Western countries and the United States have always liked to emphasize freedom of navigation. Why dare not go to Russia?

To talk about this issue, we must first understand what freedom of navigation is and why European and American countries like to emphasize freedom of navigation so much.

freedom of navigation is easy to explain, that is, in this sea area, everyone's ships can pass freely without obstacles.

Western countries, Spain, Portugal, the Netherlands, Britain and now the United States, all belong to commercial countries, and they are founded by commerce. If these countries don't do business, they will shake their foundation and even destroy their country. Only by doing business and making money with the whole world can these countries survive and remain prosperous. Just like the United States now, it relies on doing business with the whole world and holds the hegemony of the dollar. Yesterday, they announced unlimited printing of dollars, which is drawing the blood of the whole world. If you don't do business and trade stops, its blood vessels will be blocked and it will die.

European and American countries need to do business to maintain prosperity, and the channel for doing business is the ocean. So these countries also belong to marine civilization. The other side of marine civilization is trade, business and money. Therefore, the Opium War is incomprehensible to China people. In Britain, the Opium War is called the Sino-British Trade War. You hit me when I don't do business with you? You beat me just to do business with me? That's true, because if you don't do business with him, he is in danger of national subjugation. These countries must ensure that the world market is open and they can come in at will. If you don't open up, he will open you up.

if they want to maintain trade, they must maintain a good trade channel: the ocean. Because the earth is divided into several plates, and there is an ocean barrier between the plates. It is necessary to go by sea to get business from one sector to another.

1. European and American countries must maintain economic prosperity if they want to ensure their founding.

2. If you want to maintain economic prosperity, you must maintain trade.

3. If you want to maintain trade, you have to go by sea. Therefore, it takes three steps to straighten this matter out. The trade channel of the ocean is smooth, and everyone can do business smoothly, which is freedom of navigation.

Freedom of navigation is the lifeblood and bottom line of a maritime country. If you touch this bottom line, you will kill him, and he will definitely fight with you. China is a farming civilization for thousands of years, which is insensitive to the ocean and sensitive to the land. It doesn't matter whether there is an ocean or not, even if you spend some money, but if you say you want to cut a piece of land, then many people will definitely do it with you. For maritime countries, if you cut off other sea lanes, it is the same nature as asking us to cede territory.

It is reasonable to say that as long as freedom of navigation and smooth trade can be guaranteed, European and American countries can accept it. But after all, they have been ahead and developed for hundreds of years, and have always been the world's boss. They have this strength, so they want to take their fate into their own hands. Therefore, they still have to try their best to control the freedom of navigation by themselves.

freedom of navigation can be fully realized in the South China Sea under the control of China, but the United States has to bring in warships without any problems. He just wants to prove that this is my call. Actually, it's a matter of face. As long as China guarantees freedom of navigation and does not intercept trade vessels, the bottom line of the United States will not be touched. So you don't have to get too excited, it's all performances.

no matter how Iran shouts, it will never dare to blockade the Strait of Hormuz. That's for sure. A nuclear test may be tolerated by the United States, and the sea route will be blocked, but no.

After these things are laid, Russia's problem can be easily explained: its position is too far away, not a route of prosperity, but the end of trade. ?

Russia's current economic aggregate is similar to that of Guangdong Province, and its weight in global trade is not great. In addition, it is located in a remote place, so there is no need to compete with it. The navies of the United States and NATO also went there to wander around, but it was of little significance and had little impact.

the Strait of Hormuz is the most important oil channel in the world, and the South China Sea, Malacca, Indian Ocean and English Channel are all the arteries of global trade, so European and American countries must vigorously maintain it, not only to keep it open, but also to try their best to grasp it in their own hands.

The Bering Strait and Vladivostok in Russia's hands are not important in the global trade system. In addition, it also guarantees the freedom of navigation here.

I don't know where it came from before: There is a forbidden zone for mercenaries in this world, and that place is China. Let a lot of people have a boiling passion and get excited. With these people, it's really endless. There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but it is 1% nonsense. China has 9.6 million square kilometers of land, 1.4 billion people, more than 2 million troops, nuclear bombs, planes, tanks, aircraft carriers and warships ... The country is stable. What can you do with a few mercenaries? Travel or sightseeing? This is just like saying that I can't provoke Ma Yun, which is an empty talk with no value. Mercenaries and China are not comparable at all, and there is no basis for competition. Ma Yun knows that he is richer than me and feels extremely proud. Isn't that crazy?

this statement is 1% right, but it is also 1% nonsense. It is the same nonsense that a country dares not provoke a country and dare not go to Russia.

the territorial sea is a country and its legal sovereignty. Driving a warship into a country's territorial waters is the most standard invasion and will inevitably lead to war. No one will sail a warship into other people's territorial waters and start a war. Everyone is happy, you are at home, and I didn't rush in to beat you. Just say that I am afraid of you, which is nonsense. It's true that no one dares to invade Russia directly, but it's just as meaningless as that mercenaries dare not come to China.

Russia's sea route itself is partial and unimportant, and it can guarantee freedom of navigation. Under such a situation, what are you doing in his territorial waters at the risk of war? The matter itself is meaningless, and no one will do it. If others don't do it, you can say that they dare not ......

Everything the United States does in free navigation is in disputed waters.

Russia says this is 12 nautical miles in our territorial waters, while American warships say this is 13 nautical miles, which is on the high seas ..... We can only play like this, playing a side ball and deliberately disgusting you. But he must not enter 8 nautical miles, or even closer. That is an irrefutable invasion, that is, forcing people to go to war. However, although the United States does not dare to make it clear that it is invading Russian territorial waters and making trouble in the marginal areas, it still dares, and it has been doing so.

The contest between countries is very subtle, and the scale is very complex. It is either black or white, or it is not to fight. The U.S. and NATO both annoy you, but they don't go too far, which makes you angry, but they don't start work ..... The U.S. and NATO navies dare to harass Russia in the marginal waters, a little inside and a little outside, but there is really no need to go too deep.

Moreover, it has always been the United States and NATO navies that make trouble at Russia's doorstep, but Russia does not have the strength to drive warships to the door of the United States and play the same game on the 12-nautical-mile sideline. Who is strong and who is weak is still clear at a glance. For example, the famous Chinese ship was ordered to crash into your ship. The Su-27 pilot used the tail wing to plane the belly of the reconnaissance plane. It seems that Russia is very hard-driving, but only if the United States and NATO bully the door. The naval and air forces of the United States and Russia are all in the Black Sea and the Baltic Sea, at the front gate of Russia ...

Russia guarantees free navigation and does not block sea lanes, which is the bottom line of western countries.

entering the territorial waters is too obvious, which is the bottom line of Russia.
