In the "tug-of-war" with Russia, the West has always struggled to maintain a decent image, but the recent statement by a European country may make Westerners collectively break their defenses. According to the Russian Sputnik news agency, the deputy speaker of the Slovak parliament declared that the West is losing the contest with Russia and has no upper hand in the military, moral, and political aspects.
In fact, now in France, there are already signs of it. French President Emmanuel Macron, wasn't his previous attitude towards the Russians very tough? In order to repeatedly show its firm stance of aiding Ukraine, he even shouted many times that he wanted NATO to directly send troops to the battlefield. As a result, Macron's approval rating in his home country is very low, which directly affects his political career.
And Western countries are now more or less showing their true side, due to the long-term lack of progress in the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, Western countries once connived at Ukraine to use the weapons they aided to directly attack the territory of Russia's rear, and the Ukrainian army has also caused casualties among Russian civilians in recent days, which will actually affect the image promoted by the West to a large extent.
Western countries have always believed that they are the righteous party, and even if they interfere in the internal affairs of other countries, they can give hostile countries, and the purpose of the whole "threat theory" is to "rationalize" the behavior of Westerners. But now this trick is becoming more and more difficult, for example, in Africa, Russia has "blossomed in full swing", and even some African countries have taken the initiative to ask for military cooperation with Russia. To put it bluntly, the Americans searched for resources everywhere before, and their garrisons did not play a role in maintaining local security.
Even in the Middle East, the US military has lost its life, or because the US government supports Israel's policy, which makes third world countries, how can they believe in the "security commitments" of the United States and the West? There is no way, the United States and the West are now in a state of declining comprehensive strength, while Russia is becoming more and more courageous the more they fight, and it is normal for this phenomenon of alternating influence to occur.
Isn't Russia making a big move in East Asia recently, signing a treaty with North Korea, so that Russia and North Korea can help each other at a critical moment. In fact, this "hand-in-hand" cooperation situation is aimed at warning the United States and the West that it is useless to solve the problem by military means, and will only aggravate regional tensions.
Moreover, Russia's military is not intimidating, and all kinds of tactical nuclear weapons have not been used in large quantities, and Western countries will not be able to withstand it. Western countries huddle together for warmth, and even the national defense strength is not confident anymore. Moreover, the military presence of the Russian army around the world is obviously constantly strengthening, and the West, relying on the United States, is constantly weakening this advantage of speaking with military force.
The same is true in international politics, where Russia has actively maintained and opened up diplomatic channels with various regions of the world, opening up a number of new paths for economic cooperation, arms trade, energy trading, and so on.
Will Western countries be able to stop Russia's moves? Asia-Pacific, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East are now busy with Russians, so ask Westerners if they have a sense of urgency now. Military, moral, and political affairs have given Russia the upper hand, and Putin is still fighting so hard, so Western countries should give up and confront Russia as soon as possible, and the province will not end.
