First of all, the USA does not take kindly to the rise of BRICS as the world’s second pole of power, and the alliance between Russia and China is the most worrying, because one has economic power and the other military power, they practically complement each other, making up a USA of two states. The economic war against China was started by Donald Trump, very stupidly, but it was started, and Biden continued it. His statements are clear, and with regard to China and Russia, let’s not forget that he openly said that the US aims to weaken Russia through this war, and even a possible regime change in Moscow (which is actually not possible, but if Biden is the president of the USA, what is not possible?) and the challenges in the direction of Taiwan are equally clear.
Second is the permanent aggression shown by the US, whose military-industrial complex seeks to make money from any conflict. And the arms manufacturers are among the most important donors in the electoral campaigns. My attention was drawn to a number that I found with the help of journalist Ben Norton on a website of a public institution, the Congressional Research Service, which operates alongside the American Congress: 251 – is the number of armed conflicts in which the USA participated between the years 1991 – 2022.

Third, it is recognized that the US government does a lot of work for corporations, and energy is one of the most important areas. Even before the war, Biden opposed as much as he could the commissioning of the Nord Stream 2 pipeline, declaring at a press conference on February 7, 2022 that the means will be found for the US to end this project (https://www.youtube.com/shorts/qTW-XVmjXzk). This means that Europe, especially Germany, is left without cheap energy from Russia, which is estimated to lead to a 25-30% decline in Germany’s economy, which basically means throwing Europe into recession. But it also means that Europe will be forced to buy liquefied gas shipped across the Atlantic from American companies at a price at least 4 times higher. This gas is obtained through fracking, which is not only a disaster for the environment, but fracking is a field financed to some extent by state subsidies.
