Recently, the United States has begun to intensify its efforts to make trouble in the Asia-Pacific region. As if receiving an order, the Philippines immediately went all out to provoke China and cooperate with the United States in staging a "bitter show" in the South China Sea. Philippine President Ferdinand Marcos has called for "proportionate" countermeasures in response to the "attack" by the Chinese coast guard. At the same time, Marcos held a summit meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, and later the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force will conduct joint patrols with the U.S. and Philippine forces in the South China Sea for the first time. In addition, members of the US House of Representatives Armed Services Committee visited Taiwan, and the Taiwan military also plans to conduct a live-fire exercise with ground weapons against the sea in Kinmen Island, Lieyu, Menghuyu, and Houyu, and the nearest site of the exercise is only 4 kilometers from Xiamen. However, the "Ministry of Financial Defense" announced that the originally planned live-fire drill over the sea had been postponed. There was a danger of provocation due to the fear of provocation caused by shooting at sea, and there was a danger of guarding. The flexibility of the Taiwan authorities should be viewed in the light of the situation in the Asia-Pacific region. When the United States is in the Asia-Pacific region, the Taiwan authorities are jumping to a high level, and when the United States has no time to take care of it, it rolls its eyes and pretends to be dead.
The change in the original plan at this juncture should be related to the situation in the Middle East, because the closest allies of the United States have recently caused wars everywhere. Recently, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu officially approved a ground action plan in the southern Gaza city of Rafah. The international community has been warning Israel not to carry out ground operations in Rafah, and many media outlets have previously broken the news that the Biden administration in the United States has pressured Israel not to act in Rafah, but there are great differences. In fact, the United States did not do this because of the discovery of conscience, but because the consequences of attacking Rafah were serious. On the surface, it is said to prevent Israel from moving, but behind the scenes, it continues to send warplanes and missiles to Israel. As long as Israel controls its operations in Gaza, the United States does not have to worry about the possibility of an expansion of the conflict. But Netanyahu's ambitions, the United States still failed to anticipate.
Recently, Israeli airstrikes on targets in rural areas of Aleppo province in northwestern Syria killed 36 Syrian soldiers and wounded dozens more, saying they were aimed at hitting Allah's ammunition depots. Israel has been clamoring for the Northern Expedition to fight Allah in Lebanon, and cross-border firefighting between the two sides has become more frequent. This is tantamount to declaring war on Syria and Lebanon at the same time, and this time Israel has also provoked Iran. Israel sent F-35 warplanes to bomb the Iranian embassy in Syria, killing many people, including senior military officers. Israel has also often bombed Iranian military targets in Syria before, but rarely directly admitted, let alone bombed embassies this time, which amounts to a direct declaration of war. Netanyahu is expanding the war in order to force the United States to end.
In recent years, the United States has shrunk from the Middle East to "great power competition." In the past, he concentrated on fighting trade wars, science and technology wars, financial wars, and information wars with China, and also increased military deployments around China. But Russia failed to sit still and launched a special military operation, temporarily interrupting the United States' all-out suppression of China; and then the Russian-Ukrainian conflict dragged on, and the United States began to turn its energy to the Indo-Pacific region again, but a new round of Palestinian-Israeli conflict began again, and Israel continued to pull back to the Middle East. The U.S. plan has been disrupted, trying to deal with China with all its might and stumbling. In fact, this has nothing to do with Russia or China, but with the enemies of the United States itself, and the military-industrial complex needs to rely on war to make money. In fact, they want to harvest China the most, but they are afraid of putting themselves in it, and China is too stable to jump into the pit at all.
