Russia has been having a bad life in recent days. Not only did it suffer a secret loss on the international battlefield, but it was also subject to Ukrainian counterattack and suppression on the front battlefield.
First, let’s talk about the damage to the Beixi pipeline.
According to the latest news, the degree of damage of the Nord Stream pipeline has further expanded, and the fourth pipeline leakage point has appeared.
Judging from the latest statement of Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline Company, it is hard to say whether Beixi can be repaired this time. We have to wait until all natural gas is eliminated before further evaluation is made.
You must always find the reason for such a big thing. You must learn from the technical reasons. You must give the strongest condemnation and punishment for artificial reasons.
Judging from all kinds of clues, the traditional major country that causes trouble, the United States, has become the biggest suspect in this incident again.
The reason is that Biden ’s previous arrogant remarks were exposed. In February this year, during a meeting with German Chancellor Scholz, Biden said that if Russia crosses the border and chooses to start war, " Nord Stream 2" will no longer exist and we will end it.
When faced with the inquiry, Biden once again emphasized that we can do this.
Now this video is circulating on major websites, and even former US President Trump has been forwarded on social media, and the caption says, "Is this going to trigger World War III?"
Today, when facing the severe questioning of Russian Foreign Ministry spokesman Zakharova , the response given by White House was pale and powerless. A White House spokesman said that what Biden said was the end of the project, not to destroy it.
Of course, the United States is not the only country accused of being a suspect. Another country on the list of suspicions in Western media is Russia.
That's right, you read that right, the builders and profiters of the Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline have become one of the suspects who destroy the Beixi Natural Gas Pipeline.
For example, relevant US officials said that Russia accused the United States of spreading false history, and in fact, Russia itself is the mastermind behind the destruction of the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline.
CNN also published an article saying that Russia is the only country capable of performing this operation in this sea area.
I have to say that this accusation is a bit ridiculous, because no matter who destroys the Nord Stream natural gas pipeline, Russia has suffered a secret loss:
first, Russia has lost an important bargaining chip to sanction EU . Regardless of whether these four leaks can be repaired, Russia has lost its most important bargaining chip in the sanctions war in a short period of time - energy.
Because the EU now does not control sanctions or sanctions against Russia, it will not get Russia's natural gas supply in a short period of time, so the EU may become more severe in terms of sanctions.
Second, Russia faces major economic losses. Let’s not talk about the natural gas leaked into the sea for free, but just repairing pipelines is a problem that Russia needs to consider.
If you can repair or choose to repair it, then who will take the lead? How do Russia and the EU negotiate? At this tense moment, these are all problems.
If you cannot repair it or choose not to repair it, then the basic projects worth tens of billions of yuan will become decorations and scrap iron? Moreover, the problem of natural gas exports will also become a short-term problem for Russia.
It may be because of this loss that Russian President Putin angrily accused the matter of total international terrorism in a call with Turkey President Erdogan.
But now that's the matter, the problem has been put in front of Putin. How to solve it depends on Putin's own choice. And this is not the only problem that Russia has to face.
Judging from the news from the front battlefield between Russia and Ukraine, the situation in the Russian army in the war in Donetsk is not optimistic. Donetsk's important town bonus Mann became the focus of Ukraine's counterattack.
From the map, the Ukrainian army launched a fierce attack on Russia from the south, north and west. At present, the Russian army can only resist and are faintly surrounded.
So, how to keep the dividend is the top priority of Russia. It can be said that once the dividend Mann is lost, the difficulty of Russia's battle to liberate Donetsk will rise to another level.
Now it depends on how Russia solves this problem.
In short, the current situation is quite unfavorable to Russia. Putin is facing major tests both inside and outside the battlefield. How to deal with these two problems can be said to be related to the success or failure of Russia in the next stage.
