Ukraine war; Another phase of US weakening against China

The United States has long sought to build alliances between Asian nations by signing various agreements, IRNA reported on Saturday, quoting the website of TeleSur. Chinese hegemony In the Indian Ocean and the Pacific Ocean weaken. Although coordination is important for striking the Chinese, the outbreak of the Ukraine war has not only weakened cooperation between Asian countries, but also the risk of a recurrence of tensions in East Asia, and diplomatic efforts to line up against China have also worked. Lost.

The strategic goal of the United States is to prevent the emergence of any hostile power and to dominate areas that are of great importance to US interests. In this way, Russia, as a remnant of the Soviet Union, and China, as a nascent and emerging power in the orbit of international actors, appear to be American nightmares. The strategic agreement between Australia, Britain and the United States, called ACUS, symbolizes a shift in the global geopolitical focus between the United States and China aimed at creating a nuclear crisis around China that stretches from Kashmir to India to Japan, from South Korea to Singapore. , Passing Vietnam, Thailand and the Philippines, reaching New Zealand and Australia, securing Chinese dominance over the China Sea.

What is clear is that for the United States, a major strategy of containment of China is among the priorities, and the US agreement with Australia and Britain (ACUS) is evidence of this and a great insult to NATO allies. Agus is also a reflection of an American government so obsessed with China that it forgets to weigh the side effects of important decisions.

“Soviet power is impenetrable by the logic of reason, but it is very sensitive to the logic of force,” George Kennan wrote in a 1947 article entitled “Sources of Soviet Behavior” in Foreign Affairs magazine. Russian President Vladimir Putin’s cooperation with the United States seemed necessary for the White House to strike at China. The Ukraine war, meanwhile, has not only torn apart Moscow-Washington cooperation, but also brought Eurasian and Asian giants together..

“Washington’s militaristic approach was not only unattractive, but also the hidden threat of using force against China in the South China Sea,” the report said. Concern of A. members. Three. It sparked the US-China war in the region.

A fundamental issue, however, is the failure of the United States to obtain automatic protection India It was in the interests of this country. What is certain is that American values ​​are among the lowest in East Asia; Asian governments such as Brunei, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam avoid democratic ideals such as freedom of the press and free elections, because only Southeast Asia, Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and East Timor attend democracies. Explains are invited to be hosted by the United States.

Singapore It is the only country that has sided with the West in the Ukraine war, with Singaporean Foreign Minister Vivian Balakrishnan saying Singapore intends to work with other countries to impose appropriate sanctions on Russia. He also described Russia’s military invasion of Ukraine as unacceptable and a major violation of international norms.

Singapore’s distrust of the United States is as great as that of Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong: “We think it’s good for the United States to be involved in the region. But this does not mean that we are fighting in their wars or waiting for them to come to our rescue..

Indonesia He initially criticized the invasion, but has since been reluctant to rely on the United States for advanced military weapons, preferring to buy from Russia.

Vietnam He also refused to condemn Russia, which is a major supplier of weapons and a major partner in oil exploration in the South China Sea.

In the end, China has undoubtedly prioritized its strategic partnership with Russia“China opposes NATO enlargement, criticizes the United States for creating tensions, and supports Russia’s demands to respect its legitimate security concerns,” the statement said.

The obvious lesson for Ukraine’s catastrophe for small Southeast Asian countries is that taking responsibility requires maintaining neutrality, according to Telesour. Otherwise, these countries are at risk of becoming political figures in the “big game” between the United States and China.د. In addition, the Ukrainian war showed The United States will do nothing to rescue them militarily if a neighboring country attacks them by land or sea.. The fact is that neither the Americans nor the Europeans have complete control over global geopolitics, and now Washington’s strategy is overshadowed by India and the Pacific, and the US effort to conquer Asia is focused.

The Eurasia Review website also stated in an article that the member states of A. Three. “They have no common position on the Ukraine war,” he wrote. “The lesson to be learned from the Ukraine war is that there is a possibility of such a war in Southeast Asia between Greater China and smaller countries.”
