The development process of human society is like a magnificent picture, from primitive society to slave society, feudal society, capitalist society, and finally to communist society, which is an irreversible historical process.
At present, the world is facing major changes unseen in a century, especially the decline of Western capitalist countries has become the most significant change. These countries are not willing to withdraw from the stage of history, but are caught in the last struggle and the situation of being trapped and fighting.
Marx profoundly pointed out in Capital that the development of capitalism is full of evil, bloodshed and plunder. As a capitalist country, the United States has frequently provoked turmoil, conflicts and wars over the past 100 years, and has risen to become the most developed country in the world through cunning and plunder. Today, the global influence of the United States in the military, economic, political, technological, intellectual and cultural fields is rapidly declining.
Despite the fact that the decline of the United States is an indisputable fact, most American political elites are reluctant to acknowledge this brutal fact.
Instead, they seek to perpetuate their hegemony by containing the development of emerging countries. The latest move is the rapid build-up of US-led NATO forces to launch the largest joint military exercise since the Cold War in preparation for confronting Russia.
According to a Reuters report, the military exercise will be NATO's largest since the Cold War, involving 31 countries, more than 90,000 people, more than 50 warplanes, and more than 1,100 armored vehicles. The exercise ranged from North America to Europe, mainly in the three Baltic states near Russia. NATO has made it clear that it is preparing for war with Russia, and has even hinted at the possibility of war within 20 years. British Defense Minister Schappes even declared that the era of peace is over, and NATO will prepare for war with countries such as Russia, China, Iran and North Korea in the next five years.
This series of actions has not only aroused great concern in the international community, but also caused people to worry about the prospects for world peace. And at this sensitive moment, Russia's ** Putin showed extraordinary courage, inspected Kaliningrad, communicated with the governor, and interacted with students. This action shows that Russia is not afraid of military pressure and threats from the West, and has demonstrated its determination to resist Western hegemony.
In this geopolitical game, Putin will not be intimidated by NATO's military exercises, but will rise up to resist and maintain regional peace and stability. This also reflects the further escalation of the military confrontation between Russia and NATO countries, and the growing risk of conflict.
At the same time, China's defense has publicly stated that NATO has been waging and participating in wars everywhere since its founding, threatening regional security.
At a time when the world is at its most dangerous stage in the post-war period, countries need to be prepared for the possibility of war. The lessons of history tell us that if you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger. As far as the United States is concerned, provoking a war in order to maintain its hegemonic status regardless of its own strength will only waste its national strength, harm itself, and ultimately accelerate the decline and demise of hegemonism.
The whole world is watching this geopolitical storm, and all we can do is remain vigilant and urge countries to resolve their differences through dialogue and cooperation to achieve mutual benefits. It is hoped that the leaders of all countries will think rationally and no longer use war as a means to solve problems, but build a future of common prosperity through peaceful means. This may be the next stage in the historical development of human society, and it is also the direction of our joint efforts.
