The United States has declined in national strength, otherwise it would not have withdrawn its troops from Afghanistan, and even the iraqi garrison has also withdrawn from theory, showing a state of strategic contraction, but the United States does not recognize its own decline, and it still appears aggressive to the outside world, and it does not dare to provoke others to do it.
The United States often conducts exercises in the Asia-Pacific region
The United States not only provoked unrest in Europe, but also tried to provoke trouble in other regions, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, and like Europe, the United States also fooled a front desk in the Asia-Pacific region, that is, Japan, and now Japan is also showing considerable arrogance to the outside world.
Recently, the US-Japan joint military exercise, from April 12, the two sides began military exercises, the Lincoln aircraft carrier and the Japanese warships formed an aircraft carrier strike group joint fleet, the scale of this exercise is not small, the two sides can not send a lot of ships, the United States launched the Lincoln aircraft carrier is a 100,000-ton large nuclear-powered aircraft carrier, carrying a new generation of F-35 fighters, Japan dispatched at least two 10,000-ton destroyers. Japan's land, sea, and air forces also participated in joint military exercises in the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea.
The Self-Defense Forces actually used Chinese to spread propaganda
On April 19, the Japanese side high-profile publicized the already concluded US-Japanese military exercises, shouting: "The military exercises show a solid Japan-US alliance", a bit of a fox fake tiger will mean, Japan's own pounds are not enough to threaten others, in a vain attempt to pull the United States to support, without the United States as its own backstage, Japan really can't stand up. It's just that the United States has no real intention of supporting Japan, just like it did with Ukraine, just fooling Japan into acting as a pawn for itself, and definitely not sacrificing its own interests for the pawn.
The mentality of the United States is that it wants to use Japan to create trouble, and naturally it must cheer up Japan, so when it sees the joint US-Japan exercise, it must organize a joint military exercise almost every month, and the scale is not small, and it seems that it is going to make a big move. Japan was naturally encouraged, and did not know whether to understand what the United States really meant, but in any case it seemed quite positive, and now the Japanese Self-Defense Forces openly used Chinese instead of the normal Japanese language, shouting, "It is absolutely not allowed to unilaterally change the status quo in the region and cause instability." "Suddenly changing the language of the release, it is quite clear who to say to whom."
Japan-U.S. exercises
Japan only knows the clamor but does not realize that it is being played by the United States, and if you pay attention, the exercise is almost in a low-key manner, without issuing an announcement in advance. Originally supposed to be held in the East China Sea, on April 7, the Lincoln aircraft carrier entered the East China Sea, only to find that the 055 drive was waiting for it. At least four Type 055 large-scale drives were on combat readiness cruises, and the U.S. military seemed to realize the danger, so on April 11, the U.S. Navy's USS Lincoln/CVN72 aircraft carrier entered the Sea of Japan.
The United States released information about the Japanese-U.S. exercises on April 12, releasing several photos, but the photos were quickly removed from the website and seemed to be a matter of unknown, and only Japan delayed the release until April 19.
In fact, the exercise ended before April 15, when the USS Lincoln once again entered the East China Sea and posed as an active in the Yellow Sea, but the four Type 055 large drives did not return to port and were still active at sea. Since April 15, a large-scale military exercise has been launched, and exercises in the background of actual combat have been carried out, posing as a posture of daring to confront the hard, not only warning, but really daring to move. The Lincoln aircraft carrier did not dare to stay in the East China Sea, and on April 16, that is, from the Osumi Strait into the western Pacific Ocean, in the face of 4 Type 055 large drives, they did not dare to slacken off, not to suffer losses, nor to take advantage.
055 drive
Until the Us fleet left for a few days, in order to show its presence, Japan shouted a few words, just turned the door high, what is the significance? Japan sober up, don't be the second Ukraine, otherwise there will be no good fruit to eat.
