Just as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict continues to escalate and arouse the attention of all international parties, the Russia-Ukraine conflict has also ushered in its second anniversary, but the signs of the war have not yet subsided.
Judging from the current situation, the military aid of the United States and the West to Ukraine has declined, which is one of the main reasons for the recent loss of the Ukrainian army on the front line, and it also makes Kyiv very worried.
It can be seen that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has continued to this day, and the situation in Ukraine is becoming more and more passive, and this conflict is becoming more and more like a confrontation between Russia and the United States and its Western allies.
In particular, while the United States and the West are providing military assistance to Ukraine, they are also increasing sanctions and pressure on Russia at all times, making the confrontation between the two sides more and more intense.
On the 24th, the European Union has adopted the 13th round of sanctions against Russia, preparing to further encircle and intercept Russia in the economic, diplomatic and other aspects.
As for the United States, recently, Biden and Putin staged a scene of "scolding from the air", and the White House also released news that Russia seems to be "developing anti-satellites" and planning to "deploy nuclear weapons in space" For this reason, Biden also ordered the relevant departments of the United States to conduct direct diplomatic contacts with Russia on these matters.
However, these statements of the White House have been strongly refuted by the Russian side, believing that this information is purely a deliberate fabrication by the United States and is part of the information war carried out by the United States, so as to make the US Congress agree to provide a new batch of military aid to Ukraine.
Moreover, the Russian side did not forget to emphasize that Russia has more economical and effective means to suppress American satellites.
In addition, Russia also said that Russia will not withdraw from the "Outer Space Treaty", and pointed out that the United States has been striving for opportunities for its own deployment in outer space, including fabricating false information to blame others.
Obviously, judging from the reaction between the United States and Russia, the United States aims to achieve this by "exaggerating Russia's deployment in space" - deployment in space; expanding the confrontation with Russia; Take the opportunity to promote the three major goals of US military aid to Ukraine.
But now, with Russia refusing to "withdraw from the group," the United States will continue to be constrained under the framework of the Outer Space Treaty. Therefore, from a certain point of view, Russia's refusal to "withdraw from the group" this time is actually a move to retreat into advance, which makes the United States feel helpless.
However, seeing that its plan failed to succeed, the United States did not give up, and immediately launched a second offensive against Russia.
On the 25th, ** news, the White House released news that Biden has ordered the imposition of more than 500 new sanctions on Russia in response to the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and the death of Russian opposition figure Navalny.
It is clear that with US sanctions against Russia becoming commonplace, it has become less important for the White House to impose sanctions on what grounds. Even the 500 new sanctions imposed by the United States on Russia this time are very retributive, but the actual impact and blow on Russia is no longer too obvious.
After all, in the two years since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States and the West have sanctioned almost everything that can be sanctioned, and most of the ones that can continue to be sanctioned now are some less important targets, or it can be said to be a "brick and twine" to the previous sanctions.
Finally, let's talk about two superficial points.
1. As the conflict between Russia and Ukraine continues to escalate, the confrontation between the United States and Russia is becoming more and more intense.
After all, to a certain extent, the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is part of the pressure on Russia by the United States, and as long as the Russian-Ukrainian conflict continues, the United States can continue to exert new pressure on Russia with it, and at the same time bring Western allies to put pressure on Russia.
Therefore, under the current opportunity for the conflict between Russia and Ukraine to subside, the United States is bound to find ways to put pressure on Russia and expand its own interests as much as possible, after all, this conflict will always end one day.
2. It is undeniable that the confrontation between the United States and Russia continues to escalate, and the risk of direct conflict between the two sides is also rising.
In particular, at present, in addition to the United States, Russia is facing countries such as Britain, France, and Germany, NATO, and the European Union, and the pressure is indeed not small. No one can guarantee that Russia will not take more drastic retaliatory actions as the United States and the West continue to press forward step by step.
After all, Putin once said cruel words - "If Russia is gone, then what else does the world do?" ”
In addition, a new round of *** in the United States is about to start, and Biden's situation is not optimistic, the escalation of confrontation between the United States and Russia, and the continuous escalation of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, are not good news for Biden's candidacy.
Where to go from here, Biden obviously has to think twice.
