Author: Wu Baiding.On January 21, a breaking news came from the Ukrainian side, **Zelensky relieved Zaluzhny of his post.
Zaluzhny. You must know that since Ukraine's strategic ** has been in trouble, the contradictions between Zelensky and Zaluzhny have been all over the city, and now these boots have finally landed.
Friends, since February 2022, Zaluzhny has appeared many times, and he has been serving as the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, if it weren't for March of that year, Zaluzhny withstood the pressure and held Kyiv without retreating, and the Russian army's lightning attack was likely to be a great success. Subsequently, Zaluzhny brought the Russian army back to its original shape, so that Putin was forced to replace five front-line commanders, in addition to the current Defense Minister Shoigu's military career is somewhat bleak, Dvorniko, Yevkurov, Surovikin, Gerasimov, which one is not a high-ranking general of the Russian army?
On the other hand, on the Ukrainian side, Zaluzhny has always served as the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, and the position should not be too stable. Now that Russia's General Gerasimov has "disappeared" for some time, and Zaluzhny has also received a notice of Zelensky's dismissal, it seems that it is time to turn the page on the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
Recently, Zelensky has not received any less bad news. On January 15, local time, after winning a big victory in the Iowa primary election in the United States, Trump did not forget about Ukraine, claiming that the current situation is too terrible, he gets along well with Russia's ** Putin, and he knows Zelensky very well, and within 24 hours, he has the ability to end this war that should not happen.
Zelensky was very upset about Trump's public statement and invited Trump to Kyiv to talk. In Zelensky's opinion, since Trump is so confident, why not try it himself? Friends, Zelensky, who is in a difficult situation at home and abroad, has changed, he has always refused peace talks, and even if he wants to talk, he has to follow his script, and has held four so-called "peace conferences" in a row, not only excluding Russia, but also repeatedly making excessive demands on China. Since you're not ready for it yourself, wait and see. In the face of time, what Zelensky insists on is not worth mentioning at all.
In fact, Zelensky understands very well in his heart that Trump is not a god, and it is impossible for him to help him defeat Russia, but will directly choose to "cut off supply". Once the supply is "cut off", even if Zaluzhny is brave, it is impossible for him to charge personally with a burning stick. Even if Zelensky is reluctant to do a hundred, he will have to face the situation of "cutting off supply" from the United States and Europe, not to mention that Zaluzhny's public support has risen sharply, which has formed a real threat to himself.
Seeing Trump's big victory in the first primary, not only Zelensky felt "uneasy", but European politicians also began to be worried. Recently, France's Macron inspected France's military enterprises and asked France to transform to a "war economy model". He knows very well in his heart that once Trump enters the White House, according to this person's path, he will definitely stop the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, then Europe will lose the obstacle of Ukraine and face the threat of Russia.
France has acted, but what is Germany's attitude? Zelensky has always been thinking about Germany's Taurus cruise missiles, and the Ukrainian army on the front line is short of ammunition, and the missiles are getting fewer and fewer.
Recently, German Defense Minister Pistorius directly opened the skylight and said bright words, brother, Germany's support for Ukraine will not change, but the Taurus cruise missiles you want, Germany is impossible to provide, because we owe too much debt for military construction, relied on the protection of the US military in the past, and are now considering restoring the compulsory military system. Russia is not far from me, I have to take precautions in advance, and you can see what other people can do?
When Trump comes to power, he will inevitably increase the cost of troops stationed in Europe, and Germany will bear the brunt. Don't tell me that you are weak, no matter how difficult it is for you, is there still a difficulty for the United States? In 2023, the scale of the U.S. debt has exceeded 34 trillion, and in 2024, the payment of interest on U.S. bonds alone will exceed $1 trillion, which is equivalent to feeding another "U.S. military", and the deficit rate of the United States will not be 38% in 2023, and it is likely to go straight to 50%. Of course, there is a way to do it without paying for it, and that is to "withdraw the troops" and everyone live their own lives.
Seeing this, many friends may feel that the United States, Europe, and Ukraine are not having a good time. And what about the days in Russia? You must know that the United States, Europe, and Ukraine are having a hard time, all of which are related to the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, if Russia's life is also difficult, everyone is nothing more than "rotten" with each other, to see who has good endurance and great potential, so many countries in the United States and Europe are targeting Russia, who can have the last laugh, maybe it is really uncertain.
At 17 o'clock local time on January 17, Russia's ** Putin publicly said that in 2023, Russia's GDP will grow by 35% or more. The Russian family proudly said that Russia is already the largest economy in Europe in terms of purchasing power, and Germany has to stand aside. Subsequently, China's Ministry of Commerce also showed the latest data, and the amount of China and Russia in 2023 exceeded 240 billion US dollars, an increase of 26 over the previous year3%。Just after New Year's Day, Putin went to the Far East again, standing on the other side of the Heilongjiang River, to guide and promote the progress of the construction of the passenger and cargo port on Black Blind Island. After dealing with China for a long time, Russians understand that passenger and cargo ports promote logistics, logistics drives the flow of funds, and the amount of China and Russia can rise steadily.
