Things are not good for the United States, the hegemony has encountered internal and external troubles, and it has fallen into a century-old prestige crisis!
While 1.4 billion Chinese are immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the Spring Festival, the United States, far across the ocean, is facing a critical moment when its century-old empire has turned from prosperity to decline. At present, an armed confrontation broke out at the border between the United States federal ** and Texas**, and Biden and Trump stood in line respectively, causing **concern. It seems to be a contradiction between Texas and the federal government on the issue of immigration, but in fact it is a deep conflict in the distribution of power and interests. This can't help but make people think: although there are battlefields such as Russia and Ukraine, and the Middle East that can be used to divert internal contradictions, the internal problems of the United States can no longer be concealed.
At this time, the United States is not only facing internal troubles, but also external troubles. According to US media reports, the US ** Command issued a statement saying that a drone attacked the US military base in Jordan, resulting in the death of 3 US soldiers and the wounding of 25 others. This event fundamentally changed the current situation in the Middle East and in the United States, because for the United States, life and death are two very different concepts. The United States has shown that the top brass does not seem to care too much about the lives of mercenaries, but the US military, as a representative of the country, will cause a great impact on the country with every soldier who sacrifices his or her life. In order to calm the anger of the domestic population, the US military will inevitably take retaliatory measures. However, problems followed, as multiple rounds of U.S. airstrikes against Iranian-backed militant groups did not have the desired effect, but instead inspired more violent attacks. Coupled with internal and external troubles, US hegemony is facing not only internal conflicts, but also severe tests from the Middle East.
What happened in Iraq and Texas may seem unrelated, but they invariably paved the way for the decline of American hegemony. More than 2,000 years ago, Jiang Taigong once said in "Sima Law": "If you are warlike, you will die, and if you forget to fight, you will be in danger." "Looking back at the more than 200 years of history of the United States, from the Revolutionary War to the Civil War, and then to a series of wars after World War II, it was either fighting or preparing for war. War has become a part of the United States, whether it is political, economic, military or cultural, it is permeated with the elements of war. This belligerent mindset was particularly pronounced in the aftermath of World War II, and the Middle East, which was deeply affected by the war crimes of the United States, suffered the most. At that time, the United States established a military hegemony that shocked the world through many wars in the Middle East. Since then, however, the United States has not established a viable order in the Middle East, but has contributed to the chaos. The United States should bear the main responsibility for Israel's arrogance today.
The thinking of a belligerent country is the thinking of war. Whether internally or externally, the United States**, in the face of all contradictions, seems to think only of the means of war, and this is precisely the pity of the United States. The problem, however, is that the enemy the United States is no longer facing the small countries of the Middle East, but a rising superpower. The United States cannot, dare not, and is unable to wage war, resulting in internal contradictions that cannot be transferred through foreign wars, and it is only a matter of time before they erupt. The first round of collapse of US hegemony has already begun, and once the century-old prestige is gone, the belligerent will surely die, and this may be the end of the United States.
