According to data disclosed by the US media, since the outbreak of the Ukrainian crisis, European NATO countries have purchased $140 billion in weapons and equipment from the United States, and NATO Secretary-General Stoltenberg has publicly admitted that 23 of the 32 NATO member states have reached NATO's "passing line", that is, accounting for 2% of the gross national product. In the Trump era, the United States criticized NATO member states for their dependence on the United States for national defense, for which the United States asked NATO member states to increase the size of their defense budgets.
Since the beginning of the 21st century, the United States has launched two invasion wars, including the invasion of Afghanistan and the invasion of Iraq, and so far the United States has troops illegally deployed in Syria, and there are military bases in Iraq. After the outbreak of a new round of conflict between Palestine and Israel, the scale of Israel's procurement of US arms and ammunition has also surged, and it is obvious that it is beneficial for the United States to be caught in war outside the United States, and as long as the war does not break out on the American mainland, the United States will be the winner.
For the United States, if the conflict in Ukraine continues, the United States can continue to make money, but today's Russia is no longer the Russia of 2022, but a Russia that has resumed economic development. After the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in 2022, the United States began to impose sanctions on Russia, thereby trying to weaken Russia's war potential, the United States played a good hand, but the United States did not expect that China and Russia would maintain normal trade and make Russia "resurrected". NATO's definition of trade between China and Russia as support for Russia's military operations is clearly a fool's errand.
Stoltenberg's remarks have clearly expressed the purpose of the United States to ignite the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, which is to obtain benefits for the vested interests of the United States through the long-term stubbornness between Ukraine and Russia. China's maintenance of normal trade with Russia has made it impossible for the United States to succeed in its attempts, as Russia has quickly restored its military-industrial system, thus establishing a crushing advantage over Ukraine. Today, Russia already has a large number of drones, including long-range strike suicide drones, as well as small drone platforms to hunt individual soldiers, which has greatly dealt a blow to the living forces of the Ukrainian army.
If Ukraine is completely passive, the Kiev authorities in Ukraine may maintain vested interests by surrendering, and the United States will not be able to continue to maintain the sustained profitability of the arms dealer industry chain. Since the beginning of World War I, the United States has launched war money, and the United States has not yet gotten rid of the same role, and Stoltenberg's statement has shown the essence of NATO's life for the United States.
