only has eternal interests and no eternal friends. This is the most familiar iron rule for Western countries. Recently, two countries have successively jumped out to accuse the United States of being "unbenevolent and righteous".
is first Türkiye . According to Russia today's report on the 22nd, Turkish Foreign Minister Cavusoglu said on the 21st that "the United States should stop threatening Saudi Arabia on the issue of oil prices, which is inappropriate. is 'bullying' ."
The reason why Türkiye "dares to say" is because it has a interest relationship with Russia.
Türkiye not only can obtain sufficient energy supply from Russia, but Russia and Turkey are also discussing the construction of a new natural gas hub in Türkiye. If the hub can be built smoothly, then Türkiye can "get a piece of the pie in " in the oil market. It is no big deal to criticize the United States.
followed by France. According to Global Network 22, French President Macron said on the 21st that "the price of selling natural gas to Europe is higher than that of the domestic market in the United States" and criticized the United States for its "double standards."
Compared with Türkiye, France is not that tough. Macron just said that this is "related to the sincerity of transatlantic trade", so he planned to propose it during his visit to the United States in December.
Russia also mocked France for this.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency on the 23rd, Russian Federation Council member Alexei Pushkov said, "I don't know where Macron got the sincerity of transatlantic trade. The United States will only sincerely put pressure and sincerely sell the expensive American liquefied natural gas ."
How do you view the United States being criticized by Türkiye and France one after another? I think there are two points.
First, the United States "shot itself in the foot" sooner or later. Take energy as an example. Although Europe now has to slow down its dependence on Russian energy, it has long been "dare to be angry but not speak up."
Hungary Director of the Prime Minister's Office Gegeli Guyash even made a bold statement on the 22nd that if EU imposes new sanctions on Russian natural gas involving its own country's energy supply, he will oppose it and not allow it.
In addition to Hungary, other parties and people in European countries express their dissatisfaction with the United States more directly than those in European authorities.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency on the 23rd, French Patriot Party Chairman believes that the operation to destroy the "North Stream" pipeline is likely to be launched by the United States, "and this shows that NATO can do any bad things."
Italian masses also took to the streets because of US, Europe and Russia relations. According to the Russian Satellite News Agency on the 23rd, local social groups in Genoa, Italy took to the streets to oppose the government's aid to Ukraine to make Russia, and called for "to get Italy out of the rule of the United States and the European Union."
Although we can still rely on our strength to make Europe "submit" to our country, if the United States blindly puts its interests first, it will sooner or later be "attacked up in groups."
Second, NATO may also gradually become disagreeable with the United States. Although NATO is centered on the United States, NATO is composed of many countries after all. is used by the United States as a gun, but it depends on the limit. The limit of
is that NATO is unwilling to really start a fight with Russia.
Recently, Russia said, "NATO countries transport weapons and ammunition to the Kiev regime, provide intelligence, train soldiers and provide combat directions, and are close to the dangerous boundary of a direct military conflict with Russia."
And at this delicate moment, the United States still exaggerates nuclear public opinion, the "World War III" and the "Global War", intensifying the tension between Russia and NATO.
Even Ukraine is "faning the flames".
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency on the 23rd, Ukrainian President Zelensky said in an interview that if Russia attacks Ukrainian decision-making center, NATO countries should fight back on Kremlin , "It doesn't matter whether Ukraine is a NATO member."
The United States treats NATO as a gun, and Ukraine also makes NATO uncomfortable.
As a member of NATO and the "big brother" of Europe, German Chancellor Scholtz directly said in an interview, "The Russian-Ukrainian conflict cannot be allowed to evolve into a direct conflict between Russia and NATO."
In other words, NATO countries can provide assistance to Ukraine, but this assistance is subtle and can satisfy the United States and not cross the Russian red line.
If you really want to fight, NATO will become very cautious.
In short, the United States' approach has aroused the dissatisfaction of many "allies", which shows that "America supremacy" is wrong, and hegemony will eventually be unpopular!
