Since the end of the Cold War, relations between the United States and Russia have been tense, but the sharp deterioration of relations between the two countries after Biden took office was surprising. On March 18, the Russian Embassy in the United States issued a statement saying that some high-level remarks by the US side threatened to collapse Russian-American relations.
Judging by the reaction of the Russian side, Russia has almost lost hope for an improvement in relations with the United States. Just the day before, Biden launched a direct attack on Putin. Biden said in an interview with ABC that he agreed that Putin is a killer and claimed that Putin would "pay the price" for intervening in the United States.
The United States has always been interested in sanctioning Russia and finding an excuse for sanctioning it, and this direct attack on Putin shows that the United States has no mercy on Russia. This statement made America's allies also see the signal and had to express it.
Britain behaved very aggressively, declaring Russia the greatest threat to Britain, accusing Russia of frequent intrusions into British waters and airspace, and using Russia's threats as a pretext to demand the expansion of Britain's nuclear arsenal. In the Asia-Pacific region, Japan has also taken action against Russia.
According to the Russian Satellite News Agency 18**, after the talks between the Minister of Defense of Ukraine and Japanese Defense Minister Nobuo Kishi, the Press Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine said that Japan will participate in the "Sea Breeze-2021" military exercises held in Ukraine, and the two sides also agreed on a large number of military and political issues.
Japan's choice of this time to participate in military exercises is undoubtedly to support Ukraine and provoke Russia. Since Japan has clearly sided with the United States, Japan has been extremely arrogant in the face of the "adversary" of the United States. The United States regards China as its main competitor, and Japan has adopted a posture of all-out attack on China.
At the "2+2" talks between the United States and Japan, Japan broke the previous scale and challenged China on issues related to Hong Kong and Xinjiang. However, Japan did not stop there, and decided to hold a joint Xi exercise with the United States, and the "Nippon Shimbun" openly stated that the Xi exercise was aimed at deterring China from "invading Japan's territorial waters."
Although Japan has military ambitions in the Indo-Pacific, its provocation against China and Russia is so exaggerated, apparently to curry favor with the United States. The United States has given Japan unprecedented attention, and Japan knows how to reciprocate.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken and U.S. Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin visited Japan on March 15, and Suga bowed to Austin after his meeting with Austin. Bowing is a common etiquette in Japan, but the Japanese prime minister and the U.S. defense minister are not at the same level, and Austin is tall, so even in the eyes of the Japanese media, Suga's move is still too humble.
When Trump visited Japan that year, Shinzo, who was the prime minister of Japan at the time, was ridiculed for the "handshake incident" and the "golf accompaniment" incident, but Trump was the United States. In contrast, Suga is even more humble.
It is understandable that Japan cannot get rid of the control of the United States, but Japan has completely fallen to the United States and has made the wrong decision after saddle up for the United States. What does Japan gain by being a vassal of the United States?There is a high probability that it will be burned.
Japan is targeting China and Russia at the same time, but the United States is far away, and China and Russia are neighbors that Japan cannot move away. Let's talk about Russia first, Russia and Japan originally had a dispute over the four northern islands, and Japan has always hoped to be able to recover the four northern islands, but Putin has taken a tough attitude and has conducted many drills to demonstrate deterrence. Originally, Japan was still expected to take back the two islands, but after Japan provoked Russia, Russia would only pay more attention to military construction of the four northern islands.
As for China, China is Japan's largest partner, and if Japan wants to achieve economic recovery, it has to pay attention to the Chinese market. Japan is bent on going its own way, and China will not be indifferent to being the main wrongdoer, and Japan needs to be prepared to pay the price in economic and trade relations.
In addition, the United States has always hoped to deploy medium-range missiles in Japan, which neither China nor Russia can tolerate, and Japan may be the first to be hit as soon as the war begins. On March 22, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov will pay a visit to China.
The United States deliberately co-opts Japan to target China and Russia, which will only promote the further strengthening of Sino-Russian relations. The possibility of joint action between China and Russia is increasing, and Japan, as a vassal of the United States, may find itself in a serious diplomatic dilemma because of its blind obedience.
The article profoundly reveals some tense trends in the current international political situation, in particular, the sharp deterioration of relations between the United States and Russia and Japan's actions against this background. On the global political map, this series of events has undoubtedly brought new uncertainties and risks to the international community.
First, the tension in US-Russian relations has attracted widespread attention. Since Biden took office, the United States has taken an increasingly tough attitude towards Russia, and its direct attack on Putin has brought the relationship between the two sides to a freezing point. This tension is not only reflected in rhetoric, but also in deeds, such as the fact that the United States has been looking for an excuse to sanction Russia. The article's analysis of this phenomenon is profound and thorough, highlighting the danger of the situation.
Second, Japan's actions in the international political arena are also attracting attention. Japan's choice to participate in military exercises in Ukraine at a time of tension between the United States and Russia is clearly supporting the United States and provoking Russia. This shows that Japan's blind obedience to the United States may not only damage its relations with China and Russia, but also put itself in a dangerous position. This paper provides an in-depth analysis of Japan's position and behavior in international politics and points out the diplomatic dilemmas it may face.
In addition, the article also mentions the United States' efforts to woo Japan in an attempt to make Japan its ally in the Asia-Pacific region. However, this blind behavior could cause Japan to lose its independence in international affairs and become a vassal of the United States. The article's analysis of this point reminds the international community that it should be vigilant against blindly following the behavior of major powers and maintain an independent foreign policy.
Finally, the article also puts forward important points on the possible strengthening of Sino-Russian relations. While the United States is courting Japan, China and Russia may strengthen cooperation on some key issues to counter the U.S. hardline. This point is emphasized in the article, which opens up new possibilities for balancing forces in international politics.
On the whole, this review provides readers with a clearer perspective on some important events in international politics. At a time of turbulence in the world, it is particularly important to have an in-depth understanding and rational thinking about these issues.
