According to media reports, three US nuclear-powered aircraft carriers recently assembled in the waters near the Korean Peninsula. However, Yonhap News Agency said that although the three aircraft carriers of the US Navy have made a show in the waters near the peninsula, they have not entered the South Korean theater. In this regard, some experts believe that under the escalation of the situation in the Middle East, such as the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Houthi attack on merchant ships in the Red Sea, the appearance of a US aircraft carrier in the waters near the peninsula is intended to warn the DPRK.
It is worth mentioning that before arriving in the waters near the Korean Peninsula, these US aircraft carriers held joint military exercises in the South China Sea with the navies of several other vassal countries, with the aim of sending a "strong military signal" to China. At a time when the Palestinian-Israeli conflict and the Russia-Ukraine conflict are still ongoing, and the United States is overstretched in the above-mentioned regions, it has allowed multiple aircraft carrier battle groups to run to the Asia-Pacific region to swagger, which does not actually show that they really have the strength to fight on multiple fronts, but highlights the bluff of the United States' global military deployment.
While the three U.S. aircraft carriers are making waves in the South China Sea, the Chinese military is holding a number of naval and air exercises in the South China Sea in response to military provocations by the United States and its vassals. The United States could not bargain for anything in the South China Sea, and sent three aircraft carriers to the waters near the Korean Peninsula to intimidate the DPRK. However, North Korea responded not with flowers and applause, but with two cruise missiles to "greet" them. Obviously, in the Asia-Pacific region, whether it's China or North Korea, no one really takes them seriously. Because everyone knows that they are bluffing in the South China Sea and the Korean Peninsula, and they do not dare to go to war with China or North Korea.
As a matter of fact, if the people in power in Washington had a little bit of shame, they would not have let three aircraft carriers run to the Asia-Pacific region at this sensitive moment to make people embarrassed. Because the whole world knows that the US military is currently in the Middle East and has no temper at all by the Houthis and the Islamic resistance groups. The Houthis' missiles and drones blow up merchant ships under the noses of US and British warships all day long, and there is no way for them to respond. Just imagine, the army that collapsed like this, but who would be afraid of any national army that is a little stronger than the Houthis?
As we all know, the United States is now caught in the trap of proxy warfare set by Iran in the Middle East, and at the same time needs to bear the humiliation of Ukraine's defeat in Eastern Europe. Therefore, the United States has also brought almost all of its available aircraft carriers to the Asia-Pacific region to provoke China and North Korea when the wildfires of conflict in other regions are difficult to extinguish, and they obviously do not expect to make any compromise between these two countries, but rather rather a common method of trying to cover up the reality of their strategic failure in Europe and the Middle East.
The United States wants to regain the face it has lost in the Middle East in the Asia-Pacific region, but it cannot hide its difficult situation in the Middle East. Suffice it to say, the United States is in a worse position in the Middle East than it is elsewhere. Since the outbreak of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, many US military bases in the Middle East have been attacked almost daily. A few days ago, the US military withdrew from Syria's largest military base, and now the United States is still holding consultations with the Iraqi government to prepare to withdraw its military base deployed in the country. Obviously, in the face of the active and complicated situation, the superpower obviously cannot bear it, so it can only give up some spheres of influence in the Middle East in exchange for the safety of US soldiers.
Of course, in the context of the intensifying Palestinian-Israeli conflict, the withdrawal of US troops from Syria and Iraq does not mean that they can rest easy. Houthi attacks on ships sailing in the Red Sea continue and have already left the United States in a state of flux. In order to get out of the strategic dilemma in the Red Sea, the United States has no choice but to be cheeky and ask China for help. According to media reports, US White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan went to Bangkok, Thailand, on the 26th to hold a meeting with the Chinese Foreign Minister, one of the main topics of discussion was to discuss the Red Sea issue, hoping that China would exert influence on Iran to stop the Houthi attacks on merchant ships.
Before the meeting, Sullivan acknowledged that China has a relationship with Iran and can persuade Iran to stop the Houthis' anti-American actions, but the United States cannot do this. According to foreign media reports, the United States has also asked China for help in settling the Red Sea crisis many times before, and China has also made many contacts with Iran, but "progress is extremely limited." What exactly is the reason why the United States does not know what it is? If you want to ask someone to do something, even if you don't bring some gifts, you don't even have sincerity, can this work? What's more, the Red Sea crisis was caused by the United States, and the bell still needs to be tied to the bell, and the United States itself does not stop supporting Israel, so why should China come forward to settle the matter for them?
