Recently, the USS Carl Vinson aircraft carrier was evacuated from the Middle East and headed for the Asia-Pacific region, and at the same time, the USS Roosevelt aircraft carrier was also dispatched to the Asia-Pacific region at this time. The assembly of the three aircraft carrier battle groups will aggravate tensions in the Asia-Pacific region, and the majority of military fans will also be more vigilant about the United States' intentions against the Asia-Pacific region.
At present, the US military operation with the Houthis in the Middle East has not achieved the expected goals. On the contrary, it has led to an unprecedented unity of anti-American and anti-Israeli forces in the Middle East. At this time, the United States was forced to transfer the USS Carl Vinson to the Asia-Pacific region. While the US military was busy dealing with the chaos in the Middle East, relations on the Northeast Asian Peninsula also deteriorated further. At the same time, the United States has also encouraged the Philippines to engage in confrontation with China in the South China Sea. However, the US military, which has attacked from many sides, is now pressing the gourd and floating the scoop, struggling to deal with it in the Middle East, Europe, and East Asia, and its so-called powerful global deterrence capability has been widely questioned. Although the United States claims to have 11 nuclear-powered aircraft carriers, only one-third of them can actually be deployed, excluding aircraft carriers that are on duty and maintained. Therefore, the transfer of three aircraft carriers to East Asia by the US military this time is basically the largest deterrent force it can mobilize.
Theoretically, when the U.S. military assembles three aircraft carrier battle groups in the same area, it can do something to most countries in the world. But this is not the same as in the past, with the popularization of asymmetric combat equipment such as anti-ship missiles and unmanned aerial vehicles. The U.S. aircraft carrier battle group can no longer deter the Houthis in the Middle East, and it will be even more difficult to assemble three aircraft carrier battle groups in the Asia-Pacific region to deter North Korea and China.
China has the unique skill of ballistic missiles to attack aircraft carriers, and US aircraft carriers will certainly not dare to make a move against China near East Asia. At present, North Korea has also announced the "Tsunami-5-23" underwater nuclear weapons system, which is a powerful nuclear torpedo that is an asymmetric combat artifact against US aircraft carriers. It can stealthily sneak near the US aircraft carrier formation, and after detonating, it will cause a super radioactive tsunami and destroy the US aircraft carrier formation. Therefore, the global deterrence of US aircraft carriers has been greatly reduced.
Therefore, the United States sent three aircraft carrier battle groups to assemble in the Asia-Pacific region only to show a tough response posture to its East Asian allies. At present, relations on the peninsula are very tense. On the South China Sea issue, the Philippines is also constantly provoking China's bottom line, and the United States is trying to assert its interests and voice in the region by strengthening its military presence in the Asia-Pacific region.
However, such a move is doomed to be futile. The U.S. military is unable to effectively deter the Houthis in the Middle East, but at this time it is rushing to East Asia with great fanfare to show off its military might, giving people the impression that it is trying to cover up its decline in the chaos in the Middle East. But in East Asia, the U.S. military faces far more powerful opponents than the Houthis. Therefore, if the US allies in East Asia are not aware of this problem, they will inevitably become US outcasts in the event of a conflict.
