Decision of President Trump Change the name of the defense department in the war department Looks like to struggle with your pride Solved seven different wars In Campaign to win Nobel Peace PrizeName change actually changes nothing in the US defense posture, but it strengthens the image that Trump wants to express an incredibly strong American military machine – so strong that no foreign leader will dare to challenge it. The stronger the United States appears, the less any foreign power will doubt American domination. Peace, then, according to this argument, will be strong.
So far, however, the United States has not had to respond military for the worst threats to peace – not in Eastern Europe, despite the war in Ukraine, and not in the Middle East, because Israel destroys Gaza.
However, the worst threat is among the three leaders Sitting on the side At the great “Victory Day” parade in Beijing: hosts, Chinese President Xi Jinping, and his top two guests, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong Un. The fact is that Xi placed Kim in such a place of honor Korean ran away for rescue in war,
The person who ruled China then completed the acquisition of Chinese mainland by his red army. Xi, since the strongest Chinese leader ever since the era of Maoist rule Fully capable Supporting Kim in another Korean war. Putin will be the most permanent Russian leader since Joseph Stalin Almost certainly collaborative with XIAs Mao and Stalin did. Kim is sent about 15,000 soldiers With thousands of artillery shells and other weapons in Russia to support their campaign in Ukraine, after Kim’s grandfather Kim Il Sung established by Russians in 1945, the first is counted on Moscow to support him in the Korean war, deciding to attack South Korea after five years.
Chinese, Russians and North Korean people are now afraid of a regional war holding back in which they will risk heavy losses without the opportunity to win. Trump, from him and the “War Department” Secretary Pete Hegseth, has not yet shown any indication of strengthening the rescue of the US in the region. Instead, he appeared willing to weaken American treaties with South Korea and Japan, talking about his “love” for Kim, with whom he believes he believes Can be able to arrange another meeting yet In the near future.
But Kim does not have Trump’s “need” as he did in 2018 and 2019 when he agreed Two summitIn Singapore, the first of the two, is a wound with a vapid statement, which clearly did nothing to pursue the north American demand to leave his nuclear program, and second, in Hanoi, when Trump cut the dialogue after Kim, it was clearly finished that Kim made his disadvantages and missiles. With Xi and Putin, now completely from his side, Kim can ignore Trump’s entry to a meaningless talkfast of Trump which will definitely give almost no concrete results. Why should he bother him?
Lines in East Asia, the characteristic of its military power after the Beijing victory show, is now more rapidly drawn than ever. Two vast powers and their enthusiastic protector, facing the United States Counts Japan, under arms with a small number of men and women with a sleeping giant but a technically advanced military establishment, and South Korea, a major arms exporter. Going under the island chain, Taiwan and the Philippines also face China in separate deadlocks, requiring US support if they are to survive. South Korea, Always be afraid of bothering ChinaIts biggest trading partner, does not want any part of protecting either of them, but Japan considers its freedom and freedom to be important for regional security.
Wild cardAs usual, Trump is. Proud as a person of peace, he talked about reducing the number of American troops in both Korea and Japan, while bargaining for the two countries to contribute more to the cost of American defense. If renaming the name of the Defense Department is anything, it may eventually have to display America’s Vaunted army in an area where conflict, once it starts, will have more bloodshed than “limited war” limited to Gaza and Ukraine.
