Since the defeat of Afghanistan by the United States, it means that the era of Western hegemony intervening in the region has come to an end, but the United States does not intend to stop there, although it does not continue to personally carry out military invasions, but uses the method of "human war" to achieve its goals.
The essence of the Russia-Ukraine conflict is that NATO wants to carry out the sixth eastward expansion, using Ukraine to fight a war against Russia, and the United States itself will enlist the entire Western world to provide support in the back. In addition, the United States is also trying to replicate the "Ukrainian model" in the Asia-Pacific region and provoke a war against China.
According to foreign media analysis, for Washington, if it wants to seize leadership based on global strategy, it is in the interests of the United States to play a strategy to get involved in a war with the "biggest threat" like China and curb China's development speed.
This is also why after the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, the United States has frequently warned and sanctioned China.
To that end, the Philippines is one of the important pawns of the United States. Through the U.S.-Philippines Mutual Defense Treaty, the United States has strengthened the Philippines' military strength, provided military support, and instigated the Philippines to stir up trouble in the South China Sea.
It's just that the United States overestimates its own capabilities and underestimates the resilience of other targeted countries. Russia withstood the pressure of the United States and the West, and gradually occupied the battlefield advantage, so that the United States' plan to use Ukraine to direct Russia failed; Although the Philippines has the support of the United States and has obvious provocative intentions, it is a small country after all, and it has no energy to go head-to-head with China, and its attitude has been somewhat restrained.
At a time when the United States is busy with turmoil in the Middle East, the Philippines has declared that the South China Sea issue "does not require the United States to intervene" in regional affairs.
It is worth mentioning that the situation in Asia and Europe is also very different, although Japan, South Korea, Australia and other countries are in the US camp, but they are unwilling to act as the first pawn, unlike the European Union to take the lead in the charge, which makes the United States' "boomerang" go around in a circle and stick to itself.
However, what makes the United States most uncomfortable is the turmoil in the Middle East. Iran and the armed forces it supports use the same way to counter the conflict provoked by the United States through Israel's hand, so that the United States cannot step down.
At present, the United States is directly fighting against seven countries and organizations: Russia, Iran, Syria, Palestine, Hamas, Yemen's Houthis, Iraqi militias, and Allah in Lebanon.
Although the United States and Britain have launched air strikes on Yemen, multiple rounds of cruise missile strikes against the Houthis and Xining, and attacks on Islamic militia forces that have attacked US military bases in Syria and Iraq, there are concerns that the conflict could expand to the entire Middle East.
In general, the United States does not want to end up in person, and wants to continue to control the world in the way of the ** human war, but it did not expect to let itself be deeply involved in the ** human war and be stuck by Eastern Europe and the Middle East. Under these circumstances, is the United States still capable of doing things in Asia? Moreover, with Ukraine as a lesson from the past, who wants to shed blood for the United States without any interests?
