When the Soviet Union just collapsed, Yeltsin, the helmsman of Russia, was actually a faction and wanted to join NATO, however, the United States will never allow a strong Russia to appear, so no matter how obedient Yeltsin's attitude is, the United States has only one goal: to completely defeat Russia.
At that time, under the instigation of the United States, Yeltsin used "shock**" to directly lead Russia into the abyss, and it was not until Putin came to power later that he completely recognized the essence of the United States, resolutely decoupled from the United States, and instead reached a friendly and cooperative relationship with China to jointly resist US hegemonism.
Over the past two decades, China and Russia have not formed an alliance, but they have built a deep friendship because we both share a common enemy. In many international affairs, the two sides support each other. After the Russian-Ukrainian war, the United States launched all-round sanctions against Russia with a group of follower countries, and even froze Russia's dollar reserves and kicked Russia out of the SWIFT settlement system.
This move has led to a sharp rise in domestic prices in Russia, because it is difficult to import goods, and at the same time, the domestic ruble has depreciated sharply, and prices have skyrocketed. Seeing that Russia was going to be unable to hold on, thanks to China's help, it launched a relationship with Russia, which helped Russia relieve a lot of pressure and tide over difficulties.
At that time, an agreement was reached between Russia and China, and China and Russia directly bypassed the dollar and settled in their respective currencies, so that the purpose of the United States to freeze Russia's dollar reserves was more than half. Not only that, but it has also affected the credibility of the dollar in the international community, causing more and more countries to abandon the dollar.
Now, Russia is still striking while the iron is hot, according to ** reports, recently, at the United Nations General Assembly, Russia's chief Lavrov directly to the United Nations Secretary-General Guterres showdown: in the future, Russia will directly use the yuan to pay the membership dues of the United Nations members, the United Nations can refuse to accept it, but Russia will not pay separately.
As soon as these words came out, the whole world was in an uproar! You know, in the past period, more and more countries have reached an agreement with China that they will no longer use US dollars for settlement. But after all, it is all between a single country and a single country, and now, Russia has directly stabbed this matter to the United Nations, which is a clear message: Russia supports China to directly replace the United States!
As we all know, the headquarters of the United Nations is located in New York, so the United States has taken a lot of advantage. For example, if a representative of another country wants to hold a meeting in the United States, he must obtain a visa from the United States, and if the United States does not apply for a visa for a representative of a certain country, that country will not be able to participate in important meetings of the United Nations, and in the past, Iran, Russia, and other hostile countries of the United States have suffered from this.
Not only that, but the current UN Secretary-General António Guterres appears to be neutral on the surface, but in fact he is a puppet of the United States. Previously, he had openly declared that the internationalization of the renminbi was a disaster for the whole world and would trigger a worldwide economic crisis, and he asked countries not to abandon the dollar in order to help the United States solve the dollar credibility crisis.
Therefore, Russia's move is not only talking about the issue of the renminbi replacing the United States, but also means a warning to Guterres not to stubbornly follow the United States to the black, otherwise it will only trigger Russia's all-out opposition at that time.
You must know that the power of the United Nations is given by the member states, and Russia, as one of the five permanent members of the Security Council and the greatest contributor to the victory in World War II, is fully qualified to question the position of the United Nations! No matter Guterres or anyone else, as long as he goes black with the United States, he will definitely not end well!
