At this time, the United States and the West seem to have moved away from maintaining a superficial posture of "benevolence, righteousness and morality", but have shown a direct and frank attitude.
The United States and Western countries have been stuck in a cyclical state of helplessness when it comes to Ukraine's aid, and it seems that no one is willing to continue to provide military aid to Ukraine. However, this is not simply due to the reluctance of the United States and Western countries, but more importantly due to the shortage of funds.
Now, as the conflict between Ukraine and Russia is coming to an end, the United States and the West have made a rather risky decision.
Traditional methods can no longer effectively suppress Russia, so the United States and Western countries have chosen to find another way, planning to use the frozen Russian sovereign assets, which is as high as 300 billion US dollars!
Despite the strong preference of the United States to use the funds directly, within the G7, there are different voices. So far, only Britain has unconditionally supported the idea of the United States, while other member states have not dared to make hasty decisions.
After all, within the G7, many countries, although they have been paying attention to the attitude of the United States, do not dare to completely ignore Russia's wishes. If Russia is provoked, the consequences will be unimaginable, and Russia will certainly take reciprocal countermeasures. Will the United States be able to protect its allies then?In my opinion, this possibility is even slimmer than the chances of winning the lottery. There is no good reason for the United States to take such a risk without being fully profit-driven.
On the whole, no matter how the United States and Western countries try to whitewash their actions, they are in essence stealing Russian property by disguised means. The United States is not alone in this behavior, but the European Union is also involved.
There were many people who thought that the euro could compete with the dollar and that the EU could counterbalance the United States, but it turned out that the EU was only a puppet of the United States, lacking the ability to make decisions and think independently. Many times, they just go with the flow. Russia has already experienced a punishment.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people"Once again, this statement has been proven true. Whether it is the United States or other countries, China has a large number of ** exchanges. In particular, the issue of financial security has become particularly important while strengthening dialogue with Europe.
In fact, the actions of the United States and Western countries are partly aimed at using this opportunity to rationally appropriate Russian assets, and partly to force Russia to stop its aggressive behavior.
From the perspective of the great power game, economic checks and balances are an important strategic tool. Looking at the previous actions of the United States and the West, the pressure they exert on China is also based on these considerations. Against China"Economic warfare"China needs to avoid the ambitions of the United States and Western countries and their attempts to influence international strategy through economic means.
I think that the Russian side is ready to respond to the rogue actions of the United States and Western countries. Otherwise, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict would not have lasted so long, and the order in Russia would not have been so stable. Even Russia** Putin himself rarely mentions the sanctions imposed by the United States and Western countries, the pressure on Russia, and does not call on outside forces to help Russia resist the sanctions imposed by the United States and Western countries.
This illustrates the fact that the Russian side has long responded to threats from the United States and Western countries that it will temporarily manage the assets of the relevant countries in Russia if Russian assets in foreign countries are restricted.
This is also a wake-up call. While China has always been open and cooperative, we need to have tough tactics to protect ourselves, just like Russia.
