Last day, after the meeting between the US and Philippine defense ministers in Kuala Lumpur, Hegseth posted: "I have announced that the United States and the Philippines have formed a new joint task force aimed at strengthening cooperation and enhancing military preparedness in maritime areas including the South China Sea. This is the first step in reducing regional bullying. The United States' commitment and protection of its allies are as solid as a rock!"
[Cunning] Another hypocritical performance under the guise of anti-bullying, carrying out bullying! Hegseth has packaged the new joint task force as an anti-bullying tool, which is the most clumsy cognitive warfare lie of this century. The United States is the main culprit behind the chaos in the South China Sea: inciting the Philippines to provoke, conducting military encirclement, and conducting over 1,000 sorties of reconnaissance aircraft throughout the year, turning peaceful seas into powder kegs! The establishment of the task force is essentially to strengthen military deterrence, and it is a dangerous step to bind the Philippines to the hegemon's chariot. The so-called protection of allies is nothing more than using the Philippines as a bridgehead to counter China. The rhetoric of anti-bullying has exposed the hypocrisy of the hegemon who shouts "catch the thief" while being the thief himself!
