September 11, 2001 is a day that will be remembered by history even a hundred years later.
On this day, two hijacked civil aviation *** crashed straight into the Twin Towers in New York City, the heart of the United States.
When people in the world think back to this incident, they are always entangled in how much economic loss and how many people died at that time. It wasn't until more than a decade later, when people looked back at this incident, that they realized that this terrorist attack directly changed the course of history.
I won't talk about anything else, just talk about China.
After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States was alone and invincible, and the American strategic decision-makers at that time searched the world for what they considered to be an imaginary enemy. At that time, in the world, it was not only in terms of ideology with the United States, but also in terms of national strength, and only China could make two moves with the United States.
So, after the collapse of the Soviet Union, China was really miserable.
First, in 1993, the Galaxy incident occurred.
Then came the 1996 conflict in the Taiwan Strait. At that time, the United States and Western countries were pressuring the Taiwan Strait, and our soldiers wrote suicide notes, preparing to use their flesh and blood to fill the generation gap between the national strength of the two sides, just like the Korean War decades ago.
This is just as it was at that moment. Fortunately, in the end, the brave won by the narrow road, and the Americans were probably frightened on the Korean battlefield that year, and did not have the determination to fight with us.
By the last year of the 20th century, the situation was even worse.
During the Kosovo War in 1999, the US-led NATO forces bombed China's embassy in the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia for no apparent reason.
A year later, in 2000, another plane collision occurred between China and the United States in the South China Sea.
The frequency of conflicts that erupts is so dense that it seems that the big guns of the American **industrial complex have been ***.
At that time, China was thinking about reform, opening up, and economic development, and all this was inseparable from a peaceful and stable external environment.
In the decade of the beginning of the 21st century, it is difficult to say that the United States will not create new conflicts.
But this collision directly missed the muzzle of the United States, giving China a ten-year development period, so that it was too late for the United States to clean up. That alone is enough to change history.
At that time, the United States was in the midst of a dream at the peak of its empire, and this collision directly woke the United States from its dream, and it was angry to find the mastermind behind the scenes.
The CIA is not a vegetarian either, and it soon became clear that the backstage bosses of these *** were their former nemesis bin Laden on the battlefield in Afghanistan.
At that time, everyone thought that bin Laden was dead, and with the strength of the Americans, there was no difference between killing bin Laden and killing a chicken.
Bin laden. Look at Saddam Hussein, in terms of strength, he is a thousand times stronger than bin Laden. The result? Haven't you been caught and hanged by the United States?
Surprisingly, bin Laden, like Xiaoqiang, has survived for nearly a decade in the overwhelming carpet search in the United States.
The United States has invested trillions of dollars on the battlefield in Afghanistan, but it has not been able to get his head.
Is bin Laden too powerful, or is the United States just showing it?
The origin of this bin Laden is not simple, he was born in the bin Laden family, one of the four major families in Saudi Arabia.
As we all know, Saudi Arabia is a hereditary monarchy that still retains a king today. Therefore, the ruling group within him is hereditary, like the Saudi royal family.
The Saud family is just the eldest of the four great families, and their status is equivalent to that of the royal family in ancient China.
In addition to this, there are three other large families that can go hand in hand with them.
One is the Suleiman family, the founder of this family, Suleiman, who was the chancellor of the exchequer who started the business with the founding king of Saudi Arabia, Ibn Saud. Therefore, for more than 70 years, their family has monopolized the position of household secretary.
The other is the Sheikh family, who are the founders of the Wahhabi sect of Islam.
This Wahhabi school is more radical in its thinking, and bin Laden is the product of their cultivation, and their family is the equivalent of the hereditary Ministry of Rites in Saudi Arabia.
Bin Laden's family has monopolized all large-scale engineering contracting projects in Saudi Arabia for decades, and is a veritable family of the Ministry of Industry in Saudi Arabia.
Most of the *** in today's world are due to living too poor and have no way out.
