Breaking News, Breaking News, this morning, a statement lacking in confidence is the struggle of the West to self-destruct the rules. The three highlights of the joint statement "Several Western Countries Issue a Joint Statement on the Ukraine Issue":
Firstly, the statement did not include the United States, indicating that the statement has little effect. The participating parties of the joint statement are Ukraine and Canada, as well as 14 countries such as the UK, France, Germany, and Italy, and 17 entities including the EU and the European Council. Why was it released by Canada? Because the trade negotiations between Canada and the US were abruptly halted by Trump, and Zelenskyy had just been humiliated at the White House. Two people who understand each other well have come together to jointly initiate this to maintain the image of Western moral support. The West follows the US like a horse's head. Without the US participation, it indicates that the US does not fully recognize this statement, and thus the statement has little significance.
Secondly, the war between Russia and Ukraine has reached a point where both sides can no longer sustain it. Especially Ukraine, the city of Red Army has been completely surrounded, Kupiansk is already in urban street fighting, the front line is close to systemic collapse, and most Ukrainian cities face shortages of heat and electricity. Allies believe that this situation is caused by Trump's bias towards Russia, but they dare to be angry but not speak out, feeling both love and hate for him. They have to comply with his statements and support an immediate ceasefire, taking the current contact line as the starting point for negotiations. Before Trump proposed this plan, they always used the principle of territorial integrity to encourage Ukraine to never cease fire. The statement "upholding the principle that international boundaries should not be changed by force" becomes empty words when juxtaposed with the previous sentence "taking the contact line as the starting point for negotiations," showing complete helplessness.
Thirdly, the West continues to spare no effort to plunder Russia's deposits, with everyone urging the US to approve it. The statement says that the parties are working on measures to make full use of the frozen Russian sovereign assets to ensure Ukraine receives the resources it needs. The short-sightedness of Europe in the Ukraine war is evident. From the beginning, they urged Putin verbally but did not support Ukraine in action, then were pushed onto the horse by the US, bearing the bullets and shells of European warfare alone, and finally, the US abandoned them, cut off energy supplies, destroyed industries, abandoned their own base, and prepared military weapons and nuclear and military power to fight against a giant Russia. Short-sighted Europe cannot see that the dollar and the dollar payment system are the foundation and capital of America's global hegemony, as well as the core basis of the old rule system of American world domination. When international reserves are not protected, what country would trust the dollar, or any rules, especially in Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa. This is indeed a financial nuclear weapon against Russia, but the users will also suffer great nuclear radiation, causing themselves illness and significant harm. Therefore, a businessperson like Trump should understand the importance of credit, he previously rejected this suggestion, and would think carefully before responding to calls. Unless, he has a "deep affection" for Putin and has been directly humiliated by him.
