    Resisting the pressure of US hegemony, Indonesia has set an example, and the US sanctions strategy has long been full of holes

    The United States always suppresses other countries in order to maintain its hegemony, so as the world's second military power, Russia is not unexpectedly contained
    by the United States.
    However, Russia has the big card of energy in its hands, even if the United States and the West jointly launch sanctions against Russia, Russia is still not in a hurry, and can even rely on energy to fight back
    .
    Of course, the United States also realized the importance of energy, so it issued a ban and did not allow other countries to buy Russian gas and oil
    .
    Although many countries have been deterred by the United States, Indonesia seems to be loosening
    .

    According to reports, the Indonesian president told the media that Indonesia is considering buying Russian oil to make up for the rise in
    energy prices.
    He also said the government has an obligation to meet people's demand for
    energy.
    It can be seen that Indonesia, which has not purchased Russian oil for a long time, actually has the idea of "resisting" the United States or trading
    with Russia.
    It should be known that at the critical moment when the United States and the West want to limit the price of Russian oil, if some countries want to buy Russian oil, then the plans of the United States and the West will be hindered, and the move of oil Indonesia is undoubtedly against the
    United States.
    But why did little Indonesia make such a surprising move?

    Although Indonesia is an oil producer, he is troubled by rising oil prices
    .
    Indonesia has even erupted in large-scale protests because of rising fuel prices
    .
    Now that the oil crisis has become more serious, Indonesia is considering buying Russian oil, after all, Russia said last month that it could supply oil to Indonesia
    at a price less than 30% of the international market.
    However, if Indonesia makes a decision to buy Russian oil, it will inevitably be sanctioned
    by the United States.

    As for the possibility of Indonesia buying Russian oil, according to the actual situation, Indonesia is likely to resist the pressure of the United States and buy Russian oil
    .
    Because the United States has always wanted to prevent Russia from participating in the G20 summit in order to isolate Russia
    .
    But Indonesia, despite the opposition of the United States, directly invited Putin to the meeting
    .
    And the Russian foreign minister also confirmed this, saying that Putin has no problems
    attending the G20 summit.
    Therefore, even if Indonesia is sandwiched between the United States and Russia, it will weigh the pros and cons and make the most correct choice
    .
    But whether Indonesia will eventually buy Russian oil is unknown, after all, these are only speculations
    .

    To be honest, small countries are easy to be pinched by the United States, look at India, not only ignore the warnings of the United States, but also make a lot of money
    by reselling oil.
    However, Indonesia can also be bold, after all, there are many countries that buy Russian oil, and the United States cannot be sanctioned
    .
    Even the Japanese brother, whom the United States trusts very much, has quietly bought Russian oil and may have traded with Russia in the
    renminbi.
    It can be seen from this that if the United States wants to rely on its own hegemonic means to force all countries to "surrender," it will inevitably cause resistance and even cause more serious consequences
    .
