In the past October 1st, Chinese people were still celebrating the National Day. Red flags were flying in the streets and food was full of fragrance at home. At this time, the atmosphere in the United States is completely different.
There was a lot of quarrels in Congress, government departments were closed, street protests continued, Trump from the other end of the White House gave an order, and U.S. troops were also sent out. On one side, there is the peace of the festival, and on the other side, there is political chaos. People can't help but want to ask: What's wrong with the United States?
What is even more shocking is that behind these messes, the U.S. move to the outside is also increasingly radical, especially on the Russian-Ukrainian issue, Trump's few steps have gone sharply and quickly, and the pressure on the Russian side has also come up.
Does the United States really want to be serious, or does Trump want to use external pressure to stabilize the interior? It's not that simple.
Congress alarm escalates, government shutdown becomes “political normal”
The U.S. government is once again stuck in a shutdown, to speak bluntly, that is, Congress has not negotiated the budget, the government has no money to spend, just the door is closed, nothing is done.
This is not new in the United States, but the shutdown is big.At the congressional vote, although more than half of the lawmakers agreed to continue funding, the bill was not passed because it did not reach a higher threshold.
The most interesting thing is that even since the family began to oppose, some Democratic lawmakers chose to oppose it, which complicates the matter.
Trump was not on the side, he immediately jumped out and threw the pot to the Democrats, saying that they did not act, only caused the government to shut down.
This operation is not the first time, and he knows very well that the government stops, the lives of the people will be affected, the federal employees have no wages, the public service stops, and the people naturally have resentment.
But the problem behind this is far from as simple as budget. In fact, this is the epitome of the struggle between the two parties in the United States. * and the Republic refuse to give way to each other, and no one is willing to compromise.
As president, Trump certainly has his own plans. His government shutdown this time is to some extent forcing Congress to make concessions, but also to test which faction can control the situation better. After all, he is now at a critical moment, not only consolidating his ruling position, but also gaining a foothold among the factions within the party.
This kind of political war you came to me, has made the ability of American governance becoming more and more inefficient. the government is closed, the people complain, but the politicians are playing more and more in your fight against me.
For a long time, the United States has not only damaged its external credibility, but also increasingly divided its internal public opinion.While Trump has won the scene, the stability of the country has been consumed a little bit.
Sending troops into the city is not a security, it is a political means.
If the government shutdown is just a political tug-of-war, then Trump's use of the army is a signal at another level. On the same day, he publicly stated that "serious problems" had emerged within the United States, and troops must be dispatched to assist local law enforcement.
It sounds like he is maintaining law and order, but if you look closely, you will find that the cities he named are basically places where the Democratic Party is in charge.
Later, the U.S. military was sent to one of the cities, still in the name of the "National Guard", which appeared to be a legal compliance operation.
But the problem is that the local governments in these cities do not feel they need the federal army to help, and even in turn accuse Trump of vetoing to interfering in local affairs.
This is apparently the preservation of order, and in fact it is the naked political means.Trump uses the army to suppress local governments, especially those states that are contrary to his stance, and it is obviously not a simple preservation.
He is pressuring the opposition with "hard means" and is also showing his hard gestures to the country.
More seriously, this type of military interference in domestic affairs is very sensitive in the United States. From a constitutional point of view, the power of the president to move arms is limited and can not be taken by the army to interfere with local governance.
This wave of Trump's operation has caused many legal experts and civil rights organizations to question it, believing that it may trigger a * crisis.
Moreover, there is another danger of this approach, which is that it will bring a demonstration effect. Once the president can use the military at will on the grounds of "national security", will any leader who is dissatisfied with any local policy in the future be able to do this?
It’s not just Trump’s political tool, it’s a challenge to the stability of the U.S. system.
As aid to Ukraine escalates, the United States is becoming increasingly open to Russia
In recent days, U.S. support for Ukraine has suddenly escalated, not just sending some supplies, getting some training, but directly starting to provide intelligence support, and even news that it may help Ukraine to strike targets within Russia.
This shift is crucial because it marks that the United States is no longer satisfied with the role of a “spectator” but is becoming more and more like a participant in the conflict, especially when the United States began to provide intelligence data to Ukraine against the Russian mainland, this behavior was very close to “indirect entry into war.”
While Trump has not explicitly stated in public that he supports Ukraine’s attack on Russian territory, he has not explicitly objected.
He then handed the decision-making power over to Ukraine, while himself retained the space for "attacking and retreating".
The Russian side is of course highly vigilant about this change. They have warned many times that if the United States continues this practice, it will be seen as direct interference in the war.
The Russian side has even issued a statement saying that if critical facilities in the country are hit, it will consider taking unconventional measures to respond.
The U.S. clearly knows that this is not easy, but the strategy now is to keep moving forward and see where Russia’s bottom line is.
The problem is that this type of exploration is easy to hit, and once one step goes wrong, the situation can be completely out of control. From this point of view, Ukraine has begun to try some high-risk operations, and if there is US intelligence support behind it, then the Russian reaction will not be easy.
For European countries, this escalation is equally frightening: while they are on the surface against Ukraine, they are also clear that if the conflict escalates to a direct confrontation between the US and Russia, the whole of Europe may be involved.
In particular, some countries close to the battlefield have recently begun to strengthen their defenses at the borders, which is obviously a little uneasy.
Take the civil unrest as a code, use the foreign war to transfer contradictions, the United States this game has not calmed down.
Looking at these three things together, we can see one thing in common: Trump is simultaneously making internal and external efforts, while creating domestic tensions, while increasing external military pressure, trying to stabilize his own political situation in a "moving and stable" way.
But this style of play may seem tough, but it is actually based on huge uncertainty. The government has closed, indicating that the interior has been torn; sending troops to cities shows that the contradiction between the federal and local governments has surfaced; the escalation of foreign aid to Uzbekistan shows that Trump is no longer worried about pushing US-Russia relations to a cliff.
From a global perspective, the U.S. operation has undoubtedly aggravated the world’s unrest, a country that should have been a global stabilizer, but now has become a variable to shake the situation.
What's worse is that this situation is not a short-term act, but may continue for the next few years.
China is certainly concerned about these developments, but our position has always been clear: calling for peace, supporting negotiations, and opposing any form of provocation and escalation.
On the Russia-Ukraine issue, China is not taking sides, but emphasizes that the problem must be solved politically and that the conflict should not be allowed to spill over to damage broader regional stability.
Trump's approach, ostensibly to "protect the United States", actually regards the whole world as his "political toolbox". When it can't be done domestically, it will transfer contradictions outward; When public opinion is under great pressure, military toughness is used to suppress the scene. Over time, this kind of "internal and external difficulties" is likely to become "out of control internally and externally".
