The possible consequences after the war between Russia and Ukraine are all related to the United States. What does Russia's fall mean to the United States and China?
More than a week has passed since Russia and Ukraine started the war. Compared to the United States in just 18 minutes, Libya is paralyzed, Putin is still merciless. As he has always said, he only wants to attack Ukraine's military facilities and does not want to hurt innocent civilians. Although Russia has been very restrained, from the moment when Russia and Ukraine started the war, no matter what the result is, it will inevitably have an impact on the existing order in the world, resulting in a series of consequences.
The first consequence, the moment when Russia and Ukraine started the war, the United States took a big step forward in Europe's goal of " de-Russia ". By making other European countries isolate and hostile to Russia, it can continue to solidify Europe's current " Cold War " structure and sow the seeds of contradictions and conflicts. Why does Russia disagree with Ukraine's joining NATO ? Why does the United States work hard to bring Ukraine into NATO? First of all, it is necessary to clarify that NATO was a product of the Cold War from the beginning, used to confront Warsaw Pact led by the Soviet Union. The Cold War ended The Soviet Union collapsed . NATO, which should have disappeared, was packaged as an international security organization by Western forces, not only continued to exist or even developed stronger and stronger.
The purpose of the United States retaining NATO is very simple, to sow the seeds of opposition in Europe, because a united Europe will pose a threat to it, and Russia is the "enemy" carefully selected by the United States. Therefore, even though Russia tried to join NATO three times in 2001, 2004 and 2008, it was rejected. Russia, which was already disheartened with the Western camp, was actively or passively pushed to the opposition of Western countries after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict broke out. It can be seen that after the outbreak of the conflict, Russia and the European side have been sanctioned continuously, and cuts in various aspects such as economy and politics have forced both sides to seek new ways out, gradually reducing their dependence on each other, while the Cold War-style confrontation has been consolidated and strengthened, changing the international political structure.
The second consequence, since the war between Russia and Ukraine, the shamelessness and hypocrisy of the West have been fully exposed, allowing people to see clearly that the so-called freedom and democracy are just lies whitewashed by Western countries. In 2003, the United States invaded Iraq under the name of "quelling violence in Iraq and Afghanistan and accelerating the reconstruction of the two countries". In 2011, Hillary led a color revolution called "Arab Spring", causing countless countries in Africa and Middle East to fall into civil war. Since 2012, the United States and NATO countries have continuously bombed Syria and Damascus . Now Americans have come out and say that Russia's "invasion" of a sovereign state is a war crime, but they do not mention any crimes they committed more than two hundred years ago.
It can be seen that the freedom and democracy utopia built by Western countries are just weapons used to impact the values and ideology of other countries. Since Russia launched its military operations, more and more countries including North Korea, Cuba , Pakistan , etc. have begun to awaken and gradually realize that the third world in the Western vision is derogatory and does not have subjectivity. After the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, the Western world will have to spend more energy to pay attention to Russia. The Third World is likely to take this opportunity to complete the awakening of ideas and form new forces.
The third consequence is that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict is not only a matter of Europe, but also a matter of the world. The retreat between the United States and NATO on the Ukraine issue in the early stage has made many allies uneasy. Countries that are highly dependent on the United States in terms of military and security will definitely increase their arms spending in the future when facing a tense world situation. In addition, the United States itself is constantly increasing its military support for some countries due to the need to impose sanctions on Russia and even China.During this period, Japan attempted to deploy nuclear weapon . The German army announced a significant increase in defense spending. For some ambitious countries, they will definitely take this opportunity to develop military and improve their military, which will inevitably increase security conflicts and affect international geopolitical security.
Politics is uncontrollable. The United States seems to benefit from the Russian-Ukrainian issue, but if Russia really falls, the United States will not have a good time either. First of all, the United States' own energy will be affected, which is why the United States has imposed large-scale financial sanctions on Russia, but has taken very little action in the energy field. Secondly, if Russia really falls, the United States has overdrawn its credit in this battle. In order to get the situation back, it must win back a game in the Indo-Pacific region, that is, against China. However, frequently provoking disputes and choosing to confront China, how likely will the United States win? Third, Putin has now decided to increase the level of nuclear deterrence. At that time, if Russia is forced by the United States and other Western countries, it is possible to start the nuclear war before falling down. At that time, as the leader, the United States will bear the brunt of being attacked by Russia.
In addition, various signs indicate that after Russia, the next target of the United States is China. The United States is likely to continue to use this set of things used in Ukraine, because the Russian-Ukrainian issue is highly similar to the Taiwan Strait issue. In order to reduce losses, China will definitely want to make a quick decision, and the United States can use delay tactics to drag down China. Therefore, it seems that China is out of the situation in Russia and Ukraine, but in fact, China should be ready to deal with various situations that may occur in the future. Not only the Taiwan Strait, but also the old tricks commonly used by Western countries, such as human rights, economic sanctions , etc. Only by being prepared can China minimize the losses caused by confrontation when it is not spared, and can it crush the conspiracy of Western countries such as the United States.
