When it comes to the history of Sino-US diplomatic relations, Kissinger is a figure who must be mentioned. He is one of the important figures in the normalization of diplomatic relations between the two countries. He served as U.S. Secretary of State and was influential in global politics.
Kissinger is an "old friend" of China. As early as when the great man was still alive, he visited China many times, shook hands and talked with the great man, and was a "living fossil" witnessing Sino-US relations.
Born in 1923, Kissinger is now more than 100 years old and still active in the political arena.
Kissinger has his own unique views on many international issues. In an interview, he expressed many opinions and suggestions on the issue of US national defense and security. During this period, Kissinger admitted that the global situation was volatile and could lead to World War III. At that time, only three countries in the world will dare to fight the United States.
North Korea, which has been blocked by US sanctions for a long time
The DPRK is a typical socialist country. However, due to historical reasons and the global strategy implemented by the United States, it has been blocked by US sanctions for decades, and its economic level is poor and its development is backward. This is a major weakness.
But in reality the DPRK is not weak. It is at least a country with nuclear **. North Korea has long been suppressed by the United States and Western countries. From the leaders to the people, it has a high level of anti-American sentiment. In terms of diplomacy, it is-for-tat with the United States and does not make concessions to each other.
In recent years, the situation on the peninsula has been escalating. In the face of US suppression and threats, the DPRK has frequently test-fired missiles, which has brought huge security risks to neighboring countries.
It is an indisputable fact that there is a huge gap between the DPRK and the United States in terms of military comprehensive forces. In terms of tradition, the DPRK does not have an advanced modern navy and air force, nor does it have the strength to compete with the United States.
However, North Korea has advanced by leaps and bounds in missile technology. It has mastered ICBM technology, and its projection capabilities of the nuclear ** have been greatly improved, posing a great threat to the United States.
Kissinger, who has been active in US political circles for a long time, must have a clear understanding of the situation in North Korea. Once World War III broke out, it was not a joke that North Korea dared to fight the United States.
Peace-loving China
The Chinese people like peace, oppose war, and are willing to develop together with all countries in the world. They do not advocate or support the use of force to solve problems.
But since the founding of the People's Republic of China, Western countries, led by the United States, have not only blockaded China for a long time, but also used a policy of nuclear blackmail. For a while, we were very reactive.
Before the development of the Navy and Air Force, our land forces were very strong. On the Korean battlefield, the US-led "coalition" saw the outstanding combat effectiveness of the Chinese soldiers and no longer dared to underestimate the newly established New China.
The revolutionaries of the older generation, headed by ***, have personally experienced the taste of being beaten if they are backward. We have experienced many difficulties in an extremely difficult situation for the country. We have succeeded in inventing nuclear ** and have the ability to protect ourselves.
In the 70s of the 20th century, with the efforts of Kissinger and others, Sino-US diplomatic relations were gradually normalized, which was of great benefit to both countries. In particular, after reform and opening up, along with the marked improvement of the economic level, it has also provided a powerful guarantee for military development.
Today, China has a strong military force, or is second only to the United States, and has sufficient self-protection capabilities. In terms of nuclear ** and missile technology, many of our technologies are at the forefront, having long had accurate long-range attack capabilities. Once World War III breaks out, it will directly threaten the United States.
China and the United States are among the most influential countries in the world. The two countries have cooperation in competition and competition in cooperation. Peace is the trend of the times. Once a large-scale war breaks out, it will be a disaster for the world.
In the complex international situation, the Chinese people should always be prepared to respond to all possible changes and safeguard China's core interests.
Russia is a nuclear power
Russia is the country with the largest land area in the world and is rich in resources, which is one of its greatest strengths. Russia, one of the biggest beneficiaries of World War II, once had a powerful military. He inherited the mantle of the USSR and was a real nuclear power.
Judging by the data, although the scale of Russia's economy is not as large as that of several large provinces in China, its comprehensive national strength depends not only on the economy, but also on the Western powers, which ranked first in the economic scale of the Qing Dynasty.
In terms of military power, Russia can rank among the top three in the world in both conventional and nuclear. Objectively speaking, it poses a great threat to the United States. In recent years, perhaps for economic reasons, Russia has a tendency to lag behind in the development of conventional **. Judging by the performance of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, most people will have this opinion.
Russia's nuclear ** is the greatest threat to the United States, which is one of the main reasons why there is no direct conflict between the two countries.
Similar to North Korea, Russia has become accustomed to being sanctioned by the United States and Western countries for a long time. From the point of view of modern history, the Russians had good combat effectiveness, especially in the middle and late stages of World War II, when the torrent of steel pushed Germany and fascism and made an important contribution to the final victory in World War II.
Russia, with its large land area and powerful military power, objectively poses a great threat to the United States. Once the Third World War breaks out and the two countries go to war, it will be a disaster for the whole world.
The United States is the largest in the world in terms of comprehensive national strength, and it is not invincible, and once World War III breaks out, China, North Korea, and Russia will be able to directly threaten the United States.
Among the many American politicians, Kissinger, who won the Nobel Peace Prize, belongs to peace-loving people. He was not a fanatic who encouraged war, and naturally wanted world peace.
Kissinger's speech was mainly from the perspective of US national defense, combined with an objective analysis of the world's leading forces.
