Biden Makes America Weak? NATO may be outdated, Kissinger: It is not wise to face China and Russia at the same time.
Lao Bai provoked all kinds of contradictions around the world, especially in Ukraine to instigate Zelensky to confront Russia; At the same time, he has been harassing us a lot lately. The original purpose was to divert the attention of the domestic population while weakening what he called a potential adversary. However, the current situation seems to be out of Lao Bai's control.
Lao Bai's goal of weakening Russia and diverting contradictions was not achieved in the protracted war.
On the contrary, he himself has become the focus of complaints in the United States and the world, and recently many important figures, including the former ** Trump and the veterans and personalities of several dynasties, have made very unceremonious criticism of this American **, causing Lao Bai's influence to decline again.
After Lao Bai came to powerHe has been working on how to transform his internal contradictions into external contradictionsFor this reason, he did not hesitate to challenge Putin in the west while pointing fingers at us in the east, which is also the "traditional program" of the United States. However, this time the old trick is obviously the wrong one.
In the Russian direction, Putin withstood the pressure of the West and repelled the Ukrainian army and the NATO mercenaries who supported the Ukrainian army on the battlefield; At the same time, Russia has given the West a blow in the face in the counter-sanctions, not only bringing many European countries into a crisis, but also separating European countries from the United States.
The most important thing is under the conflict between Russia and UkraineThe United States itself is spending a lot of money to help Ukraine fight the war, which is obviously not good news for the United States, which is already in a recession.
And on the Eastern front, the adventurous moves of the United States, especially Pelosi, have recently caused tremendous pressure, and some even speculate that it could trigger a new war. But this has not brought much benefit to the United States, on the contrary, their hostility will only cost them more benefits.
Because the Chinese don't like to cooperate with them now, so old worshipIt's thankless on both the east and the west.
But Lao Bai went his own way in this matter, and it failed to change the current difficult situation. As a result, the American people are having a very hard time, and they are now facing severe oil prices**, inflation, the spread of the coronavirus, monkeypox, and rising crime rates.
Therefore, Lao Bai's practice of diverting contradictions did not make Americans divert contradictions, but made them more resistant.
Recent polls show that Lao Bai has the lowest approval ratingIt has fallen to about 30%., which is much lower than Trump's 39% that year. There is also a poll that showsA third of Americans even believe that they need to pick up a gun as soon as possible to rebel against the rule of the White House, because they believe that Lao Bai's team is corrupt. The signal for this is very unusual.
We know that guns are allowed in the United States, and if these voters do choose to do so, it will be an irreparable loss for the United States.
In the face of the current chaos in the United States and the fact that Lao Bai continues to "play with fire" on international issues, and even becomes addicted to "playing with fire".Many U.S. politicians have come forward to criticize Lao Bai。The first is Lao Bai's sworn enemy Trump.
When Trump was doing **, everyone always felt that he was unreliable. However, since Trump**, his words have become more and more logicalFor example, he recently called Pelosi a "crazy woman"., and the statement that the greatest threat to the United States comes from within the United States is clearly quite insightful.
As for Lao Bai, a sworn enemy, Trump has been surprising recently.
Trump has been attacking Lao Bai for being old, saying that he is not suitable for the position of **; And now Trump believes that Lao Bai has made the United States weaker. Trump's claim is not unfounded, he saidIf he were still the first of the United States, then Putin would not have attacked Ukraine; There is no need for the current United States to spend American money for the war in Ukraine.
Now let's consider Trump's words, and he still has some truth in saying this.
BecauseDuring his presidency, Trump has tried to improve relations with Russia, and did not carry out direct and strong provocations against Russia. So as long as Lao Bai does not replace him, Putin will either not launch a special military operation against Ukraine, or at least not for the time being. This possibility is still quite high.
Trump also said that the United States is now being used by Europe.
Because the United States has invested a lot of money in Ukraine, and the European side has not invested a lot of money. If he were still American, he would not have allowed this to happen at allHe will make Europe invest as much or more money as the United States。We also believe that Trump is not lying.
Because Trump is not always shouting international or something like Lao Bai, Trump's slogan is very simple, that is, no matter whatAmerica First。To this end, he did not hesitate to offend his European partners.
