Original title: the British defense minister hinted that the United States should no longer be regarded as a "superpower": it is just a big power
Recently, British Defense Secretary Ben Wallace said in an interview that the United States does not have the capacity of the so-called superpower, and admitted that Britain is not a superpower.
According to the guardian on September 2, in an interview with the Observer Magazine, British Defense Secretary Wallace said, "Britain is obviously not a superpower", "but a superpower that does things from beginning to end may not be a superpower. It is certainly not a country with global power, it is just a big country. " Wallace added.
According to the report, people close to Wallace believe that his remarks are probably aimed at the United States. An insider believes that the British Minister stressed the importance of political will and absolute military strength. This is not the first time Wallace criticized the United States - in mid August, as the Taliban began to win an all-round victory in Afghanistan, Wallace described the 2020 peace agreement between former US President trump and the Taliban as "a mistake" and said that "strategically, the agreement will cause many problems".
The report points out that the current US President Biden approved the final withdrawal in April this year - a decision that disappointed Britain, which had hoped to stay. But without the US military, Britain could not assemble a reliable alternative defense force, so it was forced to participate in last month's large-scale evacuation. Jeremy Hunt, former British Foreign Secretary, warned on the 2nd that there was a dangerous fault line in the special relationship between the United States and Britain, saying that the withdrawal from Kabul was disastrous and that the withdrawal was not in line with Britain's wishes. Referring to the Taliban occupation of Kabul, Hunter said that the departure of allied forces under such shameful circumstances "is a thought-provoking moment for anyone concerned about the values of freedom and an open society".
