U.S. military operations in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula have aroused the world's attention and concern. On the one hand, the United States suffered a number of accidents, losing a number of aircraft and personnel, and on the other hand, it announced a number of successful missile tests, demonstrating the capabilities of its homeland defense. The United States has also cooperated with Japan in developing interceptor missiles for hypersonic missiles in an attempt to improve its anti-missile capabilities. However, these moves by the United States have intensified the contradictions with Iran and North Korea, led to the rekindling of war in the Middle East, and the tension on the Korean Peninsula.
U.S. military bases in the Middle East have recently been hit more than 80 times by Iranian-backed militias. These attacks are Iran's counterattack to the United States' support for Israel in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and they are also Iran's sanctions against the United States. Biden, although he reacted somewhat to these attacks, did not take tough measures, fearing provoking a bigger war. The US military presence in the Middle East has been seriously threatened and challenged.
The US military action on the Korean Peninsula has also aroused strong opposition and warnings from the DPRK. The United States, along with South Korea and Japan, has been conducting military exercises and flying patrols, which have stimulated North Korea's nerves. North and South Korea have canceled the only security agreement, and relations between the two countries have fallen to a freezing point, and a conflict could occur at any time. The US military presence on the Korean Peninsula is also facing enormous risks and pressures.
The US military operations in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula have not only failed to achieve its goal of maintaining peace, but have aggravated regional turmoil and unrest. The United States also paid a certain price, losing a CV-22 Osprey transport plane, an F-16 fighter and a *** A total of 8 crew members were killed. The US military equipment has also exposed some problems and flaws, such as the fall of the dashboard of the United States, the failure of the missile launch, etc.
The U.S. military operations in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula have not been able to suppress the military development of Iran and North Korea, but have stimulated the two countries to accelerate the construction of their own defense industries. Both Iran and North Korea have powerful missile arsenals with a range sufficient to threaten U.S. military bases in the Middle East and the Asia-Pacific, and even the U.S. mainland. Iran and North Korea also have hypersonic missiles, which are advanced and difficult to intercept, but the United States has failed in this field and has not succeeded in developing them.
The US military operations in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula have not been able to stop Iran and North Korea from military cooperation with Russia, but have instead promoted military-industrial exchanges between the two countries and Russia. Iran has ordered Su-35 fighter jets, Mi-28 armed *** and Yak-130 trainers from Russia, as well as drones. The DPRK has also acquired core technologies from Russia, such as reconnaissance satellites, nuclear and missile technology, and nuclear submarine technology. Russia's missile technology is the world's leading, and if Iran and North Korea can learn from it, then the United States will face even greater challenges in its homeland defense.
U.S. military operations in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula have not been able to win Japan's full support, but have instead led to Japan's dissatisfaction and distrust. Although Japan has cooperated with the United States in developing interceptor missiles for hypersonic missiles and plans to build two new Aegis ships, Japan also has doubts about the United States' military capabilities and credibility and is worried that the United States will not be able to protect Japan's security. Japan is also dissatisfied with the foreign policy of the United States, believing that the United States has taken too soft attitude toward China and has not resolutely safeguarded Japan's interests.
The US military operations in the Middle East and the Korean Peninsula can be said to be a failed adventure, which did not achieve the expected goals of the United States, but instead brought more troubles and crises to the United States. The United States should reflect on whether its military actions are in line with its national interests and whether they are conducive to world peace and stability. The United States should abandon hegemonism and unilateralism, respect the sovereignty and interests of other countries, coexist peacefully with other countries, and jointly safeguard world peace and development.
