This article is intended for readers with strong analytical skills. In recent years, I have repeatedly emphasized that the world is undergoing profound changes. These changes can be likened to a person who has always believed that the ground beneath their feet is solid, only to suddenly discover that it is violently shaking, with cracks appearing and the earth splitting into pieces. What was once thought to be stable is, in fact, temporary.
Recent events suggest that this scenario may unfold sooner than many expect.
Firstly, Trump's recent outbursts in public are unusual. On May 4th, he furiously lashed out at a Wall Street Journal reporter at the foot of the Air Force One gangway. His intense anger was evident, and he even threw the interview outline. Reports later indicated that he had just received news that the East Asian country was not backing down but planning further retaliation against the US.
Another incident occurred on May 21st when Trump again lost his temper in public, this time at an NBC reporter. When asked about Qatar's offer to gift him an "Air Force One," Trump erupted, calling the reporter a disgrace and telling them to get out. This behavior raises questions about what could be causing such a marked change in his demeanor.
On the same day, US Commerce Secretary Lutnick stated at a public event that Trump is very afraid. He admitted that the tariffs imposed on China last month have caused pain, and the president shares his fear. These remarks, coming from Trump's close friend and confidant, carry significant weight. Trump's lack of rebuttal to these comments is also telling.
On May 20th, the 17th Langkawi International Maritime and Aerospace Exhibition opened in Malaysia. The J-10CE fighter jet, which performed impressively in the India-Pakistan aerial conflict, became a star attraction. Foreign spectators, including Malaysia's Deputy Prime Minister Zahid and military and political delegations from several countries, visited the exhibition to see the J-10CE. This has undoubtedly caused unease in France, as the Paris Air Show is set to take place in mid-June.
Adding to the discomfort is India's actions. Despite its defeat in the India-Pakistan conflict, India has dispatched a victory propaganda team abroad. On May 22nd, this team went to Japan and reported to the Japanese Foreign Minister about its "major victory" over Pakistan. The Japanese, who had previously supported India's move against Pakistan, were left extremely embarrassed. Japan's media has largely ignored the event, and the US has been making pessimistic remarks about the military situation in the Western Pacific.
Looking back at the Gulf War, the reality was not as one-sided as commonly perceived. The US military's performance was not as dominant as宣传claimed. In fact, the US suffered significant losses, and some of its advanced fighter jets were shot down by Iraqi second-generation fighters. This humbling reality contrasts sharply with the US's promotional claims.
Now, the US faces a challenging situation. The India-Pakistan aerial conflict resulted in a 6:0 score, highlighting the effectiveness of certain air defense and combat systems. The US may struggle to counter these systems, and any attempt to do so could come at a heavy cost. This has implications for the US's military strategy and its ability to influence global affairs.
In the economic sphere, the US is also facing difficulties, as detailed in a recently published article.
The US has long relied on its military power to exert global influence. However, as its military superiority is increasingly challenged, the world is on the brink of a new era. This new era will witness a shift from the West's dominant approach to a more equitable and just one. We are fortunate to be witnesses and potential beneficiaries of this historical transformation. Let us look to the future with optimism and work together to build a better world.
