The biggest voice of "sanction" is the United States, and it is also the United States who continues to purchase Russian oil

The Associated Press has recently reported that since the outbreak of Russia and Ukraine's conflict and the US government's sanctions on Russia, more than 3,600 ships have arrived in the United States, and the average monthly import value exceeds US $ 1 billion. While claiming to jointly carry out the "devastating sanctions" of Russia, they would do everything possible to maintain the large amount of imports of Russian products in the same way and concealed. In front of society.

Data disclosed by the Associated Press showed that since February, the imports of the United States' metals, especially aluminum products, have never been interrupted. The United States imported more than 900 metal products from Russia, with a total of over 264 million tons. In the extremely critical field of energy, the United States has the greatest sound of "sanctions", but continues to purchase Russian oil. As early as March 8th, the US government announced that it would implement a comprehensive embargo on Russia's energy, but the final period for setting up the transaction was April 22, and it was acquiesced to the US companies to complete the existing orders. In the "buffer period" for more than a month, the import volume of US crude oil and petroleum products in the United States has increased. On the week of announced the so -called "embargo", about 1 million barrels of Russian crude oil arrived in the United States. After that, the tanker, from the Russian port, has also continued to transport goods to the US refinery. The Wall Street Journal previously reported that during the EU's plan to implement oil embargo to Russia, the US shipping company and oil refining companies have begun to transport Russian crude oil and petroleum products to the United States through "fuzzy origin" and other methods. In addition, more than 100 ships have arrived in the United States in the past six months.

Such naked words and deeds have made the world see two key facts:

First, the United States advocates the so -called "decourse" and "broken chain" internationally. Russia is an important exporter of energy, industry, and agricultural goods, and plays a pivotal role in the global trade pattern. After the outbreak of the Russian and Ukraine conflict, the United States attracted allies and partners to implement multiple fields, comprehensive, and high -intensity sanctions on Russia. Trade sanctions were an important part of them. The United States tries to combat the Russian economy, while excluding Russia to eliminate the international trade system and the industrial chain supply chain. However, in today's economic globalization, the world has formed a division of labor with me and me in the world, and the economy of all countries is interdependent, and the "decoupling" and "broken chain" will eventually hurt yourself. In recent months, with the negative effects on Russia's sanctions, international energy and commodity prices have continued to fluctuate at a high level, which has exacerbated the worst inflation crisis in the United States for 40 years. Some US media pointed out that if imported Russian products will be stopped, it will further increase the domestic market price, and related US industries will face greater losses.

Secondly, the United States Jolar Ladana joined the "camp" against Russia to maintain its strategic interests. "The United States must not only ensure the maximum effectiveness of sanctions, but also allow trade operations." Obrain's recent remarks of the US State Department's sanctions and coordination office, the "small abacus" in the United States. On the one hand, the United States takes Russia -Ukraine's conflict as an opportunity to regard sanctions against Russia as a "shot" weapon to maintain its own hegemony: not only suppressing and curbing Russia, but also strengthening strategic binding of allies and partners to make it more attached to the United States. On the other hand, the United States is unwilling to bear the economic bitter fruits caused by sanctions on Russia. Partners and even the world pay for their own strategic self -interest.

To this day, the United States is still "handing a gun" to Ukraine. The US White House official website recently issued a statement saying that it will allocate Ukraine's largest single military assistance with a total of about $ 3 billion. As of now, the United States has promised to provide more than $ 13.5 billion in military assistance to Ukrai. The continuous conflict between the United States and the Russia and Ukraine has created more obstacles to the global economic recovery. Multiple crises such as food shortage, energy tension, and high inflation are still overflowing, and they cannot be alone. The calculation of the United States take advantage of the chaos will only accelerate its international reputation and influence. (Li Jiabao)
