The US breaks its silence, and the US military has made a statement! On December 9, Colonel Roger Turner, commander of the 3rd Marine Expeditionary Force of the U.S. Marines stationed in Japan, stated that the radar illumination "was provocative," and this behavior was particularly provocative in recent situations. Obviously, regarding this recent military friction between China and Japan, the U.S. forces stationed in Japan have clearly taken Japan's side. However, the statement from the U.S. forces stationed in Japan is quite intriguing.
It's no surprise that the U.S. forces stationed in Japan have taken Japan's side. What's surprising is that after the U.S. forces stationed in Japan claimed that we were "provocative," they have not made any other statements or taken any actions. What does this indicate? It indicates that as an ally of Japan, the United States cannot help but make a statement, but it also cannot make an excessive one. Considering that this is the first statement from the U.S. military since the recent military friction between China and Japan, the U.S. statement is relatively restrained and it does not want to escalate the situation or provide substantial support to Japan.
Naturally, we cannot accept this kind of statement from the U.S. military. Our aircraft carrier was conducting normal training, and Japanese fighter jets insisted on entering for reconnaissance, which makes our countermeasures reasonable and justified. Japan wants to collect intelligence and deliberately provokes, and there is no reason for us to tolerate it. In fact, in our vicinity, U.S. aircraft are habitual provocateurs. Before the U.S. military accuses us, they should first look in the mirror and examine themselves.
