Is this a guilty conscience in the United States? Of course the United States has a guilty conscience!
Speaking of a lieutenant general in the US Army, Robert Jefferson, he recently expressed the hope that Lithuania would withdraw from NATO . This has attracted widespread attention from media around the world. This is a very puzzling statement, because Lithuania is now "bravely" representing the West and engaging in a "death struggle" with Russia, and does not hesitate to use its small country of 2.8 million people as a "shield" ", to block Russia's influence on the Baltic Sea coast.

It should be said that Lithuania regards itself as a member of the West and is extremely sincere to Europe and NATO. It stands to reason that NATO and Europe should increase their assistance to Lithuania at this time, try their best to encourage its fighting spirit, push this small country into the flames of war like Ukraine , and then continue to consume Russia's power. But NATO did not do this. Instead, they had the idea of ​​abandoning Lithuania. Why is this?
The truth is actually very simple, because while NATO is consuming Russia, it is also caught in a huge war of attrition in Ukraine. NATO countries have given Ukraine hundreds of billions of dollars in aid and loans to support Ukraine and Russia in continuing their war. Go down. At the same time, NATO has also seen from the war between Russia and Ukraine that Russia is not that easy to mess with. It originally thought that providing more weapons would be able to stop or even counterattack the Russian army. Now it seems that Russia is fighting step by step and steadily. It is very sophisticated. Ukraine is seeing It slipped to the edge of possible defeat.

Russia is not easy to mess with. This country is the second largest nuclear weapons country in the world. It has more than 4,000 nuclear weapons. This is Russia's greatest strategic endorsement. When encountering any crisis or pressure, as long as it shows its nuclear weapons, the West will immediately When faced with difficulties, retreat. Moreover, for most NATO countries, that is, European countries, although the United States is close, it is too far away. Russia is not only scary, but also very close.

Russia can suppress the fight against Ukraine. After all, we still have to remember the old brotherhood, and we also need to take care of the feelings of Ukrainians and win the support of Ukrainians. But it is different for Europe. If Russia fights with Europe, it may really dare to use nuclear weapons. After all, in Russian military doctrine, combat in the European direction has always been the background of " nuclear war". Europe is naturally unwilling to engage in a real battle with Russia. After all, they support Ukraine and Lithuania only for their own safety, not to expose themselves to nuclear bombs!

For example, for Ukraine, even though Ukraine's geographical location is indeed very important, and it does have a certain national strength. After all, it has a population of 44 million and the second largest area in Europe, the West still blocked Ukraine from joining NATO after the war between Russia and Ukraine. possibility, because in the eyes of the West, Ukraine is just a "chessboard" rather than a core power of the West. The West can use Ukraine to weaken Russia, but it will never go to war with Russia purely for the benefit of Ukraine. This is a conclusion emphasized countless times by the leaders of the United States and Britain.
This is especially true for Lithuania. The United States wants Lithuania to join NATO, not so that major countries such as the United States, Britain, France and Germany can become Lithuania's "thugs", but to make Lithuania make sacrifices for them. If Lithuania is really in a dangerous situation, then the West will definitely be the fastest. For the United States, there is absolutely no need for a hot war between Lithuania and Russia. So what is the way to avoid direct confrontation with Russia? That is to completely abandon the strategic connection with Lithuania. When Lithuania and Russia take action, Western powers such as the United States, Britain, France and Germany do not have to get involved.
Therefore, when Lithuania recently provoked Russia, the United States finally couldn't sit still and hoped that Lithuania would withdraw from NATO. This is by no means the personal opinion of a lieutenant general, but an idea that has a certain market in NATO.Perhaps, what NATO has done can help Lithuania see the true face of the West earlier and stop taking risks.
