Trump is an exception among Western politicians. Although shameless and fickle, he sometimes tells the truth. On March 19, during a meeting between the U.S. and Japanese leaders, when the media asked why the negotiations were still ongoing, the U.S. suddenly launched a military strike against Iran, implementing a decapitation operation? Trump, without considering the embarrassment of Takahashi Hayana, directly compared the action against Iran to Japan's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor, and even said that no one knows "surprise attacks" better than Japan.
According to the Chinese saying, Trump's words reflect a "true petty person" character. In military affairs, deception is not uncommon, but from a political and moral perspective, it becomes the shamelessness of shamelessness. The problem is, once power decides to solve issues through force, the so-called "military virtue" of the weak is just a cold joke.
However, Trump's fickle nature makes his honesty just a fleeting moment; more often, it's lies and political fraud. The U.S. deliberately used two cruise missiles to precisely bomb an Iranian school, killing dozens of students, and Trump still tried to justify it as an accident, or simply shifted the blame to Iran. It's like when the Chinese embassy in Yugoslavia was bombed, the U.S. president and the Pentagon still made excuses.
Publicly bombing an Iranian school, with the goal of killing innocent students, trying to weaken the resistance will of the Iranians. People with conscience in the U.S. could not stand it anymore, openly questioning the Pentagon, "Are American soldiers worth fighting for such shameless country as the United States?" "Not at all." However, such voices can only spread on the fringes in a country that claims freedom of speech.
Under the international politics of the West, where the strong prey on the weak, guns and cannons are the truth. The so-called clothes of freedom and democracy are not worth looking at, nor worth taking off.
"There are no permanent friends or enemies in international politics." A Western politician who can say this famous quote, although shameless, still has a little bit of the conscience to tell the truth.
