According to the Global Times, on the second anniversary of the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Biden announced a new round of sanctions against Russia on the 23rd to increase pressure on Moscow.
The measures against 500 targets this time have been called "devastating" sanctions. To this, Putin's response was: Russia wants to strengthen its military in every possible way.
Biden began to spend money in order to **, and Europe also increased the stakes. But the United States and Europe are afraid that they will once again shoot themselves in the foot.
The United States and Europe have been assisting Ukraine for two years and have still not defeated Russia despite strong sanctions. The current situation, on the contrary, is that Ukraine is gradually retreating, which is enough to show the strength of Russia.
In addition, Russia released economic data for 2023, and instead of collapsing as expected in Europe and the United States, its GDP has achieved 36% growth.
It can be seen that the economic sanctions imposed by the United States and Europe on Russia have not played a role.
In short, Russia was not defeated militarily, and it did not play a deterrent role economically.
As the saying goes, "What doesn't kill me will make me stronger." ”
If the United States and Europe cannot contain and defeat Russia, then they will face a stronger counterattack from Russia.
Let's sit back and wait for **, how the United States and Europe will once again lift a stone to shoot themselves in the foot.
