The latest news came from the NATO summit held in Madrid, Spain, NATO just announced that it will expand the rapid response force from 40,000 to 300,000 people, the United States President Biden then suddenly announced that 100,000 additional troops would be sent to Europe.
This news is not only a bit sudden, but also a bit violent. What does this mean to Putin who is fighting the conflict between Russia and Ukraine? What does it mean for Europe? More importantly, what does it mean for us?
Everyone knows that this is the United States, EU and NATO putting pressure and clamor on Russia to scare Putin. But will Putin be intimidated?
Judging from Biden’s announcement of additional troops, the United States will deploy a permanent Fifth Army forward command in Poland , deploy a new rotating brigade combat team in Romania , and strengthen forward deployment in the Baltic Sea region. , it is clear that will once again extend its "cannon fire" to Russia's doorstep.
Biden also announced that the United States will deploy two more advanced F-35 strike squadrons in the United Kingdom, increase air defense and other capabilities in Germany and Italy, and increase the number of destroyers at the Rota Naval Base in Spain from four to 6 ships. Since the Russia-Ukraine conflict, there have been approximately 100,000 US troops providing so-called security and defense in Europe. With another 100,000 troops added, the number will reach 200,000 US soldiers. This is obviously preparation for a medium-sized war.
has so many people added, who are you going to fight with? At this point, America is not covering up at all, that is, in order to deal with the increasingly dangerous Russia.
In fact, Russia is no longer afraid that the United States and NATO will slander it as a "evil person". At least from the moment Putin decided to sign the special military operation against Ukraine , Putin has seen through the United States and the West, that is, it is impossible for the United States and the West to slander him. Russia is regarded as a "friend", and even Russians have gradually realized that the United States and the West are "unyielding in their desire to destroy Russia."
What Putin has seen even more from the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is that the United States and NATO are actually "strong external forces but internal agents". When they really encounter those who are "not afraid of death" and "have tricks", they just make more noise. This is indeed the case. For this reason, even though Ukrainian President Zelensky has begged the United States and NATO to send troops to fight Russia, the United States and NATO dare not send a single soldier.
It is precisely because Putin understands the mentality of the United States and the West that he dares to use troops on a large scale against Ukraine and fight a protracted war.
But if you look back and think about it, how did the Soviet Union, whose military strength was much stronger than Russia's today, be "collapsed" by the United States and NATO?
People like to use " Cold War " to describe the strategic game between the United States and the Soviet Union. The United States and the Soviet Union fought for decades without actually firing a single shot at each other, and in the end the Soviet Union was "brought to death".
Yes, the most critical words in the "cold war" of are "entrustment" and "consumption" of .
Now, the United States suddenly announced that it will send an additional 100,000 troops to Europe.
Of course, Putin will not be frightened. Putin is not intimidated. But , as Russia, really wants to prevent it from being dragged into the "arms race" by the United States. With its current national strength alone, Russia cannot afford to spend money to "set up a gantry array" with the United States and NATO on arms.
Therefore, the best way out for Russia is not to win on the battlefield, but to be undefeated militarily, that is, to use nuclear and other strategic weapons to deter the United States and NATO without deterring them.
is Putin’s most wise and powerful words - If Russia disappears, what will the world do?
Based on Putin’s words, it is almost impossible for anyone who wants to bring down Russia with “fist”. What Russia really needs to guard against is that the United States and the West, through infiltration, will carry out a color revolution in Russia and subvert Putin's regime.
I hope that Russia will not have the situation that happened on the eve of the collapse of the Soviet Union. There were tens of millions of Soviet Communists, but no one came out to save their party and country.
Three years ago, the young French President Macron said that NATO was brain-dead and that Europeans had to rely on themselves to protect themselves. The implication was that he did not want to hear that the Americans were relying on NATO to control Europe. The then German Chancellor Merkel also suggested building its own European security force to defend itself.
However, a Russian-Ukrainian conflict planned and calculated by the United States completely shattered the Europeans' dream of self-improvement. To be honest, judging from this Russia-Ukraine conflict, European countries such as Poland, Romania, Lithuania and other small countries have been fooled by the Americans. Even the big European countries such as Germany, France, the United Kingdom, and Italy have completely disappeared. My own "soul" can only serve as the "thug", "pawn" and "cash machine" of the United States.
It can be said that the era of Europe has never returned.
If we look at the long history, Europe's biggest shortcoming is that after the Roman Empire , there has never been a relatively unified integration. Whether it is Napoleon or Hitler , they can only be short-lived.
If we want Europe to form a truly united force, how can it be accomplished by Macron and his like? !
has always had a prediction. Even though Europe seems to be a paradise now, maybe in twenty or thirty years, it will become a new gaming field for great powers, a battlefield full of gunpowder and smoke, and the player is the United States. , Russia, and China who took action at the right time.
This is the prediction, we might as well wait and see!
NATO’s military expansion and the United States sending more troops to Europe, what does this mean to us? This is the key point that we should be most keenly aware of.
Ever since Obama launched the "Asia-Pacific rebalancing" strategy, he has clamored to deploy 60% of his troops to the Asia-Pacific to deal with China. Even before George W. Bush , he considered adjusting his military forces to East Asia, but bin Laden appeared and the 9.11 incident disrupted his plan.
and then Trump As soon as he came to power, he clearly regarded China as his strongest strategic competitor, and even threatened to teach China "how to be a human being." We did feel Trump's "bravery" at that time. Then there is now Biden. After entering the White House, he has repeatedly emphasized that China is the strongest challenger and must concentrate on dealing with China.
But now, Biden has to announce at the NATO summit that he will send more troops to Europe.
How does the United States increase its troops? It is impossible to conjure so many people by magic. It is also impossible for the United States to expand its entire military strength. Its military expenditure has exceeded more than 800 billion U.S. dollars every year, and its national fiscal deficit has exceeded 32 trillion U.S. dollars. It still needs more money. , what about raising 100,000 more American soldiers?

So, if the United States sends 100,000 additional troops to Europe, it can only dispatch them from other places. So where can it dispatch troops? Is it from to middle ? Impossible, Iran is still there, Iraq is still there, Syria is still there.
At a glance, Americans themselves know that in fact, the Pacific is the most "peaceful". The so-called "China threat" is just their imitation, and it is just their military-industrial complex advocating for their own interests. from.
This means - The plan that the United States had previously threatened to transfer its main forces to the Western Pacific will most likely not be realized.
This is the biggest "gift" the Russia-Ukraine conflict has given us!
This is the reason why I love to say "God bless China" every critical moment.
