Russian Satellite News Agency reported on October 11 that NATO former secretary-general Anos Fog Rasmusen expressed his views on the current situation in Ukraine in an interview with the US Foreign Policy magazine. In Rasmussen's view, the best way to solve the Russian problem is to ensure the security of Ukraine in the whole of Europe. With the premise of solving the Russian issue, the United States can have more energy to deal with challenges from China. In recent times, Western countries' aid to Ukraine has stabilized, and Europe has long been prepared to provide long-term assistance to Ukraine and completely defeat Russia. This means that the Russian-Ukrainian conflict will continue, and the United States will completely shift its strategic focus to China in the future.
In the early stage of Russia's special operation against Ukraine, Western countries were not optimistic about Ukraine, and the United States even suggested that Zelensky go to the United States to establish a government in exile. However, the military operations of the Russian army did not meet the expectations of the outside world, which led to Western countries' final decision to provide assistance to Ukraine and fight a proxy war against Russia. The overall equipment technical level of the Ukrainian army is far inferior to that of Russia, but due to the strong assistance from Western countries and the all-round sanctions on Russia, the equipment technical level of the Ukrainian army has been improved in a very short period of time. Although Russia has a relatively complete military industrial system, it has also encountered production difficulties due to the sanctions of Western countries. As one goes up and down, the gap in equipment levels between the Ukrainian army and the Russian army is getting smaller and smaller, which is also one of the important reasons why the Russian army is currently unable to advance on the battlefield.
For the United States, it is almost harmless to engage in a proxy war against Russia with the help of the entire European power in Ukraine. Because the United States is currently facing a serious recession crisis, it needs to "beat" all countries that have the ability to challenge itself, just like what it did to Japan in the 1980s and 1990s. Although Russia also has its own development problems, Russia is ultimately a nuclear country with a vast territory, which is naturally an uncontrollable factor for the United States, the hegemony who is determined to suck blood around the world. What's more, the United States is facing challenges from China today, and Russia's existence has dispersed a lot of American energy.
Therefore, the United States hopes to completely solve Russia by sacrificing Europe and Ukraine to ensure that it has enough energy to deal with China's challenges. This means that the United States will not only further strengthen its control over Europe, but also means that the United States will use all means to destroy the possibility of reconciliation between Russia and Europe. The explosion of the "North Stream-2" natural gas pipeline means that the only room for maneuvering between Europe and Russia has lost energy.
The United States is the initiator of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict. The end of the Cold War did not make the United States stop siegeing Russia. The end of the Cold War became a new opportunity for the United States to encircle Russia. Under the control of the United States, a large number of Eastern European franchises that originally belonged to the Soviet Union joined NATO one after another, which caused Russia to lose a large amount of strategic space in the European direction. During the period when NATO expanded eastward, the United States also used its absolute dominance in global public opinion to continuously vilify Russia and gathered "anti-Russia" into the most consistent consensus in the entire West. Coupled with the United States' economic, political and military control over Europe, the entire Europe is tied to the American chariot.
The outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has brought serious energy crisis and food crisis to the entire Western countries. Especially in the post-epidemic era, when countries around the world are eager to restore their economies, the energy crisis has greatly affected the economic development of Europe. Due to the entire West's sanctions on Russia's energy industry, Europe has currently faced a serious energy gap. The electricity and gas prices in many countries such as Germany have risen sharply, and European residents have had to stockpile a large amount of firewood to cope with the cold winter.Except for France, which uses nuclear power on a large scale, almost all other EU countries are facing difficulties in using electricity in winter.
But for the whole of Europe, the energy crisis has the most profound impact on the industrial field. Taking Germany as an example, when Merkel was the German Chancellor, he obtained a large amount of low-priced energy from Russia through his friendly policies with his country's friendship, which led to the vigorous development of German industry in the 21st century. The " Nord Stream-2" natural gas pipeline is actually an important political legacy left by Merkel to Germany and even Europe. However, with its own control over Europe and the explosion of the "North Stream-2" natural gas pipeline, European industries are facing a much more serious power crisis than in the civilian field. Power consumption is directly related to industrial output value.
Due to the suspension of imports of Russian natural gas , and European countries such as Germany and other European countries have closed non-clean energy such as thermal power plants due to environmental protection issues, the electricity prices in Germany and the United Kingdom have soared 10 times. As electricity prices rise sharply, the production costs of a large number of European industrial enterprises also rise significantly. The United States has become a net exporter of energy shale gas and shale oil , which means that the United States can continuously harvest European industry and capital with its own advantages of low energy prices and low electricity prices. Judging from this situation, Europe is the biggest victim of the entire Russian-Ukrainian conflict. However, even so, Europe is still willing to help Ukraine continue the conflict, which is enough to show how strong the United States controls Europe and how clear its own strategy is.
Generally speaking, with the explosion of the "North Stream-2" natural gas pipeline and the explosion of the Crimea Bridge, the Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been running in an uncontrollable direction. Europe has long been in a difficult situation in this conflict. Even if a large number of European companies and capital are harvested by the United States at this stage, the entire Europe dare not say the word "no" when facing the United States. Therefore, for the foreseeable period in the future, Europe will continue to provide Ukraine with aid to consume Russia, and the United States will naturally be able to free up its hands to target China. No matter what the relationship between China and the United States is, Europe cannot escape the decline after the Russian-Ukrainian conflict.
