Chapter 1546: The Key Turkey
The foundation of the United States' global hegemony, from a simple point of view, is the hegemony of the global dollar.
But it is obvious that the hegemony of the US dollar is completely supported by the strong strength of the US military.
Now the myth of the US military's invincibility has been broken, and the US military cannot regain its lost strong image in a short time.
Although the Iraqi-Syrian Federation did not take the opportunity to expand the war, it launched a new round of offensives against US military bases in Europe, Africa, and Pakistan.
But behind the one-sided situation of the US military at the moment, there is a bigger crisis hidden.
This crisis has seriously involved the most basic survival status of the US military.
This kind of crisis cannot be solved by defeating the Iraq-Syria Federation in a full-scale war. Even if a full-scale war breaks out, this crisis will further escalate, and eventually evolve into a situation where the US military's global strategy completely collapses.
As the world's largest, the U.S. military has actually understood a truth better in its operations over the years. The more glamorous its appearance, the higher its status, and the more it is envied by countless people, the more calculations it needs.
Because behind these countless envy, there are many ambitions hidden. Once the United States makes a mistake, the loss will be immeasurable.
The European Union, Russia, and my hometown are actually the most threatening potential opponents of the United States. Although the current Iraq-Syria Federation has strong military strength, Obama also sees it very clearly.
The current political influence of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation is far from being able to pose a threat to the global strategy of the US military.
What really makes Obama feel dangerous is his hometown of Russia and the European Union.
These three are what Obama is most wary of at the moment. During this summit, the powerful image of the United States has collapsed, and many ambitions and actions will inevitably follow.
The Iraqi-Syrian Federation can defeat the U.S. military, but it cannot defeat the global interests of the U.S. military, and these black hands in the dark are the biggest threat to destroying the United States.
In Obama's view, this event cannot continue no matter what, otherwise the entire United States will fall into an unprecedented crisis. He does not want to be the president who single-handedly brought about the complete decline of the United States.
But the topic came back again, if it could really end so quickly, he wouldn't need to be so troubled.
Fortunately, this time I came to Huaxia,
Obama has also made a decision. Once things really happen and the United States is on the verge of a real strategic crisis, he will immediately start the procedure to completely stop this war.
For Russia, Obama has also made a series of deployments.
How can Obama not feel Putin's ambitions for Ukraine?
Since the Iraqi-Syrian Federation entered the war, Obama has also been paying close attention to Russia's actions, especially after Russia captured Ukrainian special forces a few days ago, he became more vigilant.
Before Putin's arrival, he made a surprise inspection of the Western Military Region, and Obama naturally received a signal from Putin that Russia was about to use force against Ukraine.
This kind of signal is not just speculation by Obama and American think tanks, but through the intelligence personnel lurking in Russia, it is clear that Russia is secretly preparing for a blitzkrieg against Ukraine.
The United States is not yet clear about the tactics Russia has formulated, but one thing the United States can be sure of is that when the powerful image of the United States collapsed, the main purpose of Russia’s attack on Ukraine was to solve Ukraine’s problems, but there was another purpose , that is to erect a strong image of Russia.
No need to think too much, Obama also knows that if Russia wants to send troops to Ukraine at all, it must be a thunderbolt, occupying the initiative of the war in one go, and calming down the situation in Ukraine at lightning speed.
At that time, the images of Russia and the United States will change.
Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Putin has begun to grasp the overall situation of Russia, and Russia has tried to restore the influence of the Soviet period.
And it can confront the United States in a balanced manner in the direction of Europe and the Pacific Ocean, instead of being surrounded by NATO to the door like it is now.
Urgently changing this situation, Russia needs a strong victory to stabilize its global position and even further enhance its international influence.
The Ukrainian issue, when necessary, the United States can completely abandon, because this move has been exchanged with the Kurdish issue in the Middle East when it is playing games with Russia.
The core of the problem is not Ukraine, but Russia's ambitions. The problem that the whole thing ultimately revolves around is Turkey, which seems to be irrelevant.
From the beginning to the end of this matter, Ukraine is only the fuse, but whether it will explode or not depends on Turkey, which is holding the torch at this moment.
Erdogan's recent performance has disappointed the United States. The many secret meetings with Russia, and even meeting with Putin in Hangzhou, gave Obama a very bad premonition.
The most important thing is that Erdogan's attitude towards sending troops to the Iraq-Syria Federation has recently become ambiguous.
What's more, there have been more than one pieces of intelligence from inside Turkey indicating that the Erdogan government has secretly contacted high-level officials of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation more than once, and there are even internal intelligence that Turkey is very likely to be determined to withdraw from NATO.
This news made Obama a little restless. Turkey is already at the key to this life-and-death game.
Obama is not worried about the contact between Russia and Turkey at all, because Obama understands that Russia's purpose is also to get Turkey to participate in the war, thereby diverting NATO's more energy from the Middle East.
But Turkey's contact with the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, this problem is serious.
At the same time, Obama is also very worried that the contact between Cai Ruichen and Putin will change some agreements currently secretly reached between the United States and Russia.
In the face of better national interests, any agreement is just a piece of waste paper, let alone a secret agreement without written records.
Now, Obama is worried that Turkey will really make a decision to sell out the interests of the United States, because as a neighboring country of the Iraqi-Syrian Federation, Turkey has too many ties with the Iraqi-Syrian Federation. Big problem.
Is the Turkish government really determined to go to war with the Iraqi-Syrian Federation?
This issue is no longer the key. The real key is, what new choice will Turkey make to leave NATO and integrate into the Middle East? Or continue to stay in Europe and NATO, and send troops to fight against the Iraqi-Syrian Federation?
