Putin's words shocked Europe and made India take the opportunity to make the sale public
From a global perspective, a series of recent events that have shaken the world have clearly demonstrated the magnificence of today's world. Focusing on the capture of Avdeyevka by the Russian army, Putin, after listening to Shoigu's victory report, happily said: "This is a decisive victory." ”
Avdeyevka, a military fortress carefully constructed by Ukraine, convinced Zelensky that the Ukrainian army could successfully resist the Russian offensive, so that the retreat strategy was lacking and there was a lack of follow-up defense.
As a result, when General Syrsky issued the retreat order, the rout of the Ukrainian army appeared like a tide, and the abandonment site released by the Russian army was even worse. Coincidentally, all this happened during the German hosting of the Munich Security Conference, and Putin's remarks hit a nerve-wrenching nerve in Europe.
Why are European leaders so passionate? German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, for example, urged all EU member states to follow the example of France and Germany in signing a security agreement with Ukraine.
Danish Prime Minister Fraser Riksen took action, announcing that Denmark would selflessly provide all artillery, in order to urge European partners to show more support. Dutch Prime Minister Rutte, the popular candidate for NATO secretary general, stressed that Ukraine could not join NATO while the war was prolonged, but proposed a possible compromise.
This backlash stems from Europe's long-standing dependence on the United States for security, which has led to an urgent need to improve its defense capabilities. Denmark, for example, has a meagre number of army artillery, revealing the grim state of defense throughout Europe.
The situation is also not optimistic for other countries of the same size.
Europe has taken over the thorny situation of Ukraine and is trying to attract the attention of the United States, which seems unlikely to happen in the short term. However, when Russia's Putin deliberately puts pressure on Europe, I am afraid that many European politicians will panic and involuntarily worry.
It is surprising that in the midst of such tensions, one country has gone the opposite way and taken the initiative. That country is India, and they're selling it in the open market"Safety"。
At the Munich meeting, S Jaishankar, India's Prime Minister S Jaishankar, stressed that the BRICS countries are becoming increasingly attractive, and last year India had consulted about 30 countries on their intention to join, as they saw the potential value of BRICS cooperation.
Jaishankar's words exude confidence, as if he were the guardian of the BRICS. He made it clear that at a time of global turmoil, by joining the BRICS with India, he could say goodbye to his worries.
However, India's previous rhetoric of withdrawing from the BRICS to please the United States has made the United States quite unhappy, and even alluded to India's importance to Russia's rise. In a short period of time, Russia's victory on the battlefield has triggered a drastic change in the world pattern.
It is foreseeable that 2024 will be a crucial year for turbulent turning points in the long river of history, and the turbulence will give birth to profound changes in history.
