Recently, Putin once again mentioned the situation in the Asia-Pacific region, and the contradiction was very clear, and as soon as the words fell, Chinese and Russian bombers pounced on the Sea of Japan. Obviously, China and Russia have both noticed the US strategic pivot and immediately launched actions to sound the alarm bell and make it clear to the United States that the Asia-Pacific region cannot be caused by the United States.
In the past two days, Putin held the annual "** live connection", and in five consecutive hours, Putin answered more than 80 questions from reporters and Russian people. This "** live connection" is an established event that has been held every year since Putin took office.
However, due to the outbreak of the Russian-Ukrainian conflict last year, it was temporarily suspended, and it was restarted this year, which can also show that in the second half of this year, the situation of the Russian army on the frontline battlefield is very good, otherwise Putin will not be able to spare time and energy to respond to the Russian people.
It is understood that in the 5-hour live broadcast, Putin answered more than 80 questions non-stop, from the international situation and the development of the Russian state, to the fact that eggs are too expensive, an old Russian man, hoping that the price of eggs can be reduced, and Putin patiently answered them one by one.
During the period, when it came to Sino-Russian relations, Putin talked about several good news, such as the amount of China and Russia, which exceeded 200 billion US dollars for the first time, and Sino-Russian cooperation in infrastructure and high-tech fields are steadily improving.
As soon as the conversation changed, Putin talked about the situation in the Asia-Pacific region again, saying that he saw that there are external forces that are trying to undermine the stability of the Asia-Pacific region, and that China and Russia, as one of the important guarantees for world stability, will certainly prevent interference by external forces.
At the same time, as soon as Putin's words fell, a big move between China and Russia came on the same day. A few days ago, China's Ministry of National Defense announced that in accordance with the annual cooperation plan between the Chinese and Russian militaries, China and Russia officially started the seventh joint strategic air patrol, and the cruise sites are located in the Sea of Japan and the East China Sea.
On the same day, the Japanese Ministry of Defense also released real-time news, the Japanese Air Self-Defense Force, which urgently took off fighters, monitored two H-6 bombers of the People's Liberation Army, and two Tu-95 bombers of the Russian army, rendezvous in the Sea of Japan, and then flew together in the East China Sea. Among them, two J-16s of the People's Liberation Army and one Y-8 electronic reconnaissance plane were also accompanied.
After the opportunity for the Chinese and Russian military to merge, the South Korean Joint Staff urgently issued a message, claiming that six Chinese and Russian fighters had entered the South Korean "air defense identification zone".
Although, according to the official statement of our country, this joint cruise is a routine annual cooperation plan between China and Russia. However, at a time when the current international situation is tense and the undercurrents in the Asia-Pacific region are surging, it is not difficult to guess that this action by China and Russia also has a certain deterrent purpose, so that certain countries in the Asia-Pacific region with ill intentions can settle down a little.
Of course, deterring small countries in the Asia-Pacific region is secondary, and sounding the alarm bell for the United States is the most crucial. Recently, with the gradual clarity of the situation between Russia and Ukraine, the United States and NATO have shown signs of a strategic shift, that is, from Eastern Europe to Russia to the Asia-Pacific region to China.
It is precisely for this reason that in the past period of time, Japan, South Korea, and the Philippines, the "doglegs" of the United States, have been deliberately stirring up the stable situation on the Korean Peninsula, in the South China Sea, and even in the Taiwan Strait. The United States has also intervened in the Asia-Pacific region from time to time, supporting several countries and making no secret of China's ambitions.
Therefore, the timing of this Sino-Russian joint strategic air cruise is just right, and the intensity is also very good. At a time when Japan, South Korea, the Philippines, and other countries are paving the way for provocations before the United States completely turns the ship's head, we need to make it clear to the United States that the Asia-Pacific region cannot be messed up with by the United States.
The United States single-handedly promoted the Russia-Ukraine conflict in Eastern Europe, and allowed Israel to be in the Middle East, which led to the gradual escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict. If the United States does not listen to its good words, then it must take some practical action.
