The successive defeats of the Ukrainian army on two fronts between Russia and Ukraine, and the eventual victory of Russia, have made Western countries increasingly worried. France recently held a "pro-Ukraine summit" in Paris, at which France's Macron made it clear that he would not send troops to Ukraine.
Macron's speech provoked a huge reaction in the world and raised fears of a large-scale military conflict between NATO and Russia. British Prime Minister Sunak, Swedish Prime Minister Christersson, and German Prime Minister Olaf Scholz all "slapped Macron in the face", declaring that no one supports a war with Ukraine.
Marina Le Pen, a lawmaker from France's largest opposition party, the National Front, made it clear that Macron "put the lives of his own people at risk." At the same time, a spokeswoman for Russia*** Zakharova said that Macron had absolutely no idea what he was talking about. At the moment, the United States is responding to the remarks made by Macron.
A number of White House, ** and Defense Department spokesmen have repeatedly stressed that the United States will "distance relations" with Macron and will not send troops to Ukraine. Biden believes that a new round of troops to provide assistance to Ukraine is a priority.
From this point of view, Macron's "tentative" move undoubtedly exposes the essence of this NATO. The North Atlantic Treaty Organization, together with Sweden, was held in the three countries of Germany, Poland and the Baltic region"The largest since the Cold War"of military exercises. During this exercise, veterans of the North Atlantic Treaty clearly saw Russia as a potential adversary.
In addition, the British Navy also conducted a ballistic test of the Trident against Russia in Florida waters. After jumping out of the water, a 40-ton "Trident" ballistic missile lost power and fell into the sea, causing the British authorities to lose face. But despite this, the British insisted that Britain had made the "right" decision on the nuclear issue.
Macron's statement about "going to Ukraine" was denied by the West, as well as the failure of the British Trident test launch, which is very reminiscent of the easing of external pressure on Russia. In fact, as the leader of the North Atlantic Treaty, the United States was not confident in defeating Russia in a ground war.
This is done in the context of the United States providing Ukraine with a large number of troops. The 37th Brigade of the Ukrainian Army is trained by the United States itself, equipped with a variety of American**, and is one of the nine top NATO forces in Ukraine. According to people familiar with the matter, the commanders of the 37th Brigade of Ukraine all speak English, and some of the pastors in the unit speak with American accents.
However, the United States, which once had high hopes, suffered a heavy blow in the ** against Russia. In an interview with reporters, the commander of the 37th Army of the Ukrainian army, Oleksand, told the press that the United States had taught Ukrainian troops to conduct "law and order warfare", but this approach did not work at all.
Mr. Oleksandr said his men were disgusted by the unreliable American commander. Officers of the U.S. 37th Brigade often do unimaginable moves, such as putting new recruits who joined the fight only weeks ago at the front and Ukrainian soldiers rushing into minefields with MaxXpro "vigilante" armored vehicles.
It is conceivable that the orders issued by the American commander cost the Ukrainian forces dearly. According to Oleksander, the 37th Brigade of the Ukrainian Army has been reorganized into three batches, and a considerable part of them are newly recruited recruits. In other words, this "ace brigade" known as the "North Atlantic Treaty Organization" has been defeated for three consecutive days.
The encounter with the 37th Brigade of the Ukrainian Army dealt a heavy blow to the United States. According to a number of military personnel, the United States has been fighting a "public security war" around the world for 20 years, specifically picking "soft persimmons" to attack, causing many American ** people's combat effectiveness to plummet, and even forgetting conventional battles.
The experience of the "law and order war" of American forces in Iraq against Afghanistan proved unsuitable for use in medium-sized combat. The United States is now aware of this and is reacting accordingly.
According to the Russian Sputnik news agency on February 28, in order to change the strategy of "great power confrontation", the US defense system has cut 24,000 military positions, which means that the military strength has been cut by about 5%.
Most of the jobs cut in the U.S. defense sector are related to "counterinsurgency overseas." In Iraq and Afghanistan, they played an important role in the "war on law and order", but now these roles are worthless.
To this end, the United States has made some small-scale changes in the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In this case, it will be difficult for Biden to reconcile with Macron's claim of "sending troops to Ukraine".