Then it was influenced by some of the more radical schools of Islamic thought, looking for the root of difficulties in the explanation of these schools, and then listening to demagoguery, which cultivated *** This is the cultivation mechanism of most ***.
But bin Laden is different, he was born with a golden key. How did you become a terror boss?
In fact, this kind of person also has the potential to become ***.
Ordinary *** is due to the limitations of material conditions. That's why they converted to religious extremism. And these rich sons are likely to be keen to study ideology and philosophy because they have no worries about food and clothing, and then become *** by converting to extreme religious ideas
In fact, the emergence of many great revolutionaries in this world is also the same reason.
It's just that some people believe in nationalist ideas or socialist ideas and become revolutionaries, while some people become extremely religious because they believe in them.
However, the cultivation mechanism is in the same vein.
For example, those revolutionaries in New China, many middle- and lower-level officers and soldiers could not survive because they were bullied and exploited by the landlords and old money, and then they were inspired by the communist ideology and rose up to resist.
However, many high-level elites in the party, such as *** these people, are actually from upper-class families and have no worries about food and clothing.
But at the same time, because they were inspired by revolutionary ideas, they came into contact with advanced ideas and theories, and thus threw themselves into the side of the poor peasants.
Osama bin Laden was reformed by extremist religious ideology and betrayed his own camp.
Therefore, as an adult, bin Laden did not lie on the merits of his ancestors like other brothers in the family. On the contrary, during the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, he was summoned by religious extremism to devote himself to the so-called holy war.
Risking one's life to fight against the Soviets is not a choice that normal people can make.
It is impossible to give up the glory and wealth and choose to clear the poverty and suffering, without great perseverance and firm faith.
I don't agree with bin Laden's thinking and what he did, but I have to admit that he was an extraordinary figure.
At that time, the United States was at a disadvantage in the Cold War between the United States and the Soviet Union, and was pressed by the Soviet Union.
Therefore, after seeing that the Soviet Union took the initiative to jump into the graveyard of the empire, it vigorously assisted the jihadist groups in the Afghan region.
It was at this time that bin Laden hooked up with the CIA. Until the Soviet Union's withdrawal from Afghanistan in 1989, the cooperation between the two sides was friendly and pleasant.
Then why did bin Laden hate Americans so much later?
According to bin Laden's own public statement on **, it is the United States that favors Israel in the conflict between Arabia and Israel. In addition, the United States is imposing its own liberal and democratic ideas in the Arab world, which is a clash of civilizations.
Let's analyze whether his two statements are valid one by one.
First of all, it is an established fact that the United States has always favored Israel in its conflict with the Arab world.
But the problem is that the four wars between the Arab world and Israel were fought in the 70s of the 20th century.
When bin Laden worked with the United States, it was in the 80s of the 20th century.
At that time, the struggle between the Arab world and Israel had eased, and there were only some frictions and clashes around the Palestinian border, and there was no more large-scale fighting like the previous four Middle East wars.
So this argument is not true. If you really hate the United States for favoring Israel, then in the 70s, you should be anti-American, and in the 80s, you should not accept American aid.
Why did you go to 911 30 years after the end of the Middle East war?
The second point is the clash of civilizations, which is also unjustifiable.
Ever since the United States gained a foothold in the Middle East, ideological infiltration has been a daily routine for decades. Osama bin Laden hadn't even been born at that time.
According to this statement, bin Laden should have hated the United States from a young age, so why didn't he become an anti-American fighter and an anti-Soviet fighter?
In fact, the real cause is indeed a clash of civilizations, but it is not as bin Laden himself said, he did not express it completely.
From the collapse of the Soviet Union to the occurrence of 911, the decade was the time when the United States had the most violent infiltration of the ideas of countries around the world.
First, because the United States defeated the Soviet Union, it was invincible in the world and became a beacon for all beings to look up to.
But the second reason is more important. In the past, the ideological penetration of the United States was limited by technical reasons and the resistance of the indigenous religions in the Middle East, but the results have not been too great for decades. There has not been any violent clash of civilizations between the two sides.
