US President Biden said in an interview with CNN that he does not intend to talk to Putin about the Ukrainian issue at the upcoming G20 meeting. This statement can be said to have poured cold water on global media.
Previously, American public opinion, including former President Trump , all publicly shouted, saying that the current trend of escalating the Russian-Ukrainian war has brought risks to the world of World War III, and the United States should promote the Russian-Ukrainian peace talks as soon as possible.
Moscow also said not long ago that it does not refuse dialogue with the United States, but the premise is to be based on mutual respect and consideration of interests. Russia believes that talking is better than not talking.
Russia has released goodwill, and there are also calls for peace talks with Moscow at the American public opinion level. Everyone thought the United States would soften the attitude of the Russian-Ukraine war. But now President Biden's response is actually equivalent to overturning all previous views that the Russian-Ukraine conflict has reached a critical point and may show signs of easing.
In other words, Biden still insists on supporting Ukraine and Russia to continue to fight, even if this may lead to the direct conflict between the world war of and the nuclear-capable powers.
Many people may be puzzled. Is the United States really not afraid of direct conflict between NATO and Russia?
In fact, this matter can be understood from two aspects. First of all, from the perspective of the Russian-Ukraine war itself, public opinion previously believed that the Russian-Ukraine war was extremely tense, and a large part of the reason was hype by Western media and Ukraine won the counterattack on the eastern Ukraine.
In other words, in fact, everyone knows that in this conflict, only when Russia retreats without any retreat will the war escalate in full and even evolve into the risk of nuclear war . But now, with the Crimea Bridge being bombed and Russia uses thunder to strike Ukraine's infrastructure, causing huge damage to Ukraine, the truth about the Russian-Ukrainian battlefield has been revealed.
That is, although Ukraine has made progress on the ground battlefield because it has obtained weapons supported by Europe and the United States, from the perspective of the overall war, Ukraine is still at an absolute disadvantage.
Russia said, "We haven't taken the initiative yet." Perhaps it's a bit of a bragging suspicion, but it is undeniable that Russia still has strength in the war, at least it has not used long-range missile to attack Ukraine's rear at any cost, completely destroying Ukraine's war logistical capabilities.
Through this attack on the infrastructure of Ukraine, Russia has proved that it has this strength, but it just doesn't want to pay a greater price for it. But from the perspective of the United States, since Russia has not been forced into a corner and the Ukrainian army has not reached the point where it can force Russia to use the nuclear weapon , then what is the United States anxious about?
As the president of the United States, Biden must know the actual situation on the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine better than others. Therefore, his refusal to talk to Putin just proves that Russia still holds the initiative on the battlefield of Russia and Ukraine, and is far from having no way out.
Secondly, from the perspective of the game between Russia and the United States, the reason why there have been voices in the United States calling for peace talks and avoiding the escalation of war is mainly because of the expansion of the Russian-Ukrainian war and directly involved NATO.
In other words, the United States is still "wearing shoes" compared to Russia, so Americans do not intend to fight against Russia, but Biden obviously has different views, or different interests.
This war has become a landmark event during Biden's presidency. If the previous "resistance" of the US military's retreat from Afghanistan can still be blamed on Trump, then whether the US victory in the Russian-Ukrainian war can only be attributed to Biden and the Democratic Party.
Now if the United States chooses to make concessions under Russia's nuclear deterrence, it may be a good thing for the American people, but it will definitely be a huge disaster for the election situation of the Biden administration and the Democratic Party.
Therefore, even though Biden knows that he will continue to stalemate with Russia, it is likely that the situation will escalate further, he can only grit his teeth and hold on.To put it bluntly, this is a typical extreme pressure, which is to "come bad" with Russia.
This move is enough to prove that the current US government has regarded the Russian-Ukrainian war as its own life-saving straw. In order to be less ugly on the scene, the Biden administration no longer cared about the interests of the United States and began to take real risks.
This is definitely not good news for the world. Because Biden is only facing the issue of partisan struggle, but Putin is facing the issue of survival. Once Russia loses in this war, the national cohesion that Putin has finally built over the past 20 years may dissipate.
Therefore, if Biden makes up his mind to ask Russia to make concessions, or let Russia lose the war, give the United States, or more accurately, the Democratic Party to earn some face, then the war will probably be expanded.
And judging from the current situation, the probability of the above situation is increasing. Next week, NATO will hold a nuclear deterrence exercise with nearly half of its member states participating. In response, Russian State Duma MP Morozov said that Russia will not ignore this and will respond to strengthening combat readiness.
