The Russia-Ukraine conflict won't stop!

If the four eastern regions of Ukraine and Crimea are effectively controlled by Russia, Europe will remain under its strategic deterrence shadow for a long time—this will not only strengthen Europe's dependence on NATO but also allow the United States to completely dominate European security leadership, completely stifling Europe's strategic autonomy.

For the United States, the Russia-Ukraine conflict presents a delicate "dual-track benefit": a Russian victory could bind Europe, while a Russian defeat could push the East-West confrontation front to the China-Russia border; only a prolonged war of attrition does not align with U.S. interests.

For Europe, the current historical window of opportunity due to Russia's relatively declining national power is fleeting. If this strategic opportunity is not seized now, it may be difficult to gain such significant geopolitical breakthroughs in the future.

For the East, as long as Russia does not disintegrate, whether Russia is strong or weak no longer matters!
