The relationship between countries is not simply one of love and hatred, but is more driven by interests.

There is really nothing between countries except interests. When we use words such as "friendly" or "hate" to describe the relationship between countries, it is just to make it easier for the public to understand. However, if we really use these words as a criterion for measuring relations between countries, it will appear politically immature. Take Albania as an example. This small European country survived centuries of chaos in Europe not because of their noble morals, but because they are good at playing both sides and adjusting their positions in time. When the Ottoman Turks threatened them, they quickly changed their beliefs and promised to surrender in exchange for the expulsion and tax relief of the Serbs. After World War II, for economic and political interests, they established close ties with Yugoslavia, especially Serbia. During the Cold War, Tito's Yugoslavia tried to annex Albania, and Albania quickly turned to Stalin for asylum. They knew that the relationship between Tito and Stalin was tense, so they chose to stand on Stalin's side. Later, in order to fight against Soviet revisionist Khrushchev, China established friendly relations with Albania, and Albania benefited greatly from it. However, as the international situation changed, they quickly turned against China. Now, Albania has turned to the United States for asylum and is in opposition to Serbia. This is the essence of international politics, without any emotional factors. However, when describing these relations to the public, we still use words such as "friendly" or "great friendship" because these words can give people a superficial comfort, as if there is really some kind of emotional bond between countries.

The same is true for the relationship between China and the United States. There is only a need between the two countries, and there is no real friendship. During World War II, the Chinese Nationalist Government was of strategic value to the United States in containing Japan, so the United States provided assistance to China. However, this does not mean that there is some kind of deep emotional connection between the two countries. In fact, the essence of international politics is the exchange of interests and the balance of power, without any emotional factors. Previously, Japan had launched an aggressive war against China, and the materials and weapons needed for this war were all provided by the United States. However, when Japan threatened the interests of the United States, the relationship between the two countries broke down. The relationship between the United States and Japan is also quite complicated. If it were not for the stimulation of the "Black Ship Incident" in the United States, Japan might not have carried out the subsequent Westernization reforms. Although the United States once assisted Japan, the two countries later became antagonistic due to conflicts of interest. During the Cold War, China became an enemy of the United States because it joined the Soviet camp. But with the disintegration of the Soviet Union, China began to seek technical cooperation with the United States for the needs of reform and opening up. The United States coveted China's huge market, so the two countries began a "honeymoon period".

However, China is not satisfied with just making money, but is committed to learning advanced technology and taking the road of industrial independence. Therefore, in the process of China's development, we have not only made wealth, but also independently developed technology and industry, and gradually grown into a country that can compete with Europe and the United States on a global scale. The United States leads in satellite technology, weapons of mass destruction, and global military layout, and China is catching up in these areas. The United States is trying to reap global wealth through the dollar system, while China is committed to promoting the internationalization of the renminbi. These competitions undoubtedly violated the interests of the United States and led to tensions between the two countries. As a result, the United States tried to put pressure on China to stop its development, but the Chinese people, eager to live a better life, would not easily compromise. In the end, the two countries could only resolve their differences through a head-on approach.

This is how the world works: when you are weak, you are surrounded by threats like wolf dogs; when you are strong, wolf dogs will become docile Pekingese. There is no real friendship in the competition between countries, only mutual needs or conflicts of interest. Driven by interests, "great friendship" and "feud" are just a thought away.

Asgard and the Frost Giants are similar.

When the Frost Giants were causing trouble, Asgard and the Frost Giants were enemies. The two sides have been fighting since the first time they met until now, and no one can figure out how deep the blood feud between the two sides is. Emotionally speaking, every Asgardian wishes that all the Frost Giants would die!

But once there is a problem with the Frost Giants, Asgard will be more anxious than anyone else. The most typical example is when Loki wanted to destroy Jotunheim!

After touching the Ice Box, Loki accidentally learned that he was a Frost Giant. When Odin conquered the Nine Realms, he led his army to "Jotunheim" and kept the young Loki by his side as an adopted son.

As we all know, Loki has been growing up under the shadow of his brother Thor. Many times, his performance is not as good as his brother Thor, so he is very eager to be recognized by others. As time goes by, this feeling of powerlessness slowly accumulates in Loki's heart. He gradually realizes that no matter how outstanding he becomes, he will not be recognized by Asgard, nor will he become the one who sits on the throne. The reason for this lies in his bloodline. So Loki shifted the focus of the problem to his past, and tried his best to erase those deeds and bloodlines that he thought were disgraceful. His father became an obstacle to his glory, so he decided to destroy it all!

Although Loki is the strongest wizard in the Nine Realms, his position is not firm. He once hated his adoptive father "Odin". Although he and Thor are both Odin's children, Odin is very partial to his own son "Thor". However, after a long period of contact, Loki also felt the power of his adoptive father Odin, so he had to swallow his anger. In the early days, Loki had a very mature mind, but this mature mind was not used in the right way. On the contrary, Loki wanted to gain Odin's recognition and tried to prove that he was no worse than Odin's biological son Thor. On the other hand, he was also very careful to disguise and hide himself, constantly relying on some small tricks and small schemes to make his brother Thor do all kinds of things, so as to constantly "make trouble" in front of Odin, in order to make Thor lose his original position in Odin.

Among them, Thor bravely entered Jotunheim, which was Loki's bad idea. Loki used a series of operations to make Thor go to the Frost Giants in Jotunheim to cause trouble first, and then he was discovered by Odin, who directly deprived him of his divine power and exiled him to Earth. Because at that time, Loki thought he had already taken the advantage, and even because he went to Earth, he lied to his brother and said, "Odin has completely given up on you. At the same time, because of your actions in the Frost Giants' territory in Jotunheim, exiling you became part of the armistice agreement between the two sides, so you can spend the rest of your life on Earth." This plan went smoothly,

But we say that sometimes plans cannot keep up with changes. Although Loki designed to put Thor into exile, with Loki's earlier discovery of the truth that his identity was actually a frost giant, and Odin happened to fall into "Odinsleep" during this period, therefore, Loki directly became the acting king of Asgard during this period.

