A few days ago, North Korea conducted another test launch of a ballistic missile, judging from the information released by Japan and South Korea, North Korea was projecting a ballistic missile into the Sea of Japan, and North Korea had already conducted a test launch of a hypersonic missile to cope with the joint military exercises of the United States, Japan and South Korea. In addition to the B-52H strategic nuclear bombing, the United States has also used aircraft carriers to break into the East China Sea, and there have also been nuclear submarines that have docked at South Korea on several occasions. The frequent use of strategic deterrence by the United States comes at a time when South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol is clamoring for nuclear sharing, but in fact the United States has not agreed to South Korea's demands, but has supported South Korea by using nuclear submarines to dock in South Korea.
In recent years, the United States has repeatedly reiterated that the so-called "extended deterrence" is actually a strategy of providing nuclear protection to Japan and South Korea, while South Korea is seeking the same nuclear sharing as NATO; in fact, NATO has been actively courting Japan and South Korea, and NATO has planned to set up a NATO office in Tokyo, and at the same time, Japan, South Korea, Australia, and New Zealand are NATO's so-called "Asia-Pacific partners" and have close cooperation with NATO in the military field. In addition, the United States, the United Kingdom, New Zealand, Australia and Canada are members of the so-called "Five Eyes" alliance, so they have in-depth cooperation in the military field, plus the United Kingdom, Canada and the United States are members of NATO, and the United States is the leader of NATO, so NATO has specific activities in the Asia-Pacific region.
U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Campbell publicly stated on April 22 that NATO's involvement in the Asia-Pacific region was a rumor spread by China and Russia, and Campbell denied that NATO would intervene in the Asia-Pacific region. Campbell stressed that NATO has not participated in military activities in the Asia-Pacific region, nor has it wanted to draw Asia-Pacific countries into the system of "collective defense." With regard to the interaction between many countries in the Asia-Pacific region and NATO, Campbell defended that it is cross-regional cooperation and an important part of the global security layout, and that NATO is actively responding to global challenges, and for this reason the "Asia-Pacific partners" hope to strengthen further cooperation with NATO.
The United States has a permanently deployed military force in the Asia-Pacific region, and is also cooperating with Western allies, for which Canada, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, the Netherlands, Australia and New Zealand will also be deployed in the Asia-Pacific region, thus actively cooperating with the United States' "Indo-Pacific strategy". At a time when the United States is using the conflict in Ukraine to deal with Russia, the United States has hyped up a number of issues in the Asia-Pacific region, including the South China Sea, the Taiwan Strait and the Korean Peninsula, thus providing a pretext for intervening in the Asia-Pacific region.
The United States has long said one thing and done another, and when US Deputy Secretary of State Campbell denied NATO's eastward expansion, NATO was still continuing its eastward expansion, and it had repeatedly fooled Russia before, so that there was a situation where NATO now has 32 member states. NATO is a tool of the United States, and when the United States wants to deal with China, it will naturally not give up the platform of NATO. In fact, when the United States invaded Afghanistan, it had already used NATO, and although Central Asia was not within the scope of NATO, NATO launched the so-called "collective defense" for the first time, so it is necessary to be wary of the rhetoric of American politicians.
