On June 19, Germany's "Sunday Bild" quoted NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg as saying that the war in Ukraine may last for several years and NATO must be prepared. In addition, he also emphasized that providing the most advanced weapons to the Ukrainian military will increase the chances of "liberating" the eastern region of Donbass from Russian control. Just a few days ago, British Prime Minister Johnson made similar comments on the need to prepare for a long-term war in a column published in the Sunday Times of London.
But no one noticed that the United States, which has been acting as the "commander" of Western countries in the Ukraine incident, was quietly preparing to run away - even though US President Biden also announced an increase of 1 billion last week US dollar military aid to Ukraine.
In the end, the Internet celebrity president did not expect direct military support from Western countries
In fact, all this is not without signs. For example, on the 10th, Biden criticized Zelensky for being "unwilling to listen" to the "Russia" warning issued by the United States very early. "will invade Ukraine" reminder, according to the "usual practice" of Americans, when they start to blame each other, it means they have to withdraw. Then on the 12th, NATO Secretary General Stoltenberg said, "Peace is possible, but you need to pay a price for it." He also cited the example of Finland ceding land to the Soviet Union in exchange for peace.
In fact, the earliest "breathing" that the United States was preparing to run away came from former US Secretary of State Henry Kissinger's speech at the Davos Forum at the end of May that "Ukraine should cede territory to Russia to end the war."
Since then, Kissinger’s opinions have begun to affect the already fragile “aid alliance” of Western countries, and there is increasing evidence that with the increasing food and energy crisis and Western sanctions on Russia Reaching the limit, the positions of the countries in the "Aid to Aid Ukraine" continue to diverge, and this situation continues to worsen.
On the Ukrainian issue, Western countries have begun to become more and more divided.
Looking inside the United States, in the face of the upcoming U.S. midterm elections, everyone in the United States is more concerned about the economy, inflation, , unemployment, gun control, etc. The development of the Russo-Ukrainian war has obviously begun to lose enthusiasm. As for Biden’s newly announced US$1 billion in military aid, it now looks more like he wants to put on a tough stance before negotiations to show that the United States is “not forced to negotiate” – being a big brother means saving face. .
To put it simply, Russia, Ukraine, the United States, the European Union, and other parties have basically realized that this "Russian-Ukrainian war" has reached a deadlock, and this "stalemate" has become a prerequisite for preparing for negotiations, relying on negotiations The latest time point is to wait for Russia to occupy the Wudong region.
In addition to the above countries, many people may overlook that China, which has always remained neutral, has actually expressed relevant attitudes. In the telephone communication between the heads of state of China and Russia on the 15th, China stated that "all parties should promote the proper resolution of the Ukrainian crisis in a responsible manner." This shows that China has also disclosed the "ending" information to Russia.
Let’s look at it from the perspective of China and the United States. A few days ago, some think tank scholars in the United States criticized the United States’ Indo-Pacific strategy for being unworthy of its name and making loud noises but little rain. If the United States has figured out its strategic purpose and the focus is still to check and balance China, it should be more Leave the Ukraine issue to Europe and focus on the Indo-Pacific region.
In other words, from all aspects, Ukraine has been abandoned or even betrayed by the West led by the United States, and the countdown can begin.
If the United States wants to continue to "deterr" China, it must get out of the "quagmire" of Ukraine as soon as possible
