The event that had the greatest impact on the world this year, at least on the surface, was definitely the Russian-Ukrainian war that broke out in February.
This war also had a great impact on the country, especially in terms of values. It can even be said that the Russia-Ukraine war further accelerated the tearing of domestic Internet public opinion. How many people are arguing about this.
Why does a foreign war have such a big impact on domestic public opinion and even ideology?
We can only condemn all wars launched by the United States. Basically there will be no other arguments. But the war launched by Russia this time is a little different...
I think in the final analysis, it is the former giant behind Russia, the former Soviet Union, that has had a great influence on China. The communism of the past, the ideals and beliefs of the past, and the red giant that was projected have further influenced many trends of thought on the Internet many years later.
How people view the world includes jungleism and idealism, left-wing and right-wing ideas, nationalism and racism, international morality and unscrupulous means, winner takes all and the loser takes prostitution...
When so many different trends of thought are reflected on today's Russia, the successor of the former Red Giant, there are too many complex emotions. This also led to too many quarrels.
As the war in Russia progresses unsatisfactorily, another slightly amusing result is brought about. That is, many people who once vowed to support Russia, including many KPIs with great influence online, have frequently overturned. How many sworn donbas dumplings ended up in vain, how many phantom tank legions appeared in many corners of the Internet, and became some kind of joke a few months later.
To this day, there may still be a lot of debate about this war. There may still be many variables in the future.
However, in general, most people should admit that this war will do more good than harm to China. China's benefits generally outweigh its losses. I think this should be one of the few consensuses about this war on the domestic Internet.
In addition, as 2022 is coming to an end, we must also see clearly that Russia is really in trouble. Regardless of whether it supports Russia or not, we must admit that it is a rookie.
Any war, especially a war across national borders (wars to defend one's own territory are not included here), are always easy to start, but very difficult to end decently. In this regard, the United States is like this, and Russia is obviously no exception.
As the war goes unfavorably, Putin 's situation is obviously becoming more and more difficult. This can be seen from the photos of him attending several CSTO meetings.
Russia’s influence and control over its neighboring countries, especially those in Central Asia, are being weakened as never before.
More and more people have to admit that the value of Russia's united front is declining sharply, while the value of Ukraine's united front is rising unprecedentedly.
This also proves another truth, either don't start a war easily, or you can win the war.
History is always written by the victors.
If Russia had won this war, the outcome would have been very different.
So, why can't Russia win this war? Is it because the level of desperate resistance of Ukrainians is beyond imagination? Is it because the Russian army is already rotten? Is it because of the intervention of and NATO ? Or is it the sum of all these factors?
External factors are always just external factors. There is only one fundamental reason why Russia cannot win this war, and it is that Russia itself is really not good enough.
So no matter whether it is quite Russian or not, you have to admit that this is really a big deal.
It’s time to become more aware of this reality. Russia is indeed a bargaining chip against US imperialism to some extent, but do not overestimate the value of this bargaining chip.
Is this a fact that most people can accept after experiencing the entire Russia-Ukraine war in 2022?
