Recently, former New York Times editor Barry Gavin openly supported Japan's efforts to develop nuclear power in an article published in The National Interest.
The reason given is that Japan, as the leader of the global peace movement, is unable to possess nuclear weapons, which makes its status incommensurate with it.
As for how this person recognized Japan as the leader of the global peace movement, I am afraid that there are two reasons: First, his own country has never suffered a loss, and he either fights turkeys or barbecues Japan;The second is that Japan has been screaming for us and Russia to give up having nuclear weapons. This is very much in line with the appetite of Americans.
But one thing this Barry Gavin is right, there is no nuclear **, everything that Japan yells at is similar to a dog barking, and no one will really take it seriously.
In fact, the instructor has long said, "The atomic bomb is just that, and if you don't have it, people will say that you don't count." Therefore, relatively speaking, the nuclear-armed countries naturally carry more weight than the non-nuclear countries, especially when the nuclear-armed countries have a little bit of a spirit.
It is not possible to determine whether the public statements of Barry Gavin, a guy with a certain position in the American media industry, have an American background. However, against the backdrop of the United States being overwhelmed by the four fronts of Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Latin America, and East Asia, letting this wind go out will at least show that the United States will release Japan as a strategic means to maintain its hegemony when its hegemonic position is seriously challenged and it is likely to fall from power.
In recent years, the attitude of the United States toward Japan's nuclear weapons rhetoric has changed somewhat.
For example, last year, Yuichiro Tamaki, leader of Japan's right-wing Democratic Party, declared that Japan should seek to possess nuclear submarines, because the existing conventional power submarines of the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force have limited submarine submarine capabilities, which are insufficient to deal with submarine-launched ballistic missiles from unknown launch sites.
Although this kind of remark was made by the Japanese opposition party, it should be put aside 30 years ago, when the US military bases in Japan were so high and low that a few drag racing cars rushed out, and first caused a traffic accident and pressed a zipper on the mouth of little Japan with a tire.
However, the situation is stronger than people, and it is true that the hegemonic position of the United States is still there, but now the means by which the United States maintains its hegemony presents a kind of atavistic phenomenon.
If after World War II, the United States can still claim to be a beacon of democracy and has been recognized by most countries led by the West, then in the seventies and eighties of the last century, especially after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the United States, which had no rivals around it, really floated and started a violent bloodletting mode against other countries.
It is somewhat understandable that Russia has been wildly thrown tens of trillions of dollars by the United States by financial means, after all, it is a sworn enemy who once shared the sky. The Asian financial crisis has also made sense of the harvest of Southeast Asia, and the opponent is too vegetable, and the United States has fallen without much force, and it is not to blame others for being black.
But stabbing traditional allies such as Germany and France would be too dismoral. As for the local tyrants in the Middle East, they are dirty, not stupid, and when it comes to trading, the United States is at least at the level of a grandchild.
In short, the United States is no longer able to pretend to be self-defeating, and with its strong military strength, it is brazenly imposing protection money all over the world, and the position of this boss seems to be relatively stable, but the image of a righteous man and a gentleman can no longer be maintained, and all countries are resentful, and they dare not say that the road is true, but they are contrary to the yang and yin, and the finger-pointing at the United States is no longer submissive.
The reason for this situation is not complicated, any big empire in history will breed arrogant interest groups within itself when it thinks it can fight all over the world. As a result, more and more enemies have been made.
This is the current reality of the United States.
It is already a certainty that Ukraine will not be able to take it, and if you want to pull out this foot in the Middle East, you must first pull out your own oxygen tube and plug it in for Israel, but there is still a Guyana by your side.
Guyana is not a master who can be saved by a little blood transfusion, and the United States has to take it by itself. Of course, hitting Venezuela is like cutting melons and vegetables for the United States, but once Venezuela cuts a stubble and grows a stubble like Hamas, it will be difficult to do. Don't forget that the oxygen tube in the United States is still plugged into Israel, and how long it can last is a question.
The key is that there is still half a breath left to deal with East Asia, and this piece is not exploded now, but once it explodes, will the United States dare to hold the oxygen tank?
This brings us back to the point, there must be a thug in East Asia to take care of his home and home, and this thug can only be Japan.
Based on this international situation, Japan is sensitive. On August 24, Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said that Japan is entering a new phase of its nuclear energy strategy. Plans to restart more idle nuclear power plants and consider developing next-generation nuclear reactors are ostensibly a major shift from Japan's previous policy of abandoning the construction of new nuclear power plants. In fact, Japan's nuclear ambitions have once again swelled, testing the reaction of all sides under the banner of civilian use.
From the point of view of the national character of the Japanese nation, relying on the United States for nuclear protection can only be phased, and its ambitions do not allow it to be truly domesticated; moreover, the US nuclear umbrella is now worn out and not good, and he himself is not confident in whether he can protect himself.
As a result, Japan felt that it was becoming a growing threat, so it believed that the only way to pursue its own security and achieve its unrelenting pursuit of expansion was to possess nuclear weapons. The decline of the United States and its own troubles are undoubtedly an opportunity for Japan. There is also reason to believe that from a technical point of view, there is no obstacle for Japan to have a nuclear weapon, and it is only a matter of time before it is possessed.
The main reason why the United States has the motive and reason to dare to loosen the rope that strangled Japan is that, apart from the aforementioned fact that it has to let it out and bite people, the main reason is that it is not afraid of Japan biting back, and as long as Japan's delivery capacity is strictly limited and it cannot fly far, Japan will still play a fart kamikaze.
In short, there is a possibility that Hum Ha Er will jump off the wall in a hurry, and we have to guard against this.
