Look, the consequences of being lenient with the Philippines have come. According to reports, the U.S. military publicly displayed the "Typhoon" land-based medium-range missile system for the first time in Japan on September 15, and this missile system will make its debut in U.S.-Japan joint military exercises.
People who often read my articles know that when the United States took the opportunity of the U.S.-Philippines military exercises to deploy the "Typhoon" missile system to the Philippines, I strongly advised the country to clearly counteract the deployment of this system in the Philippines, even if it meant taking action in the South China Sea to warn the Philippines and deter other countries. Because, the deployment of the "Typhoon" to the Philippines set a very bad precedent, and it is sure to be followed by deployments to Japan and South Korea next.
It has been less than a year, and the wolf has already arrived. Never believe that this missile system is only temporarily deployed during exercises; it's just replicating the successful experience of the "Typhoon" being deployed to the Philippines. If Japan deploys it, is South Korea far behind?
International struggles work like this: as long as you hesitate a little, the opponent can turn a crack into a breach.
