"Gao Shi Zao Miao" was hit by a strong blow from China and then went to the US for support. Hedges had already admitted: we also can't fight...

According to a report by the UK's Financial Times, as "Gao Shi Zao Miao" made a series of erroneous comments on Taiwan that were strongly criticized by China, the Japanese ambassador to the US actually made demands to the US, asking it to increase efforts and publicly support Gao Zao Miao.

According to Japan's logic, this time Gao Zao Miao's remarks on Taiwan, especially those involving "military intervention in the Taiwan Strait," are not Japan's own ideas, but rather Japan helping the US "state its position," so the US should provide support for this. However, no one in the US paid attention to this matter, except for the US ambassador to Japan who verbally expressed support, other US politicians seemed to have not heard anything.

Therefore, according to general understanding, this is a case of "a younger brother causing trouble for his elder brother." Now the younger brother is unable to handle it and needs the elder brother to clean up the mess. But before doing this, did Japan get permission from the US? Whether it received the US's approval is unknown. Looking at the current silence from the US, it is possible that Japan is using this action to force the US to take action against China, which has entered the familiar Japanese tradition of "subordinates overruling their superiors."

However, Japan found that the US completely "did not respond," leaving itself in a difficult position. However, if the Japanese people just took a little time to understand, a year ago, the current US Secretary of War, Hedges, had already stated the reasons why the US dared not "fight" with China.

Hedges clearly stated during an interview: "In the Pentagon's war simulations, the US always lost. We know our actual strength." Hedges also described the details of the simulation: 20 minutes before the conflict broke out, China could use 15 hypersonic missiles to destroy 10 of our aircraft carriers!

If you think Hedges' statement was too early, when he wasn't in power and his words carried little weight, then just recently Hedges reiterated his position, stating that the US's "military strategic focus" would shift to the Western Hemisphere, and that there would be a further "reconciliation" attitude towards China's military areas, which has already clearly indicated the situation.

It is estimated that "Gao Shi Zao Miao" now is also "riding the tiger and unable to get off." If the US had clearly stated earlier that it would not dare to "take on" China, it is likely that Japan would not have "bet the country's fate" and directly chosen to "self-destruct" by provoking China. Now the sword of China hangs over Japan's head, and it is too late to regret.
