Behind the European security issues, the shadow of the United States' incitement and coercion can be seen everywhere——

　　The spoilers will be cast aside by the world

　　On February 9, after the welcome ceremony for a new round of NATO combat troops deployment, Lithuanian President Nauseda revealed to the media that he would seek a permanent troop presence in the United States to strengthen the security of Eastern Europe and NATO's "deterrence" in the region.

Recently, a number of NATO member states also announced that they would send additional troops to Lithuania to deal with tensions on the Russian-Ukrainian border.

　　Lithuania seems to be another "vortex" of the Ukraine crisis.

Behind it, you can see the shadow of the United States fanning the flames and coercing and coercing.

　　Since last year, the United States has continued to play up the risk of war between Russia and Ukraine, and has recently sent weapons to Ukraine several times, escalating regional tensions.

Some analysts pointed out that an important consideration for the US exaggerating the threat of war is to try to provoke Russia-EU relations and increase European countries' military dependence on the US.

As Russian President's Press Secretary Peskov said, the current tension between Russia and Ukraine is not caused by Russia, but by the actions of the United States and NATO and their spreading rumors that "Russia is about to 'invade' Ukraine".

　　When it comes to Ukraine, the U.S. never intends to give up easily.

However, analysts believe that the United States has a lot of variables on whether to send permanent troops to Lithuania.

In 2017, the NATO rotation force began to station Lithuania and two other Baltic states.

Since 2019, the United States has deployed a rotating force of about 500 troops and weapons to Lithuania.

If the permanent garrison is to be increased, the United States will have to go through certain procedures and spend a lot of time.

In addition, the reaction of neighboring countries such as Belarus to this also needs to be considered.

　　In this context, Europe, which has long relied on the United States for security, has become the focus of the United States' incitement.

However, Germany, France and other "old European" countries have relatively close economic, especially energy cooperation with Russia, and have a more rational attitude towards Russia, and have obvious differences with the United States on the Ukraine issue.

Recently, the leaders of Germany and France have been visiting frequently and actively mediating the crisis in Ukraine. The possibility of "cooling down" the tension in Ukraine in the short term is increasing.

French President Emmanuel Macron said after the meeting between the French and Russian heads of state that there is no security for Europe without the security of Russia.

In view of the geographical proximity and deep cooperation between Germany and Russia in the energy field, Germany is also clear that a breakdown in the relationship between the two countries will seriously damage Germany’s interests; however, the United States has not fully considered Germany’s major concerns, and the Disagreements are hard to really eliminate.

　　However, due to factors such as history and geography, Lithuania and other Central and Eastern European "New European" countries have obvious doubts and fears of Russia, and have adopted more radical pro-US policies in terms of security.

By constantly exaggerating the threat of war, the United States wooed Lithuania and other "new European" countries, and sow discord between Russia and the "old and new Europe".

As long as the risk of the security situation in Europe getting out of control increases, the United States can profit from it.

However, after a series of incidents, such as the US eavesdropping on European allies, the hasty withdrawal of troops from Afghanistan, and the seizure of French submarine export orders, more and more Europeans believe that the United States is unreliable, and the EU's strategic independence will continue to increase.

　　At the moment, America's tough stance on Russia remains a major obstacle to resolving the Ukrainian crisis.

If the United States and its leading NATO do not change their tough stance on Russia, the Ukraine crisis will still be difficult to fundamentally solve.

Experts on Russian international issues said that the diplomatic and military game between Russia and the United States on the Ukraine issue will continue in the future, and the Ukraine crisis may gradually turn into a state of continuous tension.

　　There is no doubt that the United States is a disruptor and destroyer of regional security and stability.

From the recent resumption of the "Normandy Model" Quartet Talks between France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine, to the recent active visits of European dignitaries to conduct diplomatic mediation, all parties in the region are strongly willing to resolve the crisis in Ukraine through peace talks.

If the U.S. is still determined to fish in troubled waters and act as a spoiler for the security situation, it will be cast aside by the world.
