U.S. ** Biden said he would strike hard at Russia. On the 2nd anniversary of the start of the Russia-Ukraine war, the United States will impose more than 500 new sanctions on Russia to commemorate Navalny's death, the United States said. to all areas of Russia, including financial institutions, the defense industrial complex, energy companies, and so on. Natural persons associated with Navalny** are also punished, as well as several companies that do business with Russia, including several Chinese companies. At the same time, Biden also expressed his support for independent news organizations around the world, as well as Democrats.
Never stop until Russia is completely destroyed.
This time, the United States has taken two measures against Russia, one of which is to further attack Russia's military strength. As we all know, after the Russian-Ukrainian war, Putin decisively "looked east" and carried out economic and trade exchanges with China, maintained the position of a neutral country, and did not sell arms to Russia, but then, Russia set its sights on Iran, North Korea and other countries, because they provided Russia with a large amount of arms, which made the United States and the West deeply jealous of them, so the United States will impose sanctions on them.
Second, the United States wants to "avenge" Navalny, Russia's most famous opposition leader in more than a decade. Navalny is Russia's most famous "**He often causes trouble in Putin's**, and the United States regards him as a key figure in Russia's "color revolution", but Navalny's performance is very bad, he can't compete with Putin at all, and the only thing he can do is to create some ** activities and defraud some funds. The United States will not be ignorant of this, but they can only choose Navalny. Now that this person is dead, many European and American politicians will have lost all their funds and targets, and the United States will naturally impose sanctions on him in order to vent his hatred.
Navalny, a well-known opposition party in Russia.
But the question is, will the United States have an effect in doing so? Victoria Nuland, U.S. assistant secretary of state, who staged a military coup in Ukraine in 2014, vowed that the sanctions would be "devastating" for Russia. But in fact, in the past two years, the United States and Western countries have imposed more than 14,000 sanctions on Russia, setting a new record since the United States proposed the "long-arm jurisdiction" policy.
In the past two years, Russia has withstood 14,000 sanctions, but it has still won a series of victories in the war between Russia and Ukraine, while their country has not been affected much, is this because the United States has too few restrictions on them, or is their resilience too good? In fact, punishment is a way of taking the enemy by surprise and catching the enemy off guard. Take the beginning of the Russian-Ukrainian war, Ukraine blocked the attack of the ** people, which made Western countries full of confidence, but Russia did not expect that the war would become so difficult, and the United States and Europe imposed various sanctions on Russia, driving Russia out of the dollar system, which dealt a big blow to Russia's economy.
The United States and Europe have imposed a large number of sanctions on Russia, which has adversely affected its economy.
But it is a pity that this "financial nuclear bomb" of the United States cannot even reverse the Russian economy for more than 20 years, let alone turn the ruble into a piece of waste paper. Now that Russia has recovered its vitality and has carried out all-round alliances with China, it is impossible for the United States to use economic means to do so. Moreover, their so-called joint sanctions against Iran and North Korea are simply in vain. Iran has been suppressed by the United States for decades, and North Korea has been blockaded, and for them, this punishment is nothing, at most, it is just a deal with Russia, and there is nothing to be afraid of.
And what Biden said about the punishment of Russia for Navalny's death, as well as support for the free press and democrats around the world, are understandable, but now, the contradictions between Palestine and Israel have not been resolved, and all this seems too false. Isn't it a manifestation of the double standards of the United States that the United States cares so much about even one Russia" and turns a blind eye to the deaths of thousands of innocent people and a large number of journalists in Gaza? By the way, just a few days ago, at the G20 summit, Blinken refused to immediately implement a truce agreement in Gaza, which was strongly condemned by South Africa, Brazil and Australia.
Lula and Blinken.
Well, back to the U.S. sanctions against Iran, this order from the White House is very long, more than 200 sheets of paper, I scanned it cursoryly, and found a strange place. The United States has imposed sweeping sanctions on many of Russia's vital industries, but has not imposed a comprehensive blockade on Russia's second-largest industry, the steel industry. For the banking and energy companies in Russia, they also did not take drastic measures, only against the military-industrial sector. You can think that the Americans are just trying to weaken Russia's combat power, but on the other hand, the United States is actually preparing itself for the future.
2 years ago, when the United States and Western countries began to impose sanctions on Russia, many of them were **, and the United States has been secretly conducting ** with Russia, mainly oil, enriched uranium and other metals. As we just mentioned, those are real currencies, and Americans don't want them, and a lot of people want them. Of course, the United States will not let go of this opportunity, so they secretly bought these equipment despite the ban.
On the surface, the righteousness is awe-inspiring, but behind the scenes, the United States continues to buy after imposing sanctions on Russia.
The economic situation of the United States is even worse today than it was two years ago, and no one knows when it will be able to repay this debt. Since 2022, we have begun to restrict the import of rare earths, which is a headache for the United States, which is why the United States cannot go to war with Russia.
Some may say that if Biden can't deliver a full-scale strike on Russia, why is there such a stir? The reason is simple, it is to run for the election**. You can also see Biden swearing Putin at a fundraiser. As soon as he said a word, he was interrupted by other Democrats, who believed that Biden did not have any "diplomatic intentions" and was just preparing for the election.
Biden's sanctions against Americans are just for them to see.
Therefore, this "devastating" punishment is a good choice for the ** election in the United States. Biden wants to show his strength in front of Russia, firstly, it can make up for the adverse consequences of the defeat in the Ukrainian war, and secondly, it can also show that although Biden is 81 years old, he has not completely lost his mind. But this does not solve the problem fundamentally, and the delay in approving the rescue plan for Ukraine by the US Congress is likely to make Biden suffer another Waterloo in the Russia-Ukraine war.
