At a recent security conference in Munich, the U.S. secretary of state said something rare in the world: If you don't go, you have to be at the table. Germany's Governor Baerbock and India's Governor Jaishankar also participated in the discussion. A reporter asked: The relationship between the United States and China is deteriorating day by day, and both sides are about to enter an alliance: which side is it? On this point, Lincoln said, "In the world pattern, there is no place for you, and your name is your name." So it's important for us to resume multilateral cooperation, and we do.
Blinken. First of all, this remark exposes the "law of the jungle" that the United States has always followed - those who follow me live, and those who oppose me die. In fact, the United States is doing the same. For example, Europe has now become a "dining table" created by the United States, and countries that have taken refuge in the United States are "guests of honor", while those who do not want to be ruled by the United States are placed on the "menu". The clearest example is Russia, which has weakened its territory through continuous outward expansion, encroaching on it step by step, culminating in a major war. During this period, Ukraine is only a "bait" to consume its prey, therefore, Ukraine will not be accepted by NATO and will be treated as a "guest of honor".
Blinken. On the other hand, the "jungle rule" pursued by the United States is not reasonable, and it is not a "law of the jungle". As Blinken said, "If you don't go up, you can't go down, you can't get down", however, from the perspective of human history, struggle and confrontation can bring opportunities as well as destruction. For example, in the Syrian civil war, the Iraq war, and the Afghanistan war, although the United States has gained tremendous benefits, tens of millions of people have been left homeless, and the Middle East has fallen into turmoil, which will also affect other countries and regions. To put it mildly, Americans eat everything in one bite, but what they pay is only a small portion of each meal in the future, and if this continues, the gains outweigh the losses.
The hegemony of the United States.
Of course, from the point of view of the Americans, it is only by remaining on the "table" that they can gain greater benefits, and other countries on the "menu", even if they are eventually erased, will not have any impact on the interests of the United States. But now is different, now is an era of interconnection, the collapse of a kingdom will have a huge impact on the development of the entire region, and even the pattern of the whole world. And most importantly, the United States has a "menu" in its hands with Russia, China and several other countries. The United States wanted to become a world hegemon, but it did not swallow the "appetite" of its opponents, so at this time, they joined forces and wanted to "share the food".
The hegemony of the United States.
However, the "dining table principle" pursued by the United States is also destined to have no allies, and no country can truly agree with the nutrition it needs for growth and development at the expense of other countries. At present, the United States is becoming more and more "friends", and the actions of the United States contradict its "principles". The most direct consequence is that various countries cooperate with the United States on the surface and secretly dismantle each other's Taiwan, but facts have proved that such a hegemonic concept is not applicable to today's world, because the progress of mankind is advancing, how can the United States win by retreating?
