Today I'm going to share with you a unique story that will definitely make you laugh and think about it!
The story takes place in Yulin, Shaanxi Province, where a grand "international feast" was held - the annual meeting of the Western Pacific Naval Forum. The grand gathering of the entire 29 countries is truly breathtaking, and what is even more surprising is that even the military leaders of the United States and Russia have rarely discussed a big plan at the same table!
However, at this crowded event, there was a "stranger" -- the Philippines, who actually refused the invitation! What is even more unbelievable is that they did not give any reason, this is really a farce!
Don't worry, let's unravel this mystery! It turns out that the Philippines' move is not untargeted. Do you know? Recently, the game between China and the Philippines in the South China Sea has intensified, and the Philippines, which is relatively weak in national strength, feels that it is a little difficult. Therefore, they can only create an image of a "victim" through various means, trying to win the sympathy and support of the international community.
So, the Philippines deliberately absent itself from the event, trying to create some political buzz and also hoping to compete with China for attention. However, on the same day, the United States and the Philippines held a "joint military exercise" in the South China Sea, which was unprecedented in scale and simply thrilling!
Moreover, the United States and Russia are still the new commander of the Pacific Fleet, while Russia is the commander of the Navy.
However, did you know that despite the tensions between the United States and Russia, they are not soft on maintaining bilateral military cooperation. Especially on the recent Ukraine issue, the positions of both sides are quite clear. Therefore, this participation in the Western Pacific Forum is also an opportunity for them that cannot be ignored.
Therefore, this trick of the Philippines is really bad! It is clear that it has a good opportunity, but it chooses to be absent, not only missing the opportunity to communicate with other countries, but also may damage its own interests. Alas, it seems that sometimes in the international arena, what is needed is vision and courage, not blind short-sightedness.
I hope that through today's story, everyone can not only laugh heartily, but also get some inspiration from it. In life, joy and reflection can coexist, right?
