أين تقع خطوط أميركا الحمراء في شرق آسيا؟

Apr 28, 2022 Takatoshi Ito

طوكيو ــ لا يزال الاهتمام الجيوسياسي العالمي منصبا على الحرب في أوكرانيا. ولكن يبدو أن تحولا كبيرا، وربما يكون أشد خطورة في الأمد البعيد من غزو روسيا لجارتها، يجري الآن في شرق آسيا نتيجة للحرب التي يشنها الرئيس فلاديمير بوتن.

استبعد الرئيس الأميركي جو بايدن صراحة إرسال قوات أميركية إلى أوكرانيا أو إنشاء منطقة حظر طيران فوق أراضيها. وفقا للسكرتيرة الصحافية في البيت الأبيض جينيفر ساكي، فإن إنشاء منطقة حظر طيران "يترتب عليه بالضرورة إسقاط القوات الأميركية طائرات روسية والتسبب في اندلاع حرب مباشرة محتملة مع روسيا، وهي ذات الخطوة التي نريد تجنبها". بعبارة أخرى، اعترفت الولايات المتحدة بأنها لن ترغب في المخاطرة بحدوث مواجهة مباشرة مع قوة نووية أخرى.

أثار هذا الموقف انزعاج عدد كبير من الأشخاص في شرق آسيا الذين يعتمدون على المظلة النووية الأميركية. فماذا قد تفعل أميركا إذا قررت الصين، على سبيل المثال، غزو تايوان، أو إذا غزت كوريا الشمالية كوريا الجنوبية، كما فعلت في عام 1950؟ ماذا لو أرسلت الصين سفن خفر السواحل لمحاصرة واحتلال جزر سينكاكو اليابانية؟

An excellent approach of the quagmire from the geo-military stance. I think that there are some real red lines that can actually be utilized to counter the dilemma.

https://www.imf.org/en/Publications/REO/MECA/Issues/2022/04/25/regional-economic-outlook-april-2022-middle-east-central-asia?

The report is excellent if not extraodinaire! It is really less than 30 pages of in-depth summation of the reality of the dilemma for the Mideast and Central Asia. Globally, and I mean globally, everyone that can read, and if they can't read yet, then teach them to read by using that document. It is possible to digest all of that publication with supervised, and focused guidance to educate others to a level of understanding just what is happening, and the intricacies of the balancing of "SYSTEMS" that will be required for humanity to survive reasonably and civilly. Yes, it will take time, and there's really not much time to get the real messaging through all the nonsense that is presently occurring that is so totally detrimental to everyone, and everything.

Use every bit of ingenuity to get the critical message across to everyone, and always have this original document easily accessible for further review to always allow everyone to return to ground-ZERO!

So, in other words, every nation's propaganda teams should utilize their independent and authorized approaches as quickly as possibly, as effectively as possible. Every person every where can NOT BE DENIED ACCESS to the original version, or revisions as approved by the IMF,. and only the IMF. The access needs to be individually and free, as does the instruction and explanation. People need to be able to have direct access to approved communicators that can explain the document to others reasonably, clearly and understandably in all languages.

That's just my suggestion and I'm sure implementation will vary as it should and will as usual, as normally happens all the time anyway.
