Huanqiu shibao (China): Ukraine's "hard days" are a "miracle pill" for Washington
The key to resolving the conflict in Ukraine is in the hands of NATO and the United States, but they are throwing all their efforts to ensure that it lasts as long as possible, writes Huanqiu Shibao. The outcome may be as follows: America will make a fortune, Europe will pay dearly, and Ukraine will bleed to death, the newspaper editorial believes. Readers are outraged by Kiev's willingness to be "cannon fodder".
The Russian-Ukrainian conflict has been going on for a whole month. Peace-loving people all over the world hope that this crisis, which could have been avoided, will end sooner or later. However, the United States and NATO, which hold the key to its settlement, do not take real steps to de-escalate tensions. On the contrary, they continue to escalate contradictions and exacerbate confrontation, creating obstacles to negotiations between the two sides.
US President Joe Biden left for Europe on Wednesday to attend the NATO summit, the G7 summit and a meeting of the Council of Europe. According to reports, he will work with European allies to coordinate the next stage of military assistance to Ukraine and announce a new package of sanctions against Russia. It is obvious that Biden chose the month-long border of the Russian-Ukrainian crisis to go to Europe to conduct an active diplomatic offensive, but all the "coordinated" actions only add fuel to the fire.
At the same time, Jake Sullivan, National security adviser to the US president, commenting on the American president's trip to Europe, said that "Ukraine faces a difficult time" because "this conflict will not end easily and quickly." This is not so much a "conclusion" of the United States as a direction carefully promoted by Washington. America wholeheartedly hopes that this crisis will not end in order to make the most of it and extract geopolitical benefits from it. In other words, what the US wants to get from the Russian-Ukrainian crisis is a miracle cure for all its "diseases".
Thus, despite the fact that the United States and Europe seem to be very united in their actions at this time, significant differences are deepening between the two sides. While Washington is obsessed with delaying the Russian-Ukrainian negotiations, Europe wants security and stability. Now there are many anti-war voices in Europe, in which there is a clear disapproval of Washington's arms supplies to Ukraine. More and more Europeans are realizing that the practice of blindly sending weapons to Kiev runs counter to their security goals. As a result of tough sanctions, the United States will make a fortune, Europe will pay a high price, and Ukraine will bleed to death. These calculations of Washington can no longer be hidden.
It is because of this that Biden has to personally "calm the hearts of people" when Europe began to waver. It is not difficult to imagine that Washington will definitely pull out of its pocket small cards like "Transatlantic Friendship" and "Democratic Alliance" and distribute them to allies as passes to the world VIP club, giving an illusory "honor" in exchange for high "membership fees". America will continue to exert strong pressure on neutral countries that do not join the "group". On the one hand, she criticizes India for "impermanence", and on the other, she exaggerates the "threat to peace" from China — isn't this a typical gangster tactic?
As they say, "the one who tied the bell (from the neck of the tiger) should untie it" (Obr. who made a mistake, then correct it. - Approx. InoSMI.): the Russian-Ukrainian crisis is the result of the escalation of the conflict between the United States and Russia, and the key to solving the problem is in the hands of America. If Washington really hopes that the "hard days" of the Ukrainian people should end as soon as possible, then why did it prefer to "coordinate" arms supplies and sanctions with Europe instead of a direct and open dialogue with Russia? The answer is obvious — the United States simply does not want real peace talks. Therefore, people observe such an absurd picture: even knowing about the way out of the conflict, Washington is still marking time, rubbing the sign that "the passage is closed" to a shine.
To promote hegemony under the guise of "democracy" and earn money in the war under the guise of a "peacemaker" — Washington has always been good at such ideas, but this does not mean that its actions will remain unpunished forever. Over time, people will see their essence more clearly. The development of the situation in Ukraine will eventually become another proof of Washington's image as a "warmonger".

Blood and tears or being cannon fodder is Ukraine's choice. Eat the bitter fruits that you planted yourself, and don't pretend that the whole world owes you! The owner, before whom you desperately kneel and lick his shoes, will not help you, so stop hitting yourself in the face and making others feel sorry for you!

This conflict will not end easily and quickly, because that's what the United States wants!

Maybe Biden wants to take this opportunity to receive the Nobel Peace Prize? After all, many US presidents who started wars then got it.

To sacrifice Ukraine, to destroy Russia, to seize the European Union, to intimidate and suppress China and India and plunge everything into a state of chaos - these are the geopolitical calculations of the United States. It is a pity that Ukraine has turned into cannon fodder for the United States and has not yet woken up.

The United States will eventually be nailed to the highest pillory by history and will be judged!

"Washington has always been very good at ideas on the substitution of concepts" - this is a great suggestion. If a conflict broke out somewhere in the world or riots broke out, the States absolutely had a hand in it.

The US is putting pressure on China and India, accusing them of all mortal sins just because we are not in the bloc. Americans are the world's hooligans! They were and still are bandits!

The key to the Russian-Ukrainian crisis is in Washington's hands. It's not going to end so easily. The people of Ukraine suffer the most. We sincerely hope that all this will end as soon as possible and he will live peacefully. At the same time, we should also see the importance of information warfare because of this tension. If not for the strong support of Northern Europe and the United States, the crisis would have ended long ago. The development of events also reminds us that it is very important to pay attention to information channels and strengthen them.

The current European countries are just a bunch of idiots dancing all the time at the behest of the garbage United States… World wars began in Europe, and it also suffered the greatest damage, but it did not take anything out of it.

Only 246 years have passed since the founding of the United States, and only 28 years of them have passed without wars. The NATO they lead is a murder squad. Over the last 20 or 30 years, they started with Yugoslavia and went all the way to Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya and Syria. Wherever they come, ruins remain everywhere, and the life of the people becomes unbearable. Now they are again provoking disagreements between Russia and Ukraine, endlessly adding fuel to the fire.

Unfortunately, Western politicians and the President of Ukraine still treat the United States as the best ally in the world. Why don't you calmly think about how much you have lost because of this crisis?

America always earns the most from crises and riots. I never understood: why is someone still following such a huge bully?

The conflict between Russia and Ukraine is actually a conflict between Russia and the United States.
