The tense situation in the sub-region has long been of great concern to the United States. [No pop-up novel network]

For Westwood, the first six months of his tenure have been the most difficult days.

As if it had become a tradition, starting with George W. Bush, all US presidents would leave a bunch of thorny questions for the "latecomers" before leaving office. Frederick was no exception, causing a lot of trouble before leaving office, slapping himself on the ass and leaving the problem to Westwood.

The impact of the Korean Peninsula War was by no means as simple as the tens of thousands of American GIs who had been killed.

Internationally, the United States is discredited.

In June 2025, the Ukrainian parliament vetoed the proposal to join NATO for the third time, and the two camps confronted each other. The president threatened to dissolve parliament, and parliament proposed to remove the president, and Ukraine entered a period of turmoil.

The political turmoil in Ukraine, which was unexpected, seemed to many to be an inevitable consequence.

Since Bush Jr., the United States has actively wooed Ukraine and given the green light to Ukraine's accession to NATO. Drawing Ukraine into NATO is a clear way to dig into Russia's corner. If Ukraine becomes a member of NATO, it is equivalent to NATO putting the muzzle of the gun on the belly of the "polar bear" and placing a dagger in the soft underbelly of Russia.

In order to prevent Ukraine from joining NATO, Russia has not only threatened to deploy tactical ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads in the Garilingrad region (between Lithuania and Poland) and aimed missiles at European countries, but has also repeatedly hinted that if Ukraine takes substantial steps towards joining NATO, it will deal with Ukraine as it did Georgia.

Although no one thinks that Russia is enough to deal with Ukraine with Georgia, because Georgia has a land area of less than 70,000 square kilometers and a population of just over 5 million, while Ukraine has a land area of more than 600,000 square kilometers and a population of nearly 50 million, the United States cannot defeat Iran, which is comparable to Ukraine, and Iran's Rus, which is comparable to Ukraine, will certainly not be able to achieve victory in Ukraine; But no one denies Russia's determination and will to defend its national interests, let alone the devastating power that erupts after the threat of the "polar bear".

Taking advantage of the NATO bloc's harsh demands on the country, Ross has been maneuvering with the United States.

It is not Russia's pressure to really change Ukraine. It is a manifestation of "cowardice" on the part of the United States.

The first is the "Fourth Indo-Pakistani War" in 2015. The United States is timid. Let India confront the republic head-on. In the end, it suffered a fiasco. Then there is the 20166 "East China Sea War". Japan alone against the republic. Hit hard. This was followed by the 20199 "Southeast Asian Crisis" countries watching the fire from across the strait. Let Vietnam, which does not know the height of the sky, become the object of the republic's anger. This was followed by the Dokdo War in 2022. The United States has backtracked. As a result, South Korea suffered a crushing defeat in the war to defend its national territory. By 2024, the "Peninsula War" countries will retreat. Korea became history as an independent country.

In several rounds of confrontation. The U.S. performance has shocked various countries. It also made the allies feel cold.

Although the U.S. government has repeatedly declared that it will do everything in its power to defend the interests of its allies. But time and time again, they have backtracked. The national credibility of the United States has been influenced by the geology of all allied nations.

Not to mention confrontation with the Republic, even in other respects. The U.S. is also doing very badly.

Halfway through the "Iran War", the country suddenly announced the withdrawal of its troops, ending the doomed war, and the victory was left to Iran, which became more and more courageous as it fought.

In 2023, Russia's subversion of the Georgian regime will not even be exempt from protest.

The performance of the United States in the international arena has a very significant impact on the political situation in Ukraine.

In 2025, Ukraine will hold parliamentary elections, and the pro-Russian camp will win a resounding victory, occupying a majority of parliamentary seats. In just 3 months, the President of Ukraine put forward proposals to join NATO 3 times, and the parliament vetoed them 3 times. Subsequently, the President of Ukraine announced that he would use the powers granted by the Constitution to dissolve Parliament if necessary, and the Assembly proposed that the President would be impeached if necessary. As soon as the political turmoil emerged, Russia announced that it would send an additional division to the Russian-Ukrainian border, saying that it would maintain Ukraine's domestic order and protect the interests of the Russian ethnic community in Ukraine if necessary. Not to be outdone, the President of Ukraine immediately announced that he would send 5 divisions to the border areas, declaring that he would defend Ukraine with all his strength.

Relations between Russia and Ukraine have suddenly become tense, and the international community generally believes that Russia, inspired by the "war on the peninsula", is very likely to eliminate the threat by military means when no one expects it.

In order to clean up this mess, Westwood had to put down the dignity of the American presidency and visit Moscow first.

Thankfully, Russia is not a republic.

The Great Depression affected two countries the most, "commodity exporters" and "resource exporters".

During the Great Depression, the purchasing power of each market was greatly reduced, and the goods were seriously unsalable, so the demand for resources of the major "commodity exporting countries" was greatly reduced, and the "resource exporting countries" were affected.

