The Soviet Union died in the United States? Instead of a gravedigger?
In 1991, the collapse of the Soviet Union shocked the world and countries turned to the capitalist camp. It is widely believed that the main culprit for the collapse of the USSR was the United States.
This is not surprising, since since the United States and the Soviet Union have been fighting for global hegemony since the end of World War II. They competed fiercely in many aspects such as politics, military, culture, and even social systems.
With the collapse of the Soviet Union, this competition for hegemony between the United States and the Soviet Union seemed to have come to a conclusion. Despite its relative weakness, the Soviet Union still insisted on an arms race with the United States, and this fierce competition forced the Soviet Union to sacrifice other industries such as agriculture and light industry.
Although the Soviet Union was sometimes in a dominant position in the arms race, in retrospect, it was found that the Soviet Union was left with the shame of heavy industry, which was also the decisive factor that led to the collapse of the Soviet Union.
During the period of competition with the Soviet Union, the United States showed wolf-like tenacity and endurance; After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States revealed the greedy nature of hyenas. Before the Soviet Union was buried, the United States began to encroach on its territory, not only disintegrating the Soviet Union's political power in Europe, but also appropriating a large amount of Soviet state-owned assets for itself, adding to the American dream.
The United States has now risen to a higher level of military and economic strength, but without competitors, the desolation of seeking defeat arises spontaneously. Under such circumstances, the United States began to ponder a deeper question: What is the way forward?
Do you want to take the initiative to embrace the world, or do you wait for the world to embrace you?
Do you think it's a philosophical dilemma, but in reality, the United States is facing a question of life and death? In order to understand this question, we have to delve into the history of the United States and its rivalry with the USSR.
Since its founding, the United States has upheld extreme national egoism, which has enabled the United States to rapidly rise to become a powerful country in the world. To put it simply, the rise of the United States was built on brutal wars and killings, because they were not constrained by so-called universal values and political correctness, and never thought of pandering to the world.
A typical example is the late American Civil War, when the Northern army had lost patience and broke through their own moral bottom line. In order to prevent the ** of the Southern Army, they robbed the pigs, horses, cattle and sheep, military grain and grass in the places they passed, burned down the towns, villages, warehouses and factories, and killed those who resisted or did not resist but did not like the eyes.
The northern army wantonly applied the brutal methods learned by the Eight-Nation Alliance at the Old Summer Palace to its unarmed compatriots, ignoring the pleads of thousands of old and weak women and children.
The results were immediate, and the Northern Army was overwhelmed on the battlefield and quickly won the final victory of the Civil War. The Japanese saw and remembered the US approach, and perfectly inherited and carried forward this "three-light" policy in World War II.
The victory in the American Civil War cleared the way for the development of American capitalism and laid the foundation for the United States to become one of the world's great powers. However, the cruelty shown by the United States during the Civil War has also become a consistent means for the United States to deal with the enemy in the future.
At the very beginning of its independence, the United States had a gene that made it display a selfish and blindly xenophobic national policy. The country was founded by a group of British "outcasts" and gold diggers against the backdrop of the global hegemony of the empire on which the sun never sets.
They believe in the ** religion and bind the newcomers by enacting relevant laws. Whether you're Spanish or French, blonde or square-nosed, you'll have to follow the rules and culture they set when you step into the land.
Paradoxically, however, the United States, in a hurry to get rid of British rule at the time, urgently needed enough personnel to form its own military forces. However, the native Indians were too conservative and saw Anglo-Americans as oppressors for effective mobilization.
Therefore, the United States must be open to European immigrants of other ethnic groups in order to strengthen its military power.
In that crazy era, the capitalist world was in a state of madness, and they all wanted to unite the people by emphasizing the theory of race, and even resorted to racial discrimination to consolidate their dominance.
The same was true of Hitler during World War II, who ** the Jews by elevating the status of the Germanic people in order to assert his authority at home. The United States, as a "racial melting pot", put forward the "color theory", that is, white supremacy, and more tolerant of whites from Europe.
They practiced apartheid, believing that as long as the United States was dominated by whites from Europe, it would perpetuate the national legacy. Driven by this thinking, they inflicted even more brutality on the local Indians, doubly enslaved blacks from Africa, and even treated the yellow race, especially the Manchus, as the dregs and inferior creatures of society.
