Not long ago, the United States formed a new security alliance with the United Kingdom and Australia, and promised to provide Australia with nuclear submarine technology, which caused an uproar in international public opinion, such as Indonesia and Malaysia, which took the lead in opposing it, and the former even refused the visit of Australian Prime Minister Morrison.
On this issue, As a responsible major country, China has also expressed its own views, condemning the actions of the United States, Britain and Australia as violating the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, and urging the Biden administration to revoke the decision at an early date. Don't look at Washington's perverse behavior, however, which seems to be on the verge of lawlessness, but they are actually very cautious when it comes to nuclear weapons. The media reported on the 30th that the White House is formulating new nuclear strategic guidelines or considering a commitment to "not using nuclear weapons first."
If you don't understand the situation, you may be very surprised, after all, the United States is a world-famous war dealer, swinging a military stick at every turn to threaten other countries, how can it tie its own hands and feet? But in fact, Washington had such ideas as early as the Obama era, but it was delayed for various reasons, and Biden, as Obama's former deputy, basically inherited the latter's arms control policy, advocating that the purpose of nuclear weapons should be used to deter or carry out nuclear counterattacks.
It is reported that the United States plans to issue a "Nuclear Posture Review Report" before the end of this year, which will be influenced by Biden, when policies such as "no first use of nuclear weapons" will be included, which has caused concerns among many allies of the United States and has come to lobby.
The Financial Times pointed out that the countries that openly oppose Biden's "no first use of nuclear weapons" commitment include nuclear countries such as Britain and France, as well as non-nuclear countries such as Germany, Japan and Australia. They said that if Washington did this, it would be tantamount to sending a "big gift" to China and Russia, and that the policy would only "embolden" the latter, not bring peace.
Not only that, but these guys are also frantically creating panic, saying that the "threat" from hostile countries such as China and Russia is increasing day by day, and now is not the time for random promises, and even supports launching a pre-emptive nuclear strike against Russia when necessary. The little brothers in Washington talked wildly and posed for the good of the United States, but in fact, they all harbored ghost fetuses.
First of all, take Britain and France, they and the United States are grasshoppers on a rope, if the big brother has expressed his position, do they have to follow up? Otherwise, there will certainly be all kinds of pressures. However, for Britain and France, their land area is small, and they do not have the cost of a second nuclear counterattack, so they are unwilling to make a commitment in any way, and only by pre-emptively attacking, the nuclear weapons in their hands have the greatest deterrent.
As for Japan and these countries, the situation is better understood; if the United States decides that in the future, it will "not first use nuclear weapons abroad" except under extremely special circumstances, then it means that Washington will no longer provide a "nuclear umbrella" to its allies.
So the question is, the United States suddenly played the role of "messenger of peace", can this be reliable? The answer, of course, is no. Combined with the analysis of the weapons development of China and Russia, the Biden administration is eighty percent aware of the fact that we have made more and more breakthroughs in hypersonic weapons, and its heart has gradually become bottomless, believing that taking the lead in launching a nuclear strike is tantamount to sending people to death, so it is better to give ourselves a step down and win a good reputation.
Of course, Washington's promises should be listened to, and we don't have to take them too seriously, otherwise we will suffer great losses, and we can never put our safety on others. In short, if the United States does not have dangerous ideas about China, the Dongfeng missile will naturally not aim at them, but if they want to play with fire, the PLA will certainly make them pay the most painful price.