Seeing such a report card, I wonder how Biden will feel? The United States not only promotes decoupling and chain breaking around the world, but also joins the European Union, Japan, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand to stop the globalization of the world economy. Biden's approach not only undermines the stability of the world economy, but also provides an opportunity for deepening cooperation between manufacturing and raw material countries.
Didn't the United States blockade and sanction Russia? If the world economy is monolithic, then Russia is really not in a good position. Fortunately, under Biden's manipulation, there have been many cracks in the world economy, which provides the possibility for "the East is not bright and the West is bright", China, India, and Turkey are importing a large amount of Russian energy, and those who keep saying that they want to impose sanctions on Russia, including the United States, Japan, and the European Union, are also tossed half to death by high energy **, and have to import Russian energy through a third party, which is Putin's confidence.
Not only that, but Putin has also found a breakthrough in the Middle East and North Korea. After confirming with Iran that it "unconditionally" respects the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the other side, Iran, which has been holding back for more than four years, has finally broken out, recovering seized oil tankers, attacking Israel's Mossad overseas headquarters, and shelling anti-Iranian terrorist organizations, causing the United States to pretend to be deaf and dumb. The Houthis on the shore of the Red Sea, the movement of the people is getting bigger and bigger, starting from attacking Israeli merchant ships, expanding to the United States and Britain**, and then to the merchant ships of the United States, Britain and Israel.
The United States has been dragged in the Middle East, and Russia has again exerted its strength on the Korean Peninsula. As friends know, North Korean Foreign Minister Choe Son Hui recently visited Moscow. On the way to the Kegong Palace, a document held by Choi Sun-hee's assistant attracted the attention of the West, and the words "Rocket Progress Program" appeared in the title. As a result, some people speculated that this was Russia's assistance to North Korea in terms of nuclear technology.
If this is the case, it is not so much that others are careless, but that it is just for you to see. NATO can aid Ukraine and make Eastern Europe dark, why can't Russia aid North Korea? Russia needs North Korea's conventional ammunition, drones and artillery, and North Korea needs Russia's energy, food, and nuclear technology, and the two sides hit it off. At the warm invitation of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un, after a lapse of 24 years, Putin is about to visit North Korea, which is somewhat due to Biden.
It was during Biden's tenure that North Korea completed its first nuclear test in six years on January 19, giving Trump another bombshell to hit Biden. Trump can boldly say that he is the only American ** in history who did not start a war during his term of office, and it was his meeting with Kim Jong-un that stopped North Korea's nuclear tests for 6 years, this time screwed up by Biden again.
Since May 2022, South Korea's ** Yoon Suk-yeol has pursued the line of "** flattering Japan" and has launched "maximum pressure" on North Korea. When encountering South Korea ** like Yoon Suk-yeol, Biden boldly drove strategic bombers and nuclear submarines to South Korea, and reconnaissance planes also penetrated into North Korea many times. At the doorstep of North Korea, the three first-class performances of the United States, Japan and South Korea are even more perennial.
In the face of intimidation from the United States, Japan, and South Korea, North Korea has chosen to "be tough to the end." On January 15, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for the first time defined South Korea as the "number one enemy" and "eternal enemy" and abolished the Committee for the Peaceful Reunification of the Fatherland against South Korea. In the future, don't talk to me about "3,000 miles of splendid rivers and mountains" and "80 million compatriots", the one standing on the other side of the 38th parallel is the number one enemy, and it will never change.
So where does North Korea's confidence come from? Among the three major powers of China, the United States and Russia, the DPRK and China have maintained a traditional friendship for a long time. Recently, the United States has dragged 34 countries to carry out a joint operation, sent a letter to China, asking China to prevent North Korea from evading United Nations sanctions, and provided several satellites** as proof. As a result, of course, it was resolutely refuted by the Chinese side, and we have always strictly abided by the relevant resolutions of the Security Council. On the contrary, the resumption of dialogue advocated by the Chinese side has not seen the follow-up results, and the United States bears the main responsibility. Compared with a few merchant ships, the 34 countries should pay more attention to the activities of US bombers, reconnaissance planes, and nuclear submarines at the DPRK's doorstep.
Now, North Korea has established interaction with Russia, and the foreign and defense ministers of the two countries have met several times, and when Putin visited Pyongyang, the leaders of the two countries exchanged visits. In this way, North Korea will get two big cards, increasing the bargaining chips with the United States, as for South Korea, it is you who fight, after some beating, it depends on whether the United States will give in. Stubborn to the end? Then keep banging until someone can't stand it anymore. It seems that sanctions and blockades have never been the goal, let alone a tool to suppress other countries, and the key is to create conditions for consultation and dialogue, so that all parties concerned are willing to sit down for dialogue. Only in this way can the tragedy of the Ukrainian crisis be avoided and repeated on the Korean Peninsula.
