The Ukrainian government, at the center of the recent storm of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, seems to be out of step with the US led NATO recently.Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky has recently publicly stated multiple times that there is no possibility of large-scale conflict in the tense situation along the Russia Ukraine border, calling for calm and criticizing the hasty evacuation of Western citizens, which has caused significant economic losses to Ukraine.

The US military has been rapidly increasing its troops to NATO member countries around Russia in the past two days, with a determination and speed far exceeding the expectations of the international community! On Wednesday, US President Biden ordered the dispatch of nearly 3000 more soldiers to Poland and Romania for the public reason of protecting Eastern Europe from the possible outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, which affects the security of NATO members near Ukraine. After consultation with NATO and NATO member countries such as Poland and Romania, the first batch of 2000 renowned American ace paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division were dispatched from the United States mainland to Poland, while 1000 elite troops were deployed from the US base in Germany to Romania.Less than 24 hours after Biden's order, a US Air Force C-13 transport plane landed at Yasinka Airport in Poland on the 4th. Subsequently, a large number of US 82nd Airborne Division personnel arrived in Poland on Saturday (February 5th) to reinforce NATO allies in Eastern Europe.

Rzeszow Jasionka Airport in Poland is located near the border between Poland and Ukraine. The US 82nd Airborne Division, as the vanguard force in various large-scale wars, has always played the role of an advance team. Russia has repeatedly denied plans to invade Ukraine, and the Ukrainian government has publicly stated that there is currently no imminent threat of Russian military invasion. The US military government just announced two weeks ago that it had mobilized 8500 soldiers to prepare for deployment, and will decide when to send troops to reinforce Eastern European NATO member countries after further evaluation by NATO. NATO defense ministers will meet on February 16-17 to discuss the reinforcement action. Why did Biden suddenly send troops ahead of schedule?

On the one hand, there are more than 100000 heavily armored troops deployed by Russia on the Ukrainian border, and there is currently no sign of withdrawal. On the other hand, it cannot be ruled out that the United States and NATO may take advantage of this extreme pressure opportunity initiated by Russia to provide a large-scale military aid to Ukraine in a legitimate and confrontational manner, strengthening Ukraine's ability to resist Russian invasion. At the same time, by increasing troops to NATO member countries around Russia, Ukraine may simply be accepted into NATO, at least making Ukraine an actual "associate member" of NATO. All parties are taking advantage of the opportunity presented by Russia's proactive challenge to maximize their own interests.At the end of December last year, Russia suddenly sent over 100000 troops to march along the Ukrainian border in both directions. Subsequently, they demanded that the United States and NATO must sign an internationally binding agreement with Russia, legally committing to never accept Ukraine as a NATO member. They threatened to take corresponding military measures if there was no clear response within two weeks. The United States, NATO, and the Organization for Security and Co operation in Europe (OSCE), which were shocked, first firmly rejected the draft agreement submitted by Russia in negotiations, and then quickly rejected Russia's request in a written response after Russia imposed a written response.

Russia's demands were unexpectedly rejected by the United States and NATO, and no military measures were taken. On the contrary, last week, under the witness of France and Germany, a statement was reached with Ukraine stating that the eastern region of Ukraine would continue to abide by the Minsk ceasefire agreement, and both sides agreed to continue negotiations on a permanent ceasefire in the eastern region of Ukraine.Russia's swallowing of its pride only earned the Ukrainian president's appeasement of the tense emotions of the domestic people. The United States and some NATO member countries took the opportunity to provide military aid to Ukraine and massively increase troops to neighboring countries of Russia. As of today, the United States, NATO member countries Canada, the United Kingdom, the Baltic States, and Poland, despite repeated statements from the Russian government that the United States and NATO cannot provide offensive weapons to Ukraine and will never accept any country sending foreign troops to Ukraine to face serious consequences, have not only provided Ukraine with a large number of anti-aircraft and anti tank missiles, but also publicly sent a small number of active duty soldiers to Ukraine, claiming to help train Ukrainian soldiers to use the aid military equipment and assist the Ukrainian military in developing defense operation plans.

The actions taken by the United States and NATO member states to provoke Russia have so far been described by Chinese media as "holding back big moves" and not taking action at the moment. On the contrary, the United States and NATO have taken a tough stance, spreading the so-called imminent threat of war. Especially in the past, some NATO member countries, which were originally part of the Warsaw Pact led by the former Soviet Union and were extremely afraid of Russia, are now taking advantage of the situation, openly inviting the US military to station and increasing military assistance to Ukraine, without any hesitation criticizing Russia's aggressive ambitions.This time, Poland, the Baltic three countries and Romania, the most active countries in assisting Ukraine and confronting Russia, have been actively striving for the United States to increase its military presence to increase its own security, and even proposed to bear all the costs of the United States military presence. However, the United States, out of balancing relations with Russia, does not want to have a direct military confrontation with Russia, and has been very wary of increasing troops to Eastern Europe, but emphasizes to obey the unified action of NATO. Russia never expected that the United States and NATO would suddenly become tough. Not only did they not follow their planned script, but they also repeatedly broke through the red line set by Russia. Now, they are almost openly confronting each other and seriously preparing for a tough military confrontation.

The current situation is very clear. The United States and NATO have openly become the backing of Ukraine's confrontation with Russia. By continuously increasing troops in Russia's neighboring countries and exerting strong military pressure on Russia, not only has it strengthened the security of Russia's neighboring countries, but it is also highly likely to quickly arm Ukraine and bring it into NATO's arms, ultimately forcing Russia to return Crimea, which was "merged" in 2014, as well as the eastern region of Ukraine that is actually controlled by Russia. Now it is Russia who wants to calm things down, but finds it difficult to get off the tiger; The United States and NATO seem to have seen Russia's trump card clearly, and have simply gone all out to help Ukraine recover its occupied territories, ignoring the bottom line set by the Russians publicly, let alone giving them a decent way out. Such extreme pressure could inadvertently trigger a large-scale conflict.Because of the forward deployment of the US military this time, it appears to be preparing for a direct military confrontation with Russia, but in reality, it is taking the opportunity to strengthen NATO's military deterrence against Russia, attempting to permanently solve Russia's threat to Europe and weaken Russia's influence on neighboring countries. Therefore, the US and NATO will continue to deploy troops to Russia's neighboring countries in the near future; Even if Russia withdraws its troops from the border areas of Ukraine in the future, US and NATO soldiers are unlikely to easily withdraw from neighboring countries until Russia returns Ukrainian territory.

In a military blackmail against the United States and NATO, Russia wanted to eliminate the hidden danger of the Russia-Ukraine conflict left by the dismemberment of Ukraine once and for all. However, it backfired, led the "wolf" into the house, and even was publicly humiliated by its opponents. The key is that it did not recognize the challenge of an opponent whose strength is far stronger than its own. Any tricks and calculations that think they are shrewd will only humiliate themselves in the end. When the Russian decision-makers decided to dismember the disobedient Ukraine, decisively "merge" Crimea and effectively control the eastern region of Ukraine, they never expected the United States and its allies to be so persistent in advocating for the Ukrainian people, let alone expecting neighboring pro Western countries not to be intimidated, but to be more determined to side with the United States and openly oppose Russia.