But just after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States and the West feasted on his corpse. By harvesting the cheap assets of the Soviet Union, the Internet revolution was born.
Once this new thing appears, it will be amazing.
In the past, the United States was isolated from the people at the bottom of the Middle East, separated by a religion. Therefore, the ideological infiltration of the United States is half the effort, but the emergence of the Internet has directly allowed the United States to bypass religious organizations and instill ideas into the minds of the people at the bottom.
Compared with the credit of the Internet, the ideological infiltration work that the United States has done in the past few decades is simply insignificant.
This is not the author's alarmism. In 2011, the United States used the Internet to incite the people at the bottom of the Middle East, setting off a vigorous Arab Spring.
Those people are holding high the banner of freedom and democracy in the United States, not the traditional religious banner of the Middle East.
The 911 incident was seen by the world as bin Laden's challenge to the United States, but in the author's view, it was just bin Laden's desperate struggle in the face of the helplessness of the United States.
Because the tide of the Internet revolution is mighty, he can't stop it at all, so he has to block the car with his mantis arm.
Gaddafi. From this point of view, bin Laden has a much higher vision than those leaders in the Middle East, such as Gaddafi, Mubarak, and Assad.
These people are afraid that when they are swept away by the Arab Spring, they do not know how they died.
But bin Laden's actions do not deserve our recognition. 911 was nothing but killing ordinary people in the United States and causing panic to the people of the world. Nor can it stop the expansion of US hegemony in the slightest.
On the contrary, it has become an excuse for the expansion of the United States, and even the fact that he can live so long is the result of the deliberate connivance of some people.
After the 911 incident, bin Laden also knew that he had fought with the United States, so he hurried back to Afghanistan, where he had fought, and obtained the asylum of the Taliban regime.
The Taliban regime is quite close to bin Laden ideologically, and the newborn calf is not afraid of tigers, and does not know the height of the sky, but it was killed by the United States, and bin Laden had no choice but to hide in Afghanistan.
But the Americans had already occupied the whole of Afghanistan, and he was chased around like a street rat, and finally ran straight to Afghanistan's neighbor Pakistan.
How did you get to Pakistan? Isn't he afraid that Pakistan will arrest him?
This is because Pakistan, like Afghanistan, is a good fit for bin Laden to hide.
There are three strange agencies in Asia, namely Japan's Tokyo Special Investigation Department, South Korea's Public Prosecutor's Office, and Pakistan's Tri-Service Intelligence Bureau. They are said to be strange because they are all uncontrolled** institutions.
Pakistan can tolerate this because the ISI does have two brushes.
Pakistan is a country that has survived the clutches of India thanks to the tri-service intelligence bureau.
It is precisely because of his existence that Pakistan is able to have an absolute superiority in intelligence work when it is absolutely militarily inferior to India.
The fact that the Intelligence Bureau of the three services can have such great achievements is inseparable from one of his special skills, that is, Gu cultivation. First raise a lot of messy *** The so-called snakes have snake paths, rats have rat paths, and these people are really helpful for intelligence gathering.
And Pakistan** can't control these people at all, but is attacked by someone every once in a while.
After bin Laden came to Pakistan, he didn't need to use **, he didn't need the Internet, and he lived in a simple place. There is also a vast sea of *** to cover him, and all the high-tech means of the United States are ineffective against him. But he ended up planting on that.
The United States found that there was a Pakistani family that never hit **, nor did they throw garbage directly at the door like ordinary people, but instead cleaned up neatly and dragged it to the suburbs to burn it.
As a result, after some exploration, he actually found the big fish bin Laden.
In order to be sure, the United States directly sent a Navy SEAL team to raid bin Laden's residence.
Osama bin Laden's two sons were shot dead indiscriminately, and bin Laden's wife had her legs broken by bullets to protect him.
Waiting for the reaction, bin Laden tried to go back to the room and resist with a gun, but was shot in the head by the Navy SEALs. **10,000 Fans Incentive Plan
