Remind the Nordic Pipeline that was just bombed. One of them is the financial resources and relationship link between Russia and Europe, and the other is a large channel connecting Crimean materials and logistics. The two major arteries were bombed one after another in a short period of time, and the time was chosen to be the front and back of Putin's 70th birthday. This is equivalent to stabbing Russia in the heart, and its intention is self-evident. They just want to anger Putin, stimulate Russia, and escalate the Russian-Ukrainian war.
As expected, on October 10, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict entered the most tragic day. Putin was furious and Russian missiles took off to the air, which instantly caused thick smoke to roll in Kiev Street and flames to rise. A large number of Ukrainian infrastructure were bombed, and the power supply in many cities was interrupted, falling into darkness. Even near the office of Ukrainian President Zelensky, there was a shell hit, and the warning was quite strong. I guess the president must have been sleepless all night and was busy cleaning up all kinds of messes.
It is obvious that the Russian-Ukrainian war has entered a new stage. Russia has finally been really popular and has begun to show off its appearance of going to start a full war, which is of course very in line with the expectations of the United States. In this cold winter, Russia and Ukraine will become the sharpest butcher knife in the hands of the United States, and cut the cake of Western Europe hard for the United States to enjoy it.
You are not wrong. The Russian-Ukraine War was a big game against Western Europe from the beginning. All of this started with the construction of the Nord Stream Pipeline. Before 2009, among the five main pipelines of Russia's gas transmission to Western Europe, four of them needed to transit through Ukraine. Relying on the advantage of transit, Ukraine charged huge transit fees while refusing to pay Russia's natural gas bills. It even did not speak of martial ethics and stole natural gas from the transit pipeline, causing the Russian Natural Gas Industry Corporation to lose more than one billion US dollars a year.
If you want to sell your own energy to Europe, it depends on the faces of Ukraine and Eastern European countries. This made Putin very angry. He made up his mind to build two new pipelines to bypass Ukraine and lead directly to Western Europe. This is the origin of Beixi 1 and Beixi 2 !
Of course, this Nord Stream plan that bypasses Ukraine and Eastern European countries has naturally been strongly opposed by Ukraine. Once natural gas no longer transits to Ukraine, Ukraine's "energy robbery" behavior will not continue. Therefore, under the protests of pro-US president Poroshenko , the United States repeatedly warned Europe not to pass the Nord Stream plan and not to have too close contact with Russia!
The United States of course has its own abacus. After all, Russia is an energy power, and Western Europe is an old industrial base. The two are very complementary in the economic field. Once the Nord Stream plan is successfully implemented, Russia-Europe relations will definitely go to a higher level. The European economy will surely win the second spring. With the proud revival of the Asian continent's Eastern power, Eurasian continent will definitely be able to shine both east and west in the future and be strong, while the United States will gradually decline with the debt crisis and eventually become an inconspicuous small border country. This is obviously not the future order the United States wants!
Unfortunately, at this time, the European boss Merkel was full of keen eyes. She withstood the pressure and promoted the operation of Nord Stream 1 in 2011. This move directly upgraded Germany to become Europe's energy distribution center. Russia also tasted the sweetness of making a difference without middlemen, which can be said to be a win-win situation between Russia and Europe!
Then under her mediation, Western European countries rarely united and Nord Stream 2 officially started construction, but this behavior was unanimously opposed by Eastern European countries. The pro-US Ukrainian President Poroshenko took the lead in attacking and jointly with Eastern European countries to put pressure on Russia and Western Europe to demand that they not use Nord Stream 2. But Russia, which has tasted the sweetness of Nord Stream 1 and the ambitious European boss Germany, have no place to care about so much. The various protests and sanctions have not affected the fact that both sides accelerate the advancement of Nord Stream 2.
On October 4, 2021, Beixi No. 2 withstood the pressure and finally began ventilation testing. The strategic relationship between Russia and Europe instantly rose to a new level. In sharp contrast, there are increasingly different differences between Europe and the United States on the issue of "treating Russia", and European and American relations have taken a sharp decline.
, especially Germany, which relies heavily on Russian gas, is always one step slower in its actions to sanction Russia and even has different ideas. Some German politicians even threatened: From now on, Europe will no longer be affected by the United States, and Europe's destiny will be controlled by Europeans!
