The scale of the "shoulder-to-shoulder" military exercise between the United States and the Philippines is very different from the past, first of all, the number of people has reached 16,700, in addition, a number of allies of the United States have been pulled into the game, and the number of participating countries has reached 14 in addition to the United States and the Philippines.

As a matter of fact, the United States and the Philippines have also conducted such military exercises in previous years, but why did the two sides move so much this year? There is no doubt that it is related to the conflict between China and the Philippines some time ago over the "beached" warship. The Philippines urgently needs to find a backer to support itself, and the world's big brother Lao Mei is of course the first choice, so the Philippines is very decisive and threw itself into the "arms" of Lao Mei.
The United States has always wanted to confuse the waters in the South China Sea, and before that, the old US military also had plans to deploy medium-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region.
In addition to the scale of this military exercise is larger than in previous years, in fact, the United States has also spent a lot of thought on the provision of military equipment, one of which is the above-mentioned medium missile, which is deployed to Luzon Island in the Philippines.
In addition, the United States also plans to send the amphibious assault ship "Boxer" to the South China Sea, and may join the anti-ship strike exercise on the day of the exercise, and the anti-ship strike is obviously aimed at China.
It may be that with the above powerful "foreign aid", the Philippines is full of confidence and wants to "seize the island", of course, this is all delusion of the Philippines, and China will never let the Philippines have this opportunity!
And ironically, Lao Mei's previous series of actions actually wanted to increase the confidence of the Philippines, but I didn't expect the military exercises to start, but Lao Mei was "in constant condition".
Once the "Tomahawk" missile is successfully launched, its range of 1,700 km will undoubtedly pose a threat to the hinterland of the mainland, but when it came to the military exercise, the United States did not take out the "Tomahawk" missile, but replaced it with a standard-6 missile. You must know that the power of this Standard-6 missile is not comparable to that of the "Tomahawk" missile at all, and its range is only 370 kilometers, which cannot be said to hit the hinterland of the mainland.
Not only that, but the amphibious assault ship "Boxer", which was originally scheduled to star, was also absent, and found an excuse for "technical failure of the warship", and "lay down" in the port of the San Diego military base!
Originally, the Philippines happily went to the military exercise, thinking that it would be possible to realize the idea of seizing the island with the help of the United States, but in the end, it turned out to be such a result; without the "support" of the United States, the Philippines would simply be foolish to confront our PLA! So why did the United States flee from the battle?
Obviously, the performance nature of this military exercise is greater than reality, and the reason why Lao and the United States have made remarks and repented is actually to provoke China, but they do not want to be serious with China, and they do not want to trigger China's red line at this time, which will provoke China's real anger.
Moreover, not only did the United States "slip away", but even Japan, the self-proclaimed "ally" of the Philippines, did not give any force, although Japan participated as an observer, but Japan did not even send a single plane, such a scene is really "cold"!
So, what do netizens think about this matter?
Lao Mei just wants to test China's reaction, not to move seriously!
The United States and Japan fled from the battle, and Marcos Jr. was very embarrassed!
The United States and Japan are not strong, in fact, it is the previous Sino-Cuban talks that played a role!
It can be seen from the comments of netizens that some people think that it is difficult to engage in a military conflict between major powers, especially China and the United States, which are more restrained, so this behavior of the United States is a provocation. Some people also believe that the sudden "confession" of the United States is actually the fact that China's previous disclosure of wanting to provide assistance to the Cuban military has played a role, which makes the United States fearful!
What do you think about this?
