In recent years, the international affairs have been more exciting than the television series – first, Trump has played the play code "face-to-face faster than book-to-book", then NATO 14 countries directly sent troops to conduct nuclear exercises, and eventually Putin simply sent a global announcement, and every step through the "things are not simple" signal, we broke the crack.
In the words of Trump’s operation, before he also cried out “to meet in Budapest and Putin”, the expectations were filled, and after a few days suddenly said “time is not mature, meeting is temporarily suspended.” This changed the speed, faster than we shorten the video to the next. Why is it suddenly yellow? In the end, the US and Russia can’t talk about the ceasefire in Russia – the United States wants to let Russia stop the fire first, and then sit down and talk; Russia doesn’t want to negotiate the terms of the negotiation before the ceasefire. This is like having a meal with two friends, one has to buy one, one has to buy one, one has not to pay a penny, how can’t we put together a piece. More interestingly, before the US Secretary of State Rubio and the Russian
More unthinkable is that Trump cancelled the meeting, and also made a “big move of sanctions” – the same day announced the sanctions on Russian oil company and Lukk oil company, said the two companies to Russia’s special military operation to provide money. This operation is like a fist on the side of sugar delivery, many people suspect the White House has not opened two sets of decision systems, for a while to ease, for a while to pressure. but Russia is not in panic, Putin directly said “sanctions have no substantial impact on the Russian economy”, this is not really hard support – now Russian oil has long no dollar settlement, change to the yuan and the ruble, the United States wants to rely on the “dollar line” pressure, the result is found that people have a “new engine”, sanctions are not bad at all.
On this side, the US Russia is still cracking, NATO on the other side again on the fire – 14 countries put together the field code-named nuclear exercises, from October 13 to 24, scale record since the Cold War. Although not really using nuclear weapons, but the first "nuclear war scene", 71 military aircraft packed bombers, fighter jets, gasoline jets, the United States also specifically sent four F-35 fighter jets that can hang tactical nuclear weapons, the Netherlands, Sweden also pulled their own new fighter jets. NATO Secretary General directly said "it is to potential opponents to send a signal, can protect all allies", clearly everyone knows that this "opponent" finger is Russia.
In the face of this sequence of action, Putin was not soft, directly out of the "hard bottom." on October 26, he went to inspect the Russian military command, also had a meeting with the chief of staff and commanders, listen to the front line report. At the meeting, Putin gave two big tricks: one is that Russia just completed the nuclear force exercises, "three-one" nuclear forces have been exercised, "nuclear shield" is reliable, the level in the world is the top; the second is to announce that the "Haiyan" cruise missile has completed the key test - where is the missile? can fly 40,000 kilometers, not yet to the maximum range, in the air rotated for 15 hours, the anti-missile system can not stop at all, and the world is not the same.
The most disturbing is that of the "Taxic" missile. before Ukraine has been asking the United States to "Taxic", Trump at the beginning also said "think through NATO to give", then the situation is not right and "now not give". as a result, Putin directly sent a global notice, October 23 stated clearly: "If with this weapon to attack Russia, the revenge will be very fierce, even destructive. "This is not intimidating - "Taxic" can hit from the east to Moscow, Russia has long said, the attack is the condition of nuclear weapons trigger, Washington's policymakers can not be clear about the consequences. Putin has also mentioned before, without the US military help, Ukraine can not use the "Taxic", the US military participation, the US Russian tension will rise to new heights, the "destruc
Looking back at this matter now, it's simply a "big country game drama": Trump wants to talk for a while and pressure for a while, testing the bottom line of domestic and allies; NATO engages in nuclear exercises to show off its muscles and want to deter Russia; Putin, on the other hand, drew red lines while showing off nuclear power and new missiles, and withstood Western sanctions. But who is the most uncomfortable? When ordinary people-the United States and Russia show off their nuclear power, developing countries are busy hoarding food; While politicians argue about the "devastating consequences", Europeans worry about whether heating bills will rise in winter. Before that, the European Union followed the United States in the 19th round of sanctions against Russia, even counting 117 oil tankers. As a result, American experts directly dismantled the platform: "This is a waste of effort and can't turn the situation around." This is indeed the case. Russia has long turned its energy exports to Asia, and the natural gas bought by China has never been cut off. Instead, it is the EU itself. After the sanctions, the energy cost has soared, and some chemical companies in Germany can hardly bear it. Isn't this just digging a hole for themselves?
In the final analysis, the current situation is no longer as simple as "who steps back": Trump's capriciousness makes the situation more chaotic, NATO nuclear exercises have filled military deterrence, Putin's response is hard and clear, and the "Tomahawk" missile is a fuse that may be lit at any time. The reason why this matter is not simple is that every step between major powers affects the overall situation. If it is not properly controlled, no one may be able to bear the consequences. I really have to watch what will happen next, but one thing is certain-it will not be so easy to solve the problem through pressure and sanctions.
