2024-10-29 09:44:55The only way to end the conflict is for the US to act responsibly and stop oiling Israel's war machine. This is not the time for symbolic gestures and sham diplomacy. It is a time to make sincere efforts to stop Israel's military adventure and end Palestinian people's suffering, and prevent the vicious circle of tit-for-tat retaliations.
2024-10-29 00:41:29On Oct. 25, 1945, Taiwan was formally returned to China, ending 50 years of colonial rule by Japan. Such a special day should always be remembered by all Chinese people.
2024-10-26 16:05:47By wrapping Europe around its little finger on the grounds of "security", the US can intensify its political control over and military penetration into European allies in the name of "protection" while also driving international capital back to America. There are numerous signs that Europe, which is eager but unable to achieve "strategic independence", may once again find itself deeply mired in a vortex of "balance of nuclear terror".
2024-10-25 21:39:08In early October, USS Seawolf (SSN-21), an attack submarine and the lead ship of its class, arrived at Yokosuka base in Japan. The attack nuclear submarine described by the US Navy as the most expensive, quietest, and rarest attack one has once again arrived in the turbulent East Asia region. What kind of waves will it stir up?
2024-10-25 18:22:01It is reported that Israel recently gave a document with its conditions for a diplomatic solution to end the war in Lebanon to the US. The Israeli demands include that the IDF be allowed to engage in "active enforcement" to make sure Hezbollah doesn't rearm and rebuild its military infrastructure in the areas of southern Lebanon that are close to the border and that its air force have freedom of operation in Lebanese air space.
2024-10-25 17:58:44Saudi Arabia has reportedly proposed a combined naval drill with Iran in the Red Sea. It is widely taken as a positive sign indicating the continuation of the improvement of relations between the two major countries in the Middle East, carrying positive significance to the region.
2024-10-25 10:57:57The military expansion will force several European countries to speed up enlistment and increase military spending, and they have to spend more on defense as the process continues, with the possibility of shifting to a so-called state of "wartime economy". That may lead to an arms race among regional countries or blocs.
2024-10-24 23:21:15America's constant trumpeting about an "Asian version of NATO" and instigation of tension on the peninsula, disregarding the security and welfare of over 50 million ROK people, has already aroused their anti-war sentiments. A lot of people are going on demonstrations on the streets of Seoul, shouting "We want peace, not war".
2024-10-24 21:08:36This direct intervention puts US soldiers on the front lines of the threat posed by Iranian missiles, exposing them to greater security risks. If Iranian missiles strike US soldiers, or if pro-Iranian militias in Iraq or Syria cause US casualties, the US could be forced to directly engage in military action, which will further drag it into the regional conflict and make the security situation even more complicated and chaotic.
2024-10-23 17:02:29Following the outbreak of the Ukraine crisis in 2022, NATO approved the NATO 2022 Strategic Concept and the "most comprehensive defense plans since the end of the Cold War", re-establishing Russia as its "most significant and direct threat."
2024-10-23 09:43:03The US is not trying to maintain the status quo across the Strait or protect "democracy". Instead, it is preparing to initiate a war in the Asia-Pacific to fish for its own narrow gains, just as it has done in Europe and the Middle East. To Lai and his US patrons, peace is a veneer covering the nature of the former's pro-independence stance, development is a means to realize his secessionist cause, and democracy is a pretext to justify their collusion.
2024-10-22 09:01:08The deployment of the Typhon system by the US in the Philippines is a calculated move aimed at dragging the Asia-Pacific into the quagmire of an arms race, signaling a potentially dangerous resurgence of the "specter" of the Cold War.
2024-10-19 22:22:02The ROK Defense Ministry agreed that JSDF could enter the ROK in wartime to deliver supplies to the US Forces Korea, Japanese media reported on October 9th. This decision in a way indicated the mitigation of the military estrangement between Japan and the ROK, and marked a step forward in the US-led trilateral military cooperation.
2024-10-18 19:01:29For a long time, the ROK has been highly reliant on the US for security on the Korean Peninsula and therefore has little say regarding the USFK cost sharing. Although the 12th SMA is a major diplomatic accomplishment achieved with ROK's active efforts, its share has nevertheless increased considerably, again, and will continue to increase annually ever after.
