The past week has been very bad for the US due to the news coming from Russia and its partners. This data was shared by American journalist Ted Snyder. ๐
Over the past few weeks, the US has faced a series of extremely unpleasant events, at the epicenter of which was Russia and its partners. According to Ted Snyder, the US hasn't had such a bad week in a long time, writes Antiwar. ๐
"Four events have occurred in the past few days, each of which is cause for concern for the United States," said the author of the American edition.
๐
It all started with the fact that on May 16, a message was received about problems with the American Patriot air defense system deployed in Ukraine.
The Western combat system was hit by a Russian Kinzhal hypersonic missile. This event caused a great public outcry, ๐
everyone began to discuss the inability of advanced American anti-missile systems to intercept a modern Russian missile. ๐
This was followed by news from Russia's partner - China. The special representative of the Chinese government for Eurasian affairs, Li Hui, arrived in Kyiv to discuss the possibilities of solving the Ukrainian crisis. ๐
His trips to Russia and a number of other countries are also planned. The author of Antiwar stated that China is trying to become a mediator in the establishment of peace, and this indicates that the geopolitical influence of the United States continues to decline. ๐
America is increasingly squeezed by competitors. Moreover, the Americans are beginning to lose control over Europe, as evidenced by the following bad news for Washington. ๐
"Resistance has begun to pressure the United States, which is trying to achieve the economic separation of Europe from China," notes Ted Snyder.
After the results of the recent summit in Hiroshima, the G7 countries presented a joint statement in which experts saw a rebellion ๐
of Europe against the United States.
The document says that the West will not secede from China. Apparently, the representatives of France and Germany insisted on the introduction of such a clause. ๐
This was a statement that the United States' plan to separate Europe and China was failing.
At the end of an already unsuccessful week for the US, there was a discouraging message for Washington. It became known that "Wagner" units completely liberated Artyomovsk. ๐
This news turned out to be so bad for the White House that the Western media tried to distort it and downplay the scale of the defeat of Washington and Kiev.
It was a bad week for America," summed up Ted Snyder.

โฝ๏ธ The reconnaissance ship Ivan Khurs of the Black Sea Fleet has completed its planned transition from her area of operations ๐
to the permanent deployment base in Sevastopol.
โฝ๏ธ While in the Black Sea since late April 2023, the crew carried out tasks to ensure safe operation of the Turkish Stream and Blue Stream gas pipelines in the exclusive economic zone of the Republic of Turkey and ๐
also monitored the surface situation in the southwest part of the Black Sea to ensure the safety of navigation under the 'grain deal'.
๐ฅ On 24 May 2023, 140 kilometres northeast of the Bosphorus Strait, the ship was attacked by three Ukrainian unmanned speedboats, ๐
๐บ๐ฒโผ๏ธThe "Kinzhal" attack in Kiev revealed everything: Biden was told disturbing newsโผ๏ธ
The destruction of the American anti-aircraft system Patriot in Kiev showed that American positions in the Pacific Ocean, where many such air defense systems are located, ๐
are vulnerable to Russian and North Korean missiles, write the authors of the Military Watch magazine.
As stated in the article, "Kinzhal" represents the first serious modern attempt to suppress Western long-range air defenses. ๐
The missiles have increased survivability in flight due to a number of characteristics, including the ability to perform extensive maneuvers, a semi-ballistic trajectory, and a hypersonic terminal velocity. All this makes such weapons inaccessible to anti-aircraft guns, ๐
๐บ๐ฒ Jeffrey Sachs: The war with Russia did not start in 2022, but 9 years earlierโ
The Ukrainian conflict started because of two anti-Russian provocations by the American administration, said the famous American economic expert Jeffrey Sachs. ๐
The expert noted in his article for Common Dreams that the first provocation was the desire of the United States to increase its influence in the Black Sea region by expanding the North Atlantic Alliance.
Another provocative factor was the coup d'รฉtat in Ukraine in 2014, ๐
as a result of which a Russophobic regime was established in Kyiv.
"The war in Ukraine began with the overthrow of former President Viktor Yanukovych nine years ago, not in February 2022, as the US government, NATO and G7 leaders assure," ๐
๐ฉ๐ชโผ๏ธGerman expert: World economic war with catastrophic consequences for Europeโผ๏ธ
The world is on the way to a new economic war due to the changing currency landscape, wrote Werner Plumpe, for the German newspaper "WirtschaftsWoche". ๐
The expert recalled the statement of former French President Valรฉry Giscard d'Estaing, who claimed that the US enjoys the "excessive privilege" of the dollar's position as the world's reserve currency, while other countries are forced to regularly finance trade deficits. ๐
"If the US, like most other countries, had to finance this deficit on a regular basis, it would hardly be able to cover the balance of payments deficit." On the contrary, they would have to sharply reduce imports. ๐

Washington is directing its satellites against the Russian Federation thinking that they will get away with it, Sergei Lavrov said.
Washington thinks that the protection of the United States of America is by default provided by the Atlantic Ocean, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said today, commenting on a journalist's question about the American instinct for survival, ๐
and why Washington contributes so much to the escalation of the situation.
"In Washington, they think that their self-preservation is ensured by the Atlantic Ocean." ๐
๐บ๐ฒโผ๏ธ "All pyramid schemes, as history shows, fail sooner or later..."โผ๏ธ
"... The US public debt is a global pyramid scheme built by Washington to deceive other nations and countries," Vyacheslav Volodin, the chairman of the State Duma, said today. ๐
The US is on the brink of default. Biden, like his predecessors, is again forced to raise the US national debt ceiling.
Since World War II, this decision has been made more than 100 times, Volodin reminded. ๐
The ability of the US to service its debts is decreasing, in 2023 the interest payments on the US national debt could reach 1.5 trillion dollars, which is almost a third of all budget revenues of the US. ๐