Regarding the matter of providing support to Ukraine, as long as Trump continues to be "in charge", it is estimated that he will indeed put more pressure on European partners, rather than on the shoulders of the United States itself. Trump not only criticized Lao Bai in all aspects, but also concludedIt took less than two years for Lao Bai to turn the United States into a poor country, and people no longer respect the United States.
Regardless of whether Trump's statement is right or wrong, it is a real thing that the United States has become poor and disrespected by the world.
Not only did Trump come out to criticize Lao Bai, but Kissinger, the "veteran of several dynasties" in the United States, was also very dissatisfied with the performance of this **.
A few days ago, he said that it is inappropriate to endlessly confront the East, and I hope that the current Lao Bai team will not engage in endless confrontation. However, Lao Bai did not take Kissinger's words seriously, and in fact he did not even refer to Kissinger's opinion.
Kissinger himself said in his speech that almost all previous leaders would ask him about many related matters, especially on international affairs. However, even though Lao Bai was very familiar with him, he was Kissinger's old colleague before, but after Lao Bai came to power, he did not come to him for advice until now.
I didn't even talk to this old colleague about each other. It can be seen that Lao Bai does not regard Kissinger as a thing at all.
And Kissinger recently came out to comment on Lao Bai's behavior. It stands to reason that since people are unwilling to deal with him, there is no need for Kissinger to come out at this time. But now the United States really can't stand it, especially some of Lao Bai's risky behaviors, which makes Kissinger feel that he needs to come out and do something.
In an interview with Germany, he said that the current strategy of the United States is very unsuccessful, and in fact it is unwise.
He said in an interviewIf Lao Bai's team further escalates the conflict between Russia and Ukraine into a direct war by the United States against Russia, while Lao Bai still maintains a hostile attitude towards the East, then this choice is not wise. Kissinger is worried about the final outcome of the Russia-Ukraine war.
He wondered if Russia, after the end of this war, would find a reasonable position to get along with Europe, or become an Asian outpost on the border with Europe?
At the same time Kissinger alsoVery scared that the situation would eventually get out of hand。He said that the speed of scientific and technological development of modern mankind has far exceeded the speed of people's political control over it. That is to say, the development of various advanced technologies and the use of these advanced technologies among the people have made it possibleNow society has lost sufficient control over the development of the situation.
I have to say that Kissinger is still very sophisticated, especially in the current situation, loss of control has almost become the most concerned thing for many people. In particular, the presence of nuclear weapons makes it more difficult to control the overall situation.
When asked by a reporter whether the United States has enough strength to face both China and Russia at the same time, Kissinger replied, he said:This is very unwise。VisibleAlthough Kissinger is much older than Lao Bai, his mind and strategic thinking are much higher than Lao Bai.
The United States itself has also begun to do so. Recently, the U.S. Foreign Policy Magazine ** published an article sayingNATO is an outdated and expensive military allianceUnable to meet the challenges of modern times. The article criticizes the US approach to controlling Europe with NATO, arguing that it is an extravagant and ineffective thing.
Why would they call NATO obsolete? Because NATO was a product of the struggle for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union, it was to deal with the challenge of the Warsaw Pact at that time.
Now that the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact no longer exist, NATO still exists, and still uses the Cold War mentality of the past to deal with all the countries they want to deal with. This is the role that NATO is playing in the conflict in Ukraine. However, it is clear that NATO did not achieve much this time and has made itself a joke again and again.
The first is that NATO's sanctions on others hurt itself. Restrictions on Russia's energy and grain exports have led to a serious energy crisis in the NATO countries themselves, as well as a possible food crisis.
And then their military support didn't work, in Trump's words, they sent things over, and then they were consumed by Russia. Countless NATO countries have invested a lot of money in Ukraine, and even did not hesitate to send some ** to Ukraine as well, butTurned around and was seized by Russia and became part of Russia.
So the Americans' complaints that NATO is outdated are not groundless.
I have to say that after Lao Bai came to power, although he "played with fire" everywhere and behaved more fanatically than Trump back then, in factHis performance has not only dissatisfied the world, but also his voters in the United States。Back then, we thought Trump was unreliable enough, but judging from the current situationTrump is still much more reliable than Lao Bai!
