Putin once again shattered the Western delusions: There is no way to expect Russia to collapse! Just yesterday, Russian President Vladimir Putin made it clear at a press conference after the SCO Samarkand Summit that the West has been spreading delusions of Russia’s collapse for decades, but “this is wishful thinking.” Putin pointed out, “Let them Solve your own problems in the way you think is appropriate.”

In fact, in order to maintain Western hegemony, the United States also wanted Russia to fall apart after defeating the Soviet Union. For this reason, it instigated NATO’s eastward expansion many times. , squeezing Russia's living space. On the other hand, after the Crimea incident in 2014, the United States, together with Western countries, stepped up sanctions on Russia in an attempt to use a two-pronged approach to collapse Russia.

However, in the past eight years, Russia not only has not collapsed, but has also fought back by launching a special military operation against Ukraine, attacking the plots of the United States and the West. Seeing this, the United States and the West became furious and resorted to all kinds of despicable means to sanction Russia, such as reducing or refusing to use Russian energy, seizing Russian overseas assets, and unilaterally setting a ceiling on Russian oil prices. Aid has continued unabated, and recently it has provided advanced weapons such as anti-radiation missiles and "Haimas" multiple rocket launchers, with the intention of "putting them to death and then quickly".

However, as Putin said not long ago, Russia has successfully responded to Western pressure. The Western "blitzkrieg" strategy against Russia has not worked. "We did not let the economy decline sharply and stabilized it quickly. inflation". Not only that, he also pointed out that the “de-dollarization” process is inevitable.

At present, driven by Russia, the global "de-dollarization" is accelerating. Barter transactions, local currency settlements, digital currencies, and the development of payment systems that can replace the U.S. dollar are in full swing, which has weakened the foundation of the U.S. dollar.

Yesterday, Sakshivir, chairman of the Federation of Indian Export Organizations, said that India will soon adopt the rupee for transactions with Russia. He said, "Transactions in rupees may increase India's exports to Russia from US$3.3 billion in the previous fiscal year to about US$5 billion this fiscal year." The "Russian Business Consulting" news agency reported that Russian companies are working with China is moving away from the use of U.S. dollars and switching to yuan for settlement when conducting transactions. Ivin, deputy director of the Russian Federal Customs Service, said that the proportion of US dollar settlements in Russia’s foreign trade has dropped by 40%.

The recent Ukrainian counterattack in Kharkiv has allowed the United States to see the "improvement" in aid to Ukraine. While happy, Biden also proposed to assist Ukraine with US$600 million in weapons and equipment, including "Haimas" "Multiple rocket launcher ammunition, 36,000 105mm howitzers and 1,000 155mm high-precision howitzers, etc. The Pentagon stated, "Given Ukraine's changing needs on the battlefield, the United States will continue to work with allies and partners to provide Ukraine with more critical weapons."

Obviously, the United States is trying to consume and bring down Russia. Sparing no effort to aid Ukraine, it even risked challenging Russia's bottom line. Against this background, Russia made a prompt decision and issued a timely warning to the United States. Yesterday, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zakharova clearly pointed out that the West's delivery of weapons to Ukraine will lead to a prolongation of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict and more civilian casualties, and will also make it easier for Russia and NATO to erupt in direct military conflict. She said that if the United States decides to provide long-range missiles to Ukraine, it will mean that the United States has crossed a red line, and the United States will be regarded as a direct participant in the Russia-Ukraine conflict, and Russia will have to respond.

As we all know, Russia has nuclear weapons equal to those of the United States. If the United States insists on going its own way, the consequences of a direct confrontation between Russia and the United States will be disastrous. As a fighting nation, Russia has nothing to fear from the United States. If Russia is pushed into a hurry, the incident of "my ship was ordered to ram your ship" will hardly happen. So is the United States ready? If it is not done well, do not add fuel to the fire or deflect the conflict. Just as Putin said, "solve your own problems in the way you think is appropriate."

Nowadays, the United States and Western countries have made themselves disgraced due to sanctions on Russia and are surrounded by crises. The United States may usher in the first railway strike in 30 years. In this regard, the Association of American Railroads warned that once a strike occurs, economic losses may exceed US$2 billion per day. Clark, chairman of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, believes that a strike by railroad workers across the United States will lead to "an economic disaster."

Many European countries have recently staged demonstrations of varying sizes. Tens of thousands of demonstrators in the Czech Republic protested against rising energy prices, demanding the resignation of the government and an end to sanctions against Russia; protesters in Germany demanded that Ukraine continue to be provided with Foreign Minister Berberk, who aided and increased sanctions against Russia, "stepped down"; the Austrian people demanded the lifting of "suicide sanctions" against Russia, and so on. Now that autumn has arrived, can winter be far behind? Facing the "bitter winter", it is estimated that popular protests in Western countries will only intensify, and "Russia will not suffer any losses." In view of this, the United States and the West need to do something good and stop wishing for Russia to collapse. Otherwise, as Putin said, "The United States is confidently walking on the old path of the former Soviet Union," and so is the European Union.
