The following report is by The Trends Journal:
WSWS reported that Jake Sullivan, the U.S. national security adviser, met with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts and the three made plans to hold joint military exercises over the next few years. The report said these countries will also focus on sharing military intelligence.
Beijing sees this coalition as another NATO forming at its doorstep—a claim that the U.S. has denied.
TRENDPOST: It is worth reminding our readers that President Joe Biden in August—after the meeting at Camp David—told reporters that the U.S. is entering “a new era of partnership” in the region.
Wang Wenbin, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson, said, “Attempts to cobble together various exclusionary groupings and bring bloc confrontation and military blocs into the Asia-Pacific are not going to get support and will only be met with vigilance and opposition from regional countries.”
Focus On North Korea
The meeting was, at least publicly, focused on North Korea and nuclear deterrence.
Kim Tae-hyo, South Korean principal deputy national security adviser, warned that Pyongyang could be planning a test launch of a ballistic missile that could deliver a warhead to the U.S. mainland, Bloomberg reported.
On Monday, North Korea responded by firing its first intercontinental ballistic missile test in five months, the Associated Press reported. The missile splashed down in the sea between North Korea and Japan.
North Korea said after the launch that the U.S. is orchestrating a “preview of a nuclear war,” and slammed the arrival of a nuclear-powered submarine in South Korea on Sunday, Voice of America reported.
Newsweek reported that the USS Missouri arrived at one of the nation’s key naval bases about 200 miles southeast of Seoul.
The Virginia-class warship USS Missouri, also designated SSN-780, has arrived at one of the nation’s key naval bases in the port city of Busan, roughly 200 miles southeast of the capital city, Seoul.
TRENDPOST: The Trends Journal has reported extensively on how the U.S. is attempting to militarize the Indo-Pacific region by working out deals with countries to surround China. Besides Japan and South Korea, the U.S. has worked on its relationship with the Philippines and Australia.
Ben McGrath, a WSWS writer, said in an article last week that the U.S. tries to provoke China by sailing warships in the Taiwan Strait to reaffirm “the fundamental importance of peace and stability” in the region.
He wrote: “Beijing asserts that it has some form of jurisdiction over the Taiwan Strait, which includes internal waters, its territorial sea, and its exclusive economic zone extending 200 nautical miles from the coast. Under the ‘One China’ policy, which the U.S., Japan, and South Korea all still nominally recognize, these territorial claims extend from both the mainland and Taiwan.”
He wrote that the U.S. denies this claim and calls the strait “international waters.”
The U.S. State Department has been angering China with its support for Taiwan and its effort to weaponize the island so it can resist an invasion from China long enough for support from allies to arrive. On Saturday, the department authorized another $300 million of equipment to help maintain the island of Taiwan’s tactical information systems.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows. Mark 13:7-8
Gerald Celente of The Trends Journal says it best: “when all else fails they take you to war;” and that war machine continues to ramp. All three of these nations who are now forming joint military exercises together, their economies are collapsing, and so it is not surprising that they are looking to further provoke the red dragon over there. China’s economy is also falling rapidly as well, and so they have just as much vested interest to get involved in a new conflict as the West is. This is why China is rapidly expanding the size and strength of its Army and Navy.
Though I do not expect war with China to occur overnight, I do believe it will eventually happen as the American empire crumbles from within.

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

How much further can the US spread itself thin or is it by design?!
