Chapter 1336 Contradiction
At this time, undercurrents are surging in the United States.
As the crisis spreads, internal contradictions in the United States have become acute.
Various voices are emerging in the United States.
For example, in order to prevent the new government from cutting military spending in the next year, the military-industrial complex wants to instigate actions against Libya or Persia, or help its ally Britain fight the second Falklands War.
In short, the military-industrial complex is most afraid of cutting military spending, and war is the best.
For example, those whose interests have been damaged in recent years are very dissatisfied with the high military spending, and want to push the new government to cut military spending, preferably to the Clinton administration.
According to them, the focus now is to save the economy!
Only when the economy is good can everyone live a better life.
So many people are calling for the withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan and Iraq.
They believe that by withdrawing troops from Afghanistan and Iraq, military spending can be greatly reduced and the money can be used to develop the economy.
There are also some people who are very dissatisfied with the government's rescue of Wall Street investment banks and financial institutions.
The phenomenon of being too big to fail and so on stimulates the hearts of the bottom people in the United States.
In addition, a large number of Latin American immigrants sneaked into the United States, making the security environment in the United States never good, and even going downhill.
Mexican warlords fought each other, and artillery shells even hit the United States.
Barack sought foreign aid to no avail, and began to work hard inside the United States. For example, he took health care reform as the main direction of his domestic "New Deal" and intended to pass his health care reform bill in the U.S. House of Representatives.
For example, when there were internal conflicts, the Barack government began to guide and further divide the crowd through identity politics to avoid serious class confrontation in the crisis.
In addition, in terms of diplomacy, the Barack government shifted the focus of anti-terrorism from Iraq to Afghanistan. And pay attention to consolidating alliances with Britain, Japan, Australia and other countries, cultivating partnerships with Brazil, Turkey and Barak and other countries, building constructive relations with China and Russia, and actively contacting Persia, Cuba, Venezuela, and Colombia.
Moreover, through helping Israel in exchange for Jewish capital to buy national debt, a large number of advanced weapons and equipment were shipped to Israel.
You know, these advanced weapons and equipment are all in active service in the United States.
Barack has no solution to the Israeli-Palestinian issue, but wants to maintain the status quo.
But there is another thing in front of Barack, which is the dispute between Britain and Argentina over the Falklands. If this continues, the second Falklands War may break out.
Once the United States chooses to stand with Britain, it will be very detrimental to the national interests of the United States.
Because now, the whole of South America is quietly coming together, and the South American Union is already on the road to regional economic integration.
Moreover, in recent years, the armed forces of South American countries have been greatly developed, and their military strength is not weak.
Argentina has an aircraft carrier, even if it is only a light aircraft carrier, it has to be taken seriously.
Not to mention, Argentina has advanced missile boats, torpedo boats, frigates, and destroyers!
The United States has a lot to say about the performance of these advanced warships.
In many military exercises conducted by American think tanks, Britain has lost more than it has won.
Before this, Britain wanted to win the support of the United States, but George Wharton refused, which led to the British government selling its property to raise funds for an expedition.
The withdrawal of British troops from Afghanistan and Iraq also led to insufficient coalition forces. Even if the United States transferred troops from other places to Afghanistan and Iraq, it still lost some of its controlled areas.
Unlike George Walton, Barack, as a Democrat, pays more attention to ideology, and he also pays more attention to the relationship with allies.
So far, the United States has a clear understanding that the United States alone is not enough to dominate the world!
This is true for the economy, the military, and politics!
In terms of economy, the United States has created the North American Free Trade Area, intending to create an economic alliance and economic integration in the North American region. Although various troubles have occurred during the implementation process, the United States has benefited overall. At least the United States has a greater influence on Canada and Mexico.
In terms of military, whether it is the Gulf War, the Kosovo War, the Afghanistan War or the Iraq War, the United States did not act on its own, but pulled its allies to form a coalition. In this way, it appears to be powerful, allowing allies to send troops and money, and also bear part of the losses.
In terms of politics, it focuses on the relationship with allies.
Barack is more inclined to consciousness.
He is even brewing a plan - the strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific!
However, to implement the strategy of returning to the Asia-Pacific, the United States must adjust its military deployment, otherwise the current military strength of the United States in the Asia-Pacific is still far behind.
Check out the correct version in the 16-9 book forum!
This visit made Barack realize that the other party was not the same as he knew.
The more he understood, the more frightened Barack was.
Since taking over the US government, Barack has cursed George Walton in his heart more than once, thinking that George Walton is simply the worst president in the history of the United States.
How good was the situation in the United States at the end of Clinton's term.
As a result, only eight years later, he was left with a mess.
The huge national debt and the interest paid every year are very shocking; the high military expenditure, the military-industrial complex has more than doubled its power and influence than eight years ago; the bad economy, under the impact of the crisis, the number of unemployed people in the United States is heading towards 50 million; the record-breaking inflation makes people miserable
The original alliance framework has been greatly broken.
In Europe, the Franco-German alliance leads the EU to move towards integration. The US and British troops withdraw from Germany, Germany has achieved true independence, and the United States has no troops stationed in France, which has reduced the influence of the United States on France and Germany to the lowest level since World War II.
Many European countries are deeply influenced by France and Germany, which has seriously weakened the influence of the United States in Europe.
The rapid reaction force formed by France and Germany is gradually replacing NATO, which has seriously weakened NATO's influence. So far, more than one European country has mocked NATO for being "brain dead"!
Turkey, because the two sides tore their faces on the issue of interest distribution in the Iraq War, it is not so easy for Barack to repair relations with Turkey.
On the other hand, it is the Middle East, or the Arab world.
Because of the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, the United States has a bad image in the Arab world, and is almost equated with the Jews.
In Barack's opinion, the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq should not have been launched at all!
Look at how many years the two wars have been fought, how much money has been spent, how many casualties have been caused, and so far there is no sign of the war ending.
If possible, Barack wants to end these two wars. In his opinion, they are two huge quagmires. (End of this chapter)
