Be wary of the "Pacific Military Show" in the Asia -Pacific Cold War to recruit souls

Washington, who was busy engaged in the G7 and NATO summit, was not idle in the Pacific Ocean, and started a "military exercise show". The United States -led "Pacific Rim 2022" joint military exercise will be held on June 29, and will continue until August 4. This largest multi -country joint maritime military exercise, known as the world's largest scale, has made a small battle this year. A total of more than 25,000 people in 26 countries participated. Record.

The "Pacific Military Show" was the product of the Cold War, and the imaginary enemy at the time was the Soviet Union. Some US media said that the deterrent object of the "Pacific Military Express" was self -explanatory, that is, China, which was not invited. Many analysts say that this military exercise is to pass a message to China- "China's expansion in the Western Pacific region will be stopped and defeated." They probably can't wait to rename the "Military exercise of the Pacific Rim", which can be "demonstrated" to China. But everyone knows that this is a self -deception in the United States and several followers, and it does not represent the collective attitude of participating in the "Pacific military exercise" 26 countries this time.

A Southeast Asian officer compared the "Pacific Military Show" as a maritime party, presumably this is the true idea of ​​many participating countries. This statement also shows that they are just coming to the party, rather than being pulled as the guests who oppose or even fight against another country. It is not difficult to see that the vast majority of countries are consciously driving away a certain distance from the American anti -China action. This constitutes a reality paradox: the greater the battle between the "Pacific Military Express", the more countries participating, the more the direction, military and political significance of Washington's expectations, the more weakened and becoming dramatic.

In the final analysis, the new target of the United States for the "Pacific Military Show" is a pseudo target. Where can I exist the fact that "China expands in the Western Pacific region"? People only see that the United States is constantly increasing intervention in the area. The United States invited many South China Sea countries this time to participate, and it was very obvious to want to ignite the ignition and provoke off from the South China Sea. But few countries are really confused and are willing to follow Washington to go to the muddy water of "geopolitical competition".

The Russian conflict gave Washington more excuses to refer to the Pacific Ocean. The US Navy's previous press release publicly announced that the military exercise was to "prevent and defeat the aggression behavior adopted by the major powers in various stages of the conflict", which is almost the premium of the so -called "Tomorrow of Ukraine today". However, in the past few years, did NATO have less military exercises and deterrence against Russia? In addition to intensifying the contradictions, these actions finally reached an incompetent level, and there was no "stun" anyone. What's more, the issue of Taiwan is completely different. No matter how the external forces are blurred, their speculative mentality in the Taiwan Strait is unsatisfactory in the face of the will and determination of the PLA.

Different from the past, most of the 26 countries that have participated in military exercises this year are nearly half of NATO or countries with partnerships with NATO. Not only that, but the partner country as the Asia -Pacific region was invited to participate in the NATO Summit to Japan and South Korea. This time, it also performed positive. South Korea not only dispatched the largest troops since the first performance in 1990, but also the amphibious attack ship of the quasi -aircraft carrier "Mallor Island" will also participate in the performance. Objectively speaking, the current biggest destruction of the "Pacific Military Show" is reflected in its toxicization of regional peaceful atmosphere, and the ultimate degree of damage will also depend on the immunity of the Asia -Pacific countries on the Cold War of the United States.

Although it wants to use the "big country's competition" to stir the water in the Pacific Ocean, the hegemonic power of the United States is limited, so it uses the "La Yizhang to fight". As long as most countries do not accompany the United States to "work", its various irresponsible behaviors will be more restricted. Otherwise, not only the Asia -Pacific region, but also the environment of peace and development throughout the world will be ruined by the United States. In this regard, regional countries and even the international community must always be highly vigilant, as well as the "Military exercise".