Loki believes that the time has come and he can get everything he wants in Asgard.

Therefore, the existence of his hometown "Jotunheim" is not so important! Of course, he also knew that Odin would eventually wake up from hibernation and would gradually know everything he had done. For this reason, Loki implemented a new round of plans with the Frost Giants as the core - first blocking Heimdall's surveillance, and going to Jotunheim to reach an agreement with the Frost Giant Laufey, saying that he could bring Laufey and other Frost Giants into Asgard, so that they could kill Odin while Odin was hibernating and take back the Ice Box; Loki believed that Odin did not allow him to inherit the throne because of his identity as a Frost Giant. For this reason, in order to ensure his future throne, Loki chose to use the "Destroyer" in Odin's treasury to go to Earth to kill Thor and eliminate future troubles; then he lured the Frost Giant leader Laufey to assassinate the dormant Odin, and at the same time, with his own "rescue", he made a great contribution to saving Odin in front of his mother Frigga, so that Odin would recognize him in the future, and even make him the crown prince; he used the Eternal Spear to fully activate the Rainbow Bridge, completely destroying the entire Frost Giant territory Jotunheim, and completing a greater "feat";

Loki is also a person who will do anything to achieve his goals. He knows very well that "Asgard" and "Jotunheim" have a feud. At that time, Odin was also afraid of the Ice Box, so he kept it in the storage room. Loki always believed that if he destroyed "Jotunheim", Odin would look at him with admiration, and Thor happened to be demoted to Earth at that time, so this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for Loki. At the same time, it was also a chance to prove his strength, show his loyalty to Odin, and pave the way for his throne!

For Loki, he was adopted by Odin since he was a child. Therefore, even though he knew the truth that he was also a Frost Giant during the fight against the Frost Giants, we can say that after years of upbringing, Loki finally chose the identity of "Son of Odin". This is also one of the reasons why Loki later called himself the son of Odin when he killed Laufey. At the same time, Loki himself did not identify with his identity as a Frost Giant. Instead, he thought it was an "obstacle" to his being recognized by Odin. For this reason, what Loki wanted to do was to gain recognition from Odin while erasing this group that was equivalent to a stain on him. Naturally, he would not show any mercy to Laufey.

In fact, to a certain extent, we can say that Loki may not know that his biological father is the frost giant Laufey. Moreover, one of the reasons why Loki has been "framing" Thor in various ways is that he hopes to gain Odin's recognition. However, when it comes to Loki, Odin's recognition is misinterpreted as - not as outstanding as Thor's military exploits!

So Jotunheim must be destroyed no matter how hard it tries!

But what's the result?

Thor would rather destroy the Rainbow Bridge than destroy Jotunheim!

Of course, it can be understood here that Thor understood what the king meant and was unwilling to destroy a planet for a meaningless dispute... But there is still a huge bug here, that is, Asgard and the Frost Giants are sworn enemies, and the hatred between them is as deep as the sea, and countless relatives and friends of both sides have died at the hands of each other.

Since Thor understood what the king represented, why did he petition to sacrifice the interests of all Asgardians and save Asgard's enemies? And it is foreseeable that the frost giants would never appreciate it!

what is this?

For the sake of his saintly heart, he let the whole nation pay for it? (It’s fine if the movie plays it this way, but if it were to be done this way in reality, Odin would probably show up the first time, kick Thor off the Rainbow Bridge, pull Loki up, and make Loki the king! Although Loki is only a little clever, he is still much better than a saintly heart!)

But Thor did it anyway. Not only that, but no one in Asgard had any objection to it afterwards. This is very telling!

Because Jotunheim is related to Asgard’s own interests!

After all, compared to Jotunheim being occupied by another unknown force, the Frost Giants are actually not unacceptable.

No matter what, the Frost Giants know everything. Although the two sides are enemies, the problem is that Asgard has always taken the initiative. The existence of the Rainbow Bridge can perfectly explain that Asgard is not without the means to destroy the Frost Giants. And based on the style of the Odin years, it is definitely not without the determination to destroy the Frost Giants.

You have to know that Odin was known for his cruelty when he was young.

This guy is willing to destroy an entire civilization just to snatch a witch who can give birth to excellent offspring with him!

Is there anything else you dare not do?

But even so, he did not exterminate the frost giants.

Then there is only one answer, that is, Asgard needs the existence of Frost Giants!

The existence of the Frost Giant is like a free gatekeeper!

Although it would cause trouble, it is much better than letting Asgard station its own troops on that ice planet!

So when Gorr was causing trouble in Jotunheim, Asgard took notice.

With Heimdall's surveillance, it was not difficult for Asgard to discover Gorr's plan.

So Thor decisively attacked Jotunheim!

After arriving, the two started fighting. However, Thor almost died on the spot because of Gol. Fortunately, Thor defeated Gol with lightning. Gol did not expect that a young man could summon lightning at such a young age. But in the second fight, he was very cautious and tried his best to catch Thor. He wanted to force Thor to tell him the whereabouts of Asgard.

However, Thor was not a coward. No matter how Gol pressed him, he just wouldn't say anything.

At this time, the Asgardian warriors also came over. In the melee, Thor cut off one of Gol's hands. But Gol did not kill them all, because he was the God Killer and he only hated God! Although the Asgardian warriors belonged to Asgard, they were not gods.
