Ukrainian counterattack has not ended yet, , but the US has started to be in chaos .
This is the case. A few days ago, the British media Mirror published an article saying that many " Starlink " terminals of the Ukrainian army's front-line troops had a malfunction, and caused the Ukrainian army's counterattack to stagnate .
"Starlink" is a space Internet satellite developed by the American private aerospace company Space X company . Using the "Starlink" terminal, you can receive the satellite signal and communicate.
NATO Now use "Starlink" to to ensure the communication status of the Ukrainian army , remotely control the Ukrainian army's combat operations .
The Mirror report attracted criticism from Starlink founder, the boss of Space X, Elon Musk .
Musk said on Twitter that the Mirror report was "false" , and the "Starlink" terminal in Wujun's hands was intact. Reports like "Mirror" are "irresponsible" and "leaked military secrets" .
However, he did not answer positively about whether the Ukrainian army could continue to use "Starlink".
Musk began to complain about another thing, saying that Ukraine's "Starlink" user (that is, Ukrainian army) has owed 80 million US dollars in , which has put a heavy burden on the operation of Space X company. What is the specific situation of
? I can't make a rash judgment until there is no more news.
But what we can see is that , a mainstream British media , and , an American high-tech business owner, , was "pinched" because of the Ukrainian problem.
If we look into the background of both sides, we will find that this seems to be a dispute between the British media and the American boss, and is actually a dispute between the two parties in the United States .
or, in other words, the manifestation of domestic contradictions in the United States .
First of all, there is a British political joke called "The readers of the Mirror are people who think they are governing the country."
The meaning of the word "Mirror" is mainly on political topics and irresponsible in terms of political views.
According to some foreign analysis, the current Mirror is closer to a political force represented by the Democratic Party in the United States, or .
Then there is Musk, the young rich man is hardcore Republican people . He once spent a huge amount of money to acquire equity in Twitter . The first thing after completing the acquisition is that is to unblock the Twitter account for Trump .
The reason why Trump's Twitter account was banned was because after the Democratic Party came to power, it was asked to ban it through political operations.
So, let’s look at the problem of “Starlink” terminal this time. On the surface, the focus of the problem is in Ukraine in Eastern Europe, and is actually in the focus of the problem in the United States.
The two parties in the United States have been incompatible for many years, and in recent years, the political differences between the two parties mainly include these two aspects:
internal: The Democratic Party mainly supports the United States' financial services industry , while the Republican Party mainly supports the United States' industry and manufacturing industry .
There is no complicated reason here. The fundamental problem is votes and support strength . The two types of industries are the pillars of the Democratic Party and the Republican Party respectively.
For these Western parties, votes are everything, no other reason is needed .
externally: Democratic Party tends to actively interfere in hot spots, engages in public opinion wars, color revolution and other means to crack down on weaken opponents.
Republicans believe that the Democratic Party’s approach is “dirty” , and believe that the United States should not actively interfere in the situation in the hot spots of , because that will drag the United States into it.
And the Republican Party believes that to compete with other countries, it should fight economic war .Methods like the Trump-era trade war against China are the practices that Republicans admire.
This is the main contradiction in US domestic politics at present. As an important supporter of the Republican Party, Musk is naturally dissatisfied with the current Biden administration.
And from Musk's own perspective, he also has real interest needs , and he wants to make him oppose the Democratic Party's approach.
As we mentioned earlier, Musk is the boss of Space X, a private aerospace company. is currently one of the most powerful aerospace companies in the world. .
For example, this year, the United States has carried out nearly 70 space launches, more than 40 of which were launched by Space X, and the proportion of reaches two-thirds of .
Our China has only more than 40 space launches this year, which shows the strength of Space X.
Therefore, Space X is a representative company of the real economy, industry and manufacturing industry, and high-tech industry in the United States. Musk is naturally a big shot in this regard.
This is a very important point.
The Biden administration or the Democratic Party, their foreign policy policies, requires a lot of money to successfully carry out .
Buying media to create public opinion requires money, giving Ukraine military aid requires money, and supporting the color revolution also requires money... There are so many places that require money, so where does the money come from?
It is definitely impossible to rely on Biden to pay out of your own pocket, and it is naturally spent on US Treasury money .
However, in recent years, the US economic problems may even occur, and this money is not enough. Then the US government does not have enough money to spend, so naturally has to make the idea of American companies .
is now in power in the Democratic Party, so the Democratic Party will naturally not make the idea of the financial services industry, otherwise it will be unable to compete with the votes.
If the Biden administration wants to take action against American companies, the US industry and manufacturing represented by Musk will be the first to be affected by .
One wants to operate on the company, and the other doesn’t want to be operated on. Then won’t this conflict come?
So in recent times, Musk has frequently disagree with the Biden administration on the issue of Ukraine, and the contradictions have gradually intensified.
Before Musk also said that Crimea is "undoubted Russian territory" , and supports the four eastern Ukrainian states to "conduct another 'out of Ukrainian' referendum under the witness of United Nations ".
This is contrary to the usual attitude of the US government. Musk was immediately besieged by many American media . Behind these media, if you dig a little deeper, they all have deep or shallow relationships with the Democratic Party.
The United States will hold a midterm election this year. Judging from the current situation, the Democratic Party has basically no chance of winning . In other words, in the US election two years later, the Democratic Party is likely to lose.
And Trump has now defeated other candidates in the Republican Party, and is likely to participate in the US presidential election in 2024 and there is a great possibility of winning.
So now, in order to ensure re-election, the Democratic Party has even used administrative means to crack down on candidates. This practice of "bad rules" in the American political circle has been used.
The Democratic Party is still the ruling party now, and there are a lot of administrative resources to use. The Republican Party has an advantage in overall strength.
The conflicts and contradictions between the two parties in the United States, The next is the good show that will be opened .
