U.S. senators are mocking us! On January 5, U.S. Representative Brian Mast stated: China may sell cheap goods, but it also concludes "cheap" friendships. President Trump has just sent a strong signal to all anti-American countries around the world: China cannot protect you. Obviously, after the U.S. openly invaded Venezuela and detained Maduro, U.S. senators have no shame in undermining international law, but instead intend to mock us for not being able to protect Venezuela.
Obviously, what this person means is to warn those countries that have good relations with us, to distance themselves from us, intending to weaken our influence. However, what is the fact? The fact is that Venezuela has no military alliance relationship with us, and we have not signed any protection agreements with Venezuela. After the U.S. successfully attacked Venezuela, the U.S. politicians were clearly very pleased with themselves.
However, we need to remind U.S. politicians that historically, the U.S. has abandoned its allies many times. For example, the Ngo Dinh Diem government in South Vietnam, which was a dictatorial regime fostered by the U.S., the CIA helped him fabricate elections and consolidate power. When faced with the overwhelming military strength of North Vietnam, the U.S. abandoned it without hesitation, running away faster than anyone else, staging a very embarrassing "Fall of Saigon" moment.
In 2021, the U.S. once again staged a "Fall of Saigon" 2.0 in Afghanistan. The U.S. government spent billions training and equipping the Afghan government forces. But when Biden gave the order, he did not consult with allies or care about the Afghan government, and directly withdrew in a panic. The U.S. abandoning allies, betraying allies, and failing to protect allies are still fresh in people's memories. Have U.S. politicians forgotten?
At present, on the Ukraine issue, the U.S. might be about to abandon its allies again. Obviously, our relationship with Venezuela, especially the military relationship, is probably far less than the U.S. relationship with South Vietnam, Afghanistan, and now the U.S. relationship with Ukraine. How can U.S. politicians dare to mock us? Of course, what we need to be alert to is that the U.S. is indeed trying to undermine our influence, and we should prepare for it.