However, from the ventilation test of Beixi 2 on October 4, 2021 to the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian War on February 17, 2022, the good days that Europeans were thinking about had passed in total less than 4 months, and the Americans couldn't help but put a knife at their allies. At this moment, the Americans' voice was: I don't want you to live this good day!
Since Russia and Ukraine fought, we always have a feeling that there is an invisible hand behind this war. Whenever Russia and Ukraine are tired of fighting, run away and want to make a standstill for a while, whenever the European senior management "decision to support Ukraine" is shaken, it will run out and pluck the strings.
Blast the Nord Stream pipeline today, the Crimea Bridge tomorrow, and assassinate Russian public figures the day after tomorrow. These one by one has only one purpose, so that the Russian-Ukrainian war will not stop, and force Europe to continue cutting its flesh and feeding the eagles!
If nothing unexpected happens, Europeans must be bleeding in their hearts at this time. Winter is coming, and they do not have natural gas for winter, energy soars, and European industry is about to be hit by dimensionality reduction. Natural gas is not only a fuel, but also a chemical raw material, which will affect many downstream industries.
For example, the increase in energy costs has caused the price of carbon dioxide in the UK to soar from £200 per ton to £1,000, which will affect many industries such as slaughtering industry, bubble beverage production industry, and packaging industry. On the French side, the price of the natural gas friendly price order obtained by Macron from the United States is four times the unit price of Russia, the "enemy of France", which means that France's industrial costs will increase four times, and a cyclical industrial recession is inevitable.
Of course, the worst thing is still Germany. Germany has a dependence on Russia on natural gas, which is the highest among major industrial countries in Europe, and is naturally the most affected. Germany is the industrial center of Europe, and the four most important industries in European manufacturing, namely automobiles, food, machinery and equipment and chemicals. German companies are basically among the top, so the stability of German industrial production is related to the stability of industrial production in the entire Europe.
Merkel's talent back then was a great strategy. It was for the future of Germany and even Europe that he made every effort to promote the implementation of the Nord Stream Plan. Seeing that the Nord Stream 2 was officially in operation, the German economy took off, and the European fortune was coming, a big hand from the Americas took over, changed his fate against the will of heaven, and even directly blew up Nord Stream 2. This move undoubtedly directly destroyed Germany's industrial foundation, forcing Germany, which is not so anti-Russia, to participate in the Western world's sanctions against Russia with tears in his eyes.
has to count the money when it is sold, and the country is robbed of its destiny. It has to kneel down and say thank you. This is the current situation of the entire Western European countries. If nothing unexpected happens, in the next 3-5 years, not only will the large amount of funds from Europe, but also the advanced industrial system of Europe and the top scientific and technological talents from all walks of life will immigrate to the United States on a large scale on a batch. Just like in the late World War II, the United States plundered world talents, everything will repeat itself, and finally realize the ultimate wish of Trump "make America great again"!
I have to sigh, this is the "true face" of the world's only superpower!
Although Russia has repaired the bridge very quickly and violently, and although Kiev has been blown up with thick smoke, as if the world is over, there are reports that the United States' backhand is far from this. If necessary, the United States will ask Ukraine to bomb the Zaporo thermonuclear power plant in the hands of the Russian army. At the cost of a large-scale nuclear leak, Russia is blamed for the Chernobyl nuclear accident . This may be one of the reasons why the United States urgently purchases US$290 million worth of nuclear anti-nuclear drugs (Nplate).
Since the beginning of late September, the United States has been constantly hinting to the world that Russia will use nuclear weapon . Just like in January this year, the United States kept hinting to the world that the Russian-Ukraine war would break out, it was still a familiar taste or the same recipe. At this moment, the howling cold wind could not extinguish the temperature of the war.
Let me make a bold prediction. After this winter is over, Russia will be in ruins and will not have the power to fight again in a short period of time. The influence will be greatly reduced. Eastern Europe will become a ruin, and the Western Europe economy will regress for more than 100 years. In addition to the steady revival of the Eastern powers in the world, only the United States will be reborn in the ruins and reshape the world order in the chaos.
Whether you admit it or not, this is the truth. In this world, you have to rely on iron-fisted means to speak, not as a dog-licking!
