We can use the conflicts of Russia and Ukraine to reflect on the pressures between Taiwan and China here, off of the Front Page Sections, translated…
Since last December, Russian sent the troops to the Ukrainian border, for the primary reason of N.A.T.O. expanding eastward, accepting Ukraine as a member, but at the end of January, the U.S. and N.A.T.O. had, sent a formal written note to deny Russian’s requests of not including Ukraine as a member of N.A.T.O. While beginning in February, the U.S. continually told, that the conditions of Ukraine is getting worse, the EU leaders of Germany and France, the presidents of both started mediating between the capital cities of Kiev and Moscow, and the tensions seemed to have lessen up a bit; but, Russia started using military forces in the eastern portion of Ukraine, following, the Russian armed forces opened up attack on Ukraine on the twenty-fourth, this was the most serious in Europe since World War II; how did it lead to this? What’s to become of the futures? What are, the sides’, considerations?
The igniting point of the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia was how Ukraine amended its constitution, and listed entering into E.U. and N.A.T.O.; the Russians believed, that the Ukrainians and Russians were from the same blood ancestry, as U.S.S.R. dissolved, it’d announced its independence, and became actively in trying to become a member of N.A.T.O., damaging the pride of Russia, to causing the country danger. But, the troops entering didn’t have a strong enough response from the west, with limited results, and Russia declaring war on Ukraine, is Russia’s way, of, breaking N.A.T.O.s protection of Ukraine step by step.
how Russia is trying to “swallow” up all the smaller countries surrounding its borders…
Ukraine clearly, is the victim of this war, dealing with the tough neighbor of Russia, and it didn’t know any better, kept striking that cord of tension with Russia, and all it wants, is the other European countries, the U.S.’s support that wouldn’t help its case; although the major countries of the west is leading Ukraine into NATO membership, but once the Russian army pressured, first, it’d stressed that Ukraine is not a member country of N.A.T.O., that N.A.T.O. stated that it wouldn’t send the troops to help out directly, opening that door to Russian invasion, and when the Russians invaded, Ukraine doesn’t receive any substantial aid from N.A.T.O., and can only wait for its own, annihilation.
The U.S. in this whole thing, is no innocent bystander, since the U.S.S.R. dissolved, it kept allying the countries around Russia with the satellites such as Poland, Hungary, getting the surrounding nations into joining in N.A.T.O., and currently, it’d built up the missile base just six hundred kilometers from Moscow in Poland, clearly, trying to, circle Russia, and, it’s a wonder, that Russia is now, on the, defensive.
The U.S. has a history of invading into the territories of other countries and intervening into other countries’ affairs, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, etc., etc., etc., and at the same time, it’d not taken care of its own internal affairs, with the debts of over $300 billion and still growing, it’s no longer strong enough, to be the cop of the world, but, U.S. has the most motives for war between Russia and Ukraine, as the stock prices, the exchange rates are bound to fall, with the cost of materials on the rise, and all the investors would turn toward U.S.
what Taiwan-China relation is…
The leader countries of E.U., France and Germany hoped for the war the least, because, they are highly dependent on Russia for their countries’ energy resources, with the fierce Russian polar bear before them, the wolf in sheep’s skin of U.S on their back, but are, pressured and manipulated by the U.S., to allow Ukraine to have that ticket into N.A.T.O., and to the end, the leaders of the two countries tried to mediate, and, it was to no avail.
The wars of Russia and Ukraine, for the time being it would be Ukraine that’s lost, and that would end that. With the long-term effects being, tilting the settings of the gambles of all the other major powers in the world, causing the tensions in the continent of Europe altogether. Taiwan, although, too far away from all of this, but, like Ukraine, we’re also, neighbors to a strong force, and we should watch the Russian-Ukraine conflicts closely, to see if there’s something, we can learn from.
And so, this is how this country is in a similar place as Ukraine right now, and, if Russia goes to war with Ukraine, it would, surely, cause a whole lot of shifts in power, and, the end result, will be something that Taiwan can learn from, but, before someone throws that first, physical punch, it’s still, too soon to predict what would happen.
