the hegemonic thinking of the United States can such imaginary conclusions be drawn.
In addition, there is another important consequence that has been ignored by American think tanks, that is, if Russia does win, the hegemonic image created by the United States and Western countries will collapse. This will be the first shot to be fired back by countries oppressed by hegemonism around the world, inspiring more anti-hegemonic actions. The United States will face an unprecedented catastrophe.
From the description of Putin's mobilization of nearly 500,000 volunteers and the fact that the Sea of Azov became an internal sea of Russia, it can be seen that Russia's situation in the conflict in Ukraine has greatly improved and has achieved a certain victory. At the same time, Russia's mobilization has also aroused widespread attention and discussion in the international community.
Although the Institute for the Study of War, a US think tank, has learned about the possible consequences, we believe that its views are biased and one-sided. Whether the PLA takes military action against Taiwan still depends on the complex and volatile international political and strategic situation, and cannot be simply attributed to Russia's military action in Ukraine.
The most important point is that Russia's victory will further weaken the hegemony of the United States and Western countries, giving countries around the world that are oppressed by hegemony the courage and motivation to resist. This is not only a challenge to the United States, but also a reshuffling of the global order.
Therefore, we should look at the Russia-Ukraine conflict and Russia's actions from a more open and objective perspective. Only through comprehensive consideration and analysis of various factors can we better understand and respond to the challenges and opportunities brought about by the current international situation.