Russia is a typical "resource exporter".

As the most resource-rich country in the world, Russia has created a lot of miracles in the case of a good economy. With the economy going bad, Russia is the first to enter a cold winter.

In 2025, the world economy is still trembling in the aftermath of the Great Depression.

Taking advantage of the economic problem, Westwood succeeded in convincing the Russian president in Moscow to decide Ukraine's future in a "democratic way", the United States promised not to exert influence on Ukraine on the issue of "accession", and Russia promised not to act aggressively before the Ukrainian elections were held.

In 2026, Ukraine will hold presidential elections (a new president will take office in 2027).

The result did not surprise the outside world, the pro-Russian camp that won the parliamentary election won, and the political winds in Ukraine took a sharp turn.

Although Westwood successfully defused the "Ukraine crisis" and avoided a regional war, the United States lost the capital accumulated for 30 years and surrendered Ukraine to Russia.

The "Ukrainian political wind" has become a sign of Russia's shift from strategic defense to strategic expansion.

If it's just Ulan that's the problem, it's easy to solve. The point is, what Westwood needs to plug is not a hole, but a "front" full of holes.

Soon after the outbreak of the "Ukrainian political machine", the Middle East again came into the spotlight of the world.

In August 2025, Syria, which has been secretly developing nuclear energy, and Iran, which has just recovered from its breath, announced that the two countries will strengthen cooperation and exchanges in the political, diplomatic, military, religious, economic, scientific and technological, cultural and other fields, and jointly promote the development and rejuvenation of the "great Islamic world".

The move immediately attracted worldwide attention, as Iran's "alliance" with Syria was directed against Israel.

A few days later, Israel launched a military campaign against Hamas in Gaza.

The 15-day military campaign failed to eliminate Hama and achieved few substantive military results, but it completely intensified the contradictions between Israel and the Islamic state, and brought the Middle East into a period of turmoil.

Although at the end of that year, the head of the republic, Zhao Rundong, visited 7 countries in the Middle East, using the incomparable influence of the United States to suppress Iran's expansionist ambitions, stabilize the restless Syria, and greatly ease the situation in the Middle East, but the prestige of the United States in the Middle East has been challenged, including Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Lebanon, Egypt and many other Middle Eastern countries have expressed their willingness to strengthen cooperation with the Republic in all aspects, the Israeli Prime Minister and Zhao Rundong will meet =: after saying, The Republic is an indispensable and important force for maintaining peace and stability in the Middle East.

In order to close the loophole, Brooklyn will visit the Middle East in January 2026.

The results are not ideal, and when the United States is unable to exert influence on Iran, Middle Eastern countries are not very willing to tie themselves to the "American chariot" and prefer to use various forces to maintain peace and stability in the Middle East.

The troubles in the Middle East have not yet been resolved, and Europe is buzzing again.

At the summit in Brussels in December 2025, Iceland successfully joined the eurozone with the support of France, Germany and Italy.

At this point, all EU member states, with the exception of the United Kingdom, joined the eurozone.

The heads of state and heads of state of France, Germany, Italy, and other countries have said on different occasions that the European Union, which is moving towards political integration, must unify its currency, and if Britain is still hesitant on the issue of joining the eurozone, the EU will consider excluding Britain from the political integration process.

Needless to say, Europe wants to "go it alone" without the United States.

Subsequently, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Greece, Austria, Luxembourg, Portugal, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Iceland, Denmark, Macedonia, and other countries jointly announced the formation of a "European Defense Force" on the basis of the "European Security Force," taking the most crucial step toward "military integration."

After the announcement, the French president said that France would be willing to provide EU members with a nuclear umbrella if they could.

If "political integration" is the political and diplomatic union of the EU, then "military integration" is the EU's alliance in the field of security. After these two steps, even if the EU is still a "confederation" of independent states, the EU will have more say and influence in the international community.

The "three carriages" of France, Germany and Italy have already shown great disappointment with Britain.

Britain is in an extremely awkward position, either "leaving the European Union and joining the United States" or "leaving the United States and entering Europe". Regardless of Britain's choice, it is an indisputable fact that the influence of the United States in Europe has been seriously weakened. According to the analysis of Western scholars, if the EU achieves significant results in "military integration", NATO will lose its existential value. If the EU countries no longer need NATO's security protection, the United States will be driven out of Europe.

The situation of the United States can be described in one sentence: the house leak happened to be a rainy day.

The Korean Peninsula War not only disintegrated the U.S. defense line in the western Pacific, but also had a chain reaction that shattered the "international front" that the United States had built after World War II.

Merely filling the loopholes is no longer enough to keep the "front" intact.

Westwood faces an impossible deadlock. (To be continued, if you want to know what will happen next, please log in to idian, more chapters, support the author, support genuine reading!) )
