It is simply appropriate to use the term domestic and foreign difficulties to describe the current situation of the United States.
Under Trump's leadership, 26 Republican-controlled states said they openly contradicted Biden, and the situation was on the verge of eruption.
Now that we have just entered the first year, the two parties in the United States are preparing to stage the Civil War again.
On the one hand, Biden ** is uncompromising, and on the other hand, Trump leads 26 states to open confrontation, this beautiful scenery makes the global melon-eating masses applaud.
Now that the conflict between Russia and Ukraine has not ended, Israel's situation has begun to become difficult, and the Red Sea is still blocked. Trump's troubles made Biden even more exhausted.
However, when the roof leak happened to rain overnight, just as the internal chaos in the United States began, the attacks on US military bases in the Middle East became more and more fierce.
In order to avoid arousing more fierce resistance from the countries of the Middle East, the US military has so far not dared to dispatch ground troops, but only dared to dispatch its air force to bomb it.
However, if we blindly take passive beatings, even if the air defense system of the US military base is improving, it is inevitable that there will be fish that slip through the net.
Not to mention, drone tactics have now been used on the battlefield, which also makes the air defense means that the US military is proud of directly fail.
Just yesterday, January 28, local time, the US military base in Jordan was attacked by a drone, although there was only one drone, it killed 3 US soldiers and injured as many as 25 US troops.
This is also the first time since the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict that US soldiers have been killed in an attack in the Middle East. The latest news is that the attack left at least 34 U.S. soldiers from the base due to possible traumatic brain injuries.
When Biden learned of the attack, he blamed Iranian-backed militant groups for the attack, saying the United States would retaliate at a time of its choosing, in a way of its own choosing, and pledged to continue the fight against terrorism.
The United States, as always, is self-righteous, and it turns out that you are building military bases in other people's homes, but it turns out that the local resistance groups are terrorism.
Anyway, who is a terrorist organization now is a matter of one word from the United States. Like the Houthis in Yemen, which was designated as a terrorist organization by the United States a few years ago and later withdrawn.
Now the Houthis have launched attacks on US boats, and then they have been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States. So, as long as the attack is on the US military, it is a terrorist organization?
The deadly attack comes just before Iraqi militias attacked five U.S. military bases in Syria and Iraq in retaliation for U.S. support for Israel's war in the Gaza Strip.
Earlier, U.S. military bases in Iraq and Syria had been attacked about 150 times. Realizing that the attacks on US military bases would not stop and that the situation was escalating, the US military also had the idea of withdrawing.
The United States knows very well that behind these local resistance groups is Iran, and this is the biggest trouble for the United States and Israel.
Iran, as the anti-American vanguard in the Middle East, also knows that without American assistance, Israel would not be a fart. Therefore, after the outbreak of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the first thing Iran hit was the US base.
Today's Iran is clearly anti-American, and it is not afraid to fight with the US military at all, after all, it has been fighting with the US military for many years, and its own Supreme Commander of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Major General Soleimani, was assassinated by the United States.
At that time, Iran directly attacked the US military base in Iraq with missiles, which is also unique in the entire Middle East, and only Iran dares to openly use force against the US military.
There is also the arc of resistance that Iran has assembled, including Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Yemen, Palestine and Iran itself.
As the war in the Middle East continues to expand, the Iranian-led arc of resistance has engaged the U.S. military in full swing. After all, this is the Middle East, and it's perfectly fine for everyone to make a surprise attack every once in a while, and drop a bomb.
Now, no matter how people from all walks of life in the Middle East counterattack, the United States does not dare to easily start a war in the Middle East, so the paper tiger nature of the United States is completely exposed.
Once the tiger skin is punctured, there is a first, there is a second. At present, the military forces deployed by the US military in the Middle East are being severely tested, and the situation is becoming more and more difficult.
Despite the constant air strikes by the US and British air forces on Yemen, this has not only not softened the Houthis, but has provoked more fierce resistance, and the Houthis have repeatedly hit US cargo ships with missiles.
Faced with such a predicament, the United States and Britain only dared to carry out air strikes, and the ground forces did not dare to end the field at all. Seeing that the United States was so cowardly, the Houthis simply attacked the US ** ship directly.
On the 26th of this month, Yemen's Houthi rebels fired a missile at a US destroyer USS Qarney patrolling the waters of the Gulf of Aden, and hit a British oil tanker with the missile.
Although the US destroyer USS Carney shot down an incoming missile, this attack was the first direct attack on a US ship by the Houthis since the blockade of the Red Sea, and it also marked a further escalation of confrontation in the Middle East waters.
Now that the first shot has been fired, it is necessary to create certain results. Only two days later, on the 28th, the Houthis fired another rocket at the USS Lewis Poole, a US ship sailing in the Gulf of Aden.
At present, although no US ** ship has suffered heavy damage, it is only a matter of time.
Just like a U.S. military base, you will be beaten passively, and no matter how advanced your prevention and control system is, there will always be a time to be hit.
In the face of frequent attacks by drones and rockets, the US military has also been dragged directly into a war of attrition, and the longer the situation passes, the more passive it becomes.
Today, however, the United States does not dare to act rashly for fear of arousing greater resistance in the Middle East, but once it relents, its influence in the Middle East will be dealt a serious blow again.
At this time, the only countries that can help the United States are Russia, Iran and China. Needless to say, the first two are already completely hostile to the United States.
So the United States wants China to help at this time, after all, the relationship between China and Iran is still good, and the Houthis have previously publicly stated that Chinese and Russian ships can pass through the Red Sea smoothly.
A few days ago, the West released news that in the past three months, the United States has repeatedly asked China to urge Iran to curb the pro-Iranian Houthi attacks on merchant ships in the Red Sea, but there is almost no sign of China's help.
The United States is really funny, while trying to get China to help, it still refuses to bow its head.
Since the outbreak of the current round of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the United States has asked China more than once to exert its so-called "influence" over Iran. If there is no response, they will pick their noses at China.
But the United States does not even think about how the crisis in the Red Sea and the crisis of US military bases in the Middle East were caused.
In fact, after each attack, the Middle East resistance group issued a statement saying that the attack on the US military was a response to the United States' support for Israel.
It's not that China doesn't cooperate with the United States now, and your other allies don't choose to help you this time, except for the United Kingdom, no country in the whole of NATO is willing to send a single soldier.
Again, the United States cannot allow Israel's continued attack and blockade of the Gaza Strip while pulling everyone together to protect Israel's sea lanes.
The United States cannot stand in opposition to the international community and then demand that the international community cooperate. If you want to resolve the Red Sea crisis, there is no other choice but to push for a ceasefire between Palestine and Israel.
The United States always fears that when its influence in the Middle East wanes, China will fill the "power vacuum" it has left behind. Therefore, he made irresponsible remarks about the normal cooperation between China and Middle Eastern countries, and strictly guarded against China's entry into the Middle East region.
But now that the United States itself is trapped in the Middle East, but wants China's help, isn't this a contradiction?
If you really can't, don't let your three aircraft carriers wander around the peninsula. The US military bases in the Middle East have been beaten into bears, so let's hurry up.
At this time, it would be good to be able to keep one's head, and the United States should not think too much about it, it is better to recognize the reality as soon as possible, your good days of lawlessness in the Middle East are over!
