Just when 1.4 billion Chinese were welcoming the Spring Festival, Americans on the other side of the ocean ushered in a critical moment when the century-old empire turned from prosperity to decline.
In the past two days, the United States federal ** and Texas**, the matter of armed confrontation on the border, the matter of the uproar, Biden, Trump has spoken out, respectively in support of the federal ** and Texas**, Trump even called on the states ** should send the National Guard to support Texas.
On the surface, this incident is a contradiction between Texas and the Federation, because of the immigration issue, but in essence, it is a fundamental conflict between the uneven distribution of power and interests between the two sides, and it may not be enough to say that it is a "civil war", but the emergence of this incident can only show one thing: Although there are battlefields such as Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East and other battlefields to divert internal contradictions, the internal problems of the United States are still to the extent that they cannot be concealed.
However, what the United States is now facing is not only internal troubles, but also external troubles.
According to US media reports, the US ** Command issued a statement that a drone attacked a US military base in Jordan, killing 3 US troops and injuring 25 others. This event fundamentally changed the current situation in the Middle East and in the United States. Because dead and undead are two completely different concepts.
Judging from the habits of the US military in previous operations, the US top brass actually does not care about the lives of US soldiers, after all, mercenaries are mercenaries, one pays money and the other sells his life, which is a willing deal. But the U.S. military is fighting in the name of the country, so every soldier killed by the U.S. military is a huge shock to the United States, and in order to calm the anger of the domestic people, the U.S. military will inevitably take measures to retaliate.
But the biggest problem has arisen, the United States has been retaliating with air strikes, which have lasted at least 8 rounds, and the armed groups supported by Iran have not only not been frightened, but have even increased the intensity and frequency of attacks, and almost all US military bases scattered throughout the Middle East have been attacked, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are rats crossing the street.
Internal worries and external troubles, although what happened in Iraq and Texas, although they have nothing to do with each other, but they all coincidentally stepped on the gas pedal for the decline of US hegemony, so what will be the outcome of the United States? More than 2,000 years ago, Jiang Taigong said in "Sima Law": "If you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger."
Throughout the more than 200 years of history since the founding of the United States in 1776, from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, and then to a series of wars launched after World War II, they are either fighting or preparing for war. War has become a part of the United States, and from politics, economy, military to culture, there are elements of war. It is not an exaggeration to say that the United States is "belligerent".
Since World War II, the Middle East has been the place most poisoned by US war crimes. At that time, the United States took advantage of several wars in the Middle East to establish military hegemony to deter the world. But since then, in order to control the Middle East, successive US leaders have not only failed to establish a viable order in the Middle East, but have instead supported puppet regimes, funded extremist organizations, and pulled a faction to fight a group. The United States bears the main responsibility for Israel's rampant behavior today.
A belligerent country, its thinking is war thinking, whether it is internal or external, all contradictions, the United States can only think of the method of war, this is the pity of the United States.
But the problem is that the country that the United States now regards as an enemy is not a small country in the Middle East, but a rising superpower, and the United States cannot, dare not, and cannot afford to start a war.
The first round of collapse of US hegemony began, and once the century-old prestige was dissipated, the belligerent will die, which is the end of the United States.