While the Statue of Liberty in the United States shines brightly, its national cornerstone is not so glamorous. Beneath the cloak of freedom and equality, lies serious sin and prejudice, including cultural and racial discrimination, which form the cornerstone of America.
The United States could have lived a peaceful life with the help of its unique geographical location and self-interested ethnic policies, but the outbreak of World War II and the rise of the Soviet Union changed all that.
The Soviet Union's socialist slogans and commitment to equality and the elimination of exploitation attracted many countries to join it.
Sensing the threat, the United States began to change its self-interested national thinking, ostensibly abandoning its original values and adopting a pretense of democracy and embracing the world. He launched the "Marshall Plan" to aid Europe in a frenzy, trying to unite more forces against the powerful Soviet Union.
However, this practice is actually a subversion of the very foundation of the United States. In the 60s of the 20th century, the influence of the Soviet Union caused the left-wing ideology in the United States to sweep across the country.
The people at the bottom, seeing the power of the people's wave from the Soviet model, began to wake up and realize that they created the United States, and not that the United States made itself.
Therefore, they began to pursue "equality" and "fairness". In the process, Martin Luther King Jr. became the most famous exponent. His speech at the Lincoln Memorial, "I Have a Dream," advanced the struggle for civil rights among black people in the United States.
Ironically, Lincoln, who had always been "fighting for independence" for blacks, actually only wanted to win the war with greater public support, and did not really "worry about what blacks are anxious about, and worry about what blacks are worried about".
Against the backdrop of a tear in American society, Martin Luther King Jr., like Lincoln, was assassinated by racists. At the same time, the USSR was also politically in decline.
Czechoslovakia's "Prague Spring" reform philosophy touched on the core interests of the Soviet Union, leading the Soviet Union to send a group of heavily armed men to occupy the airfield only 6 kilometers from Prague in the middle of the night on August 20, 1968, and guide the Soviet giant transport plane carrying tanks to land.
When the citizens of Prague woke up in the early morning to find that their familiar homeland was in the hands of foreigners, and their leader, Dubcek, had been sent to Moscow, left-wing believers around the globe, especially in the United States, began to question so-called democracy and equality.
Under the cloak of democracy in the Soviet Union, there is an even more terrifying **and**. As the old saying goes,"If God doesn't take it, he will be blamed"。While the Soviet Union exported its political ideas to the United States, it was also influenced by Western culture.
By the 70s, the United States and the West had defeated the Soviet Union on the cultural battlefield through popular culture works, and finally dismantled the faith of the Soviet people.
The defeat of the USSR did not mean only the loss of faith and the disintegration of the state, the outcome of this war was not a winner for either side. Although the seeds of left-wing ideology sown by the Soviet Union in the United States have not reached the level of subverting the United States, they have always taken root and sprouted on American soil, and have become a hidden disease that is difficult for the United States to achieve.
Interestingly, the Soviet Union, which was buried by the United States with its own hands, ended up being its own gravedigger. When the United States became the world's sole superpower, it no longer needed to unite other countries against the Soviet Union, but instead had a transcendent sense of superiority.
After losing the balance of the Cold War, the United States turned to using dollar hegemony and military hegemony to harvest globally. But a domestic crisis quietly occurred, and left-wing ideas gradually took over.
In order to expand their support, politicians began to resort to similar tactics as Lincoln's, courting Asian, African and Latin Americans. The deep kneeling of Biden of the Democratic Party moved the African-American crowd, while the Republican Trump advocated "America First, white supremacy" and won a large number of white support.
Trump has even publicly accused Biden of being a "puppet of the radical left."
In the political wrestling, the United States is increasingly aggravated. On one side are lakeside villas, high-end red wines, and elite life, and on the other side are dropouts, drug abuse, underclass, and violence.
It is expected that by the mid-40s of the 21st century, whites will no longer dominate the American population, and the minority at the bottom of the grassroots will also have more voice. This has led to a denial of the predominance of the white community, triggering extreme violence against minorities.
However, today's America and minorities are no longer the same as they used to be, and whites can no longer bully and oppress them at will.
Although the Soviet Union had collapsed, in competition with the Soviet Union, the United States introduced Soviet ideology into its homeland, resulting in chaos in the American political structure. Under such circumstances, all ethnic groups in the United States, under the influence of left-wing ideology, will do their best to protect their rights and interests, which will inevitably lead to the serious tearing and fragmentation of the national and social identity of the United States.
