Recently, the U.S. Pentagon made another major move, that is, to downgrade the military attaches of embassies in African countries, and has begun to withdraw these high-level military attaches. This action is global and has been It has aroused great attention from the American political circles. Z3z
US officials said that this approach is to integrate global resources, and the real purpose is to confront China and Russia. In fact, this move will continue no matter who the next president of the United States is. After all, this is related to the Sino-US game, and it will exist for a long time.
(1) The US Secretary of Defense lowers the rank of military attachés stationed abroad
According to media reports, in August of this year, US Secretary of Defense Esper has already lowered the positions of US military attaches in many countries, from admiral to colonel. Others said that the United States has removed all military attaches from embassies in several countries in West Africa. According to the US intelligence agency, the main tasks of these military attachés are to supervise the training of US troops abroad, collect intelligence, and at the same time help the US sell weapons and realize the temporary deployment and coordination of US military resources.
(2) The US military responds.
The US military also issued a statement in response to this personnel adjustment and transfer. The US military stated that this plan is under review. The purpose of the review is to align this adjustment with the overall US defense strategy and continue to maintain strategic partnerships with many countries around the world. The so-called national defense strategy is mainly aimed at China and Russia, and these two countries have also become the main focus of the Pentagon. It seems that the United States is also paying special attention to the two major powers of China and Russia.
(3) The US military's approach has been resisted by some people
However, the US military's approach has also been publicly resisted by some members of the US Congress. Some people say that this measure is not conducive to the long-term development of relations between the United States and other countries. Not only that, it will also damage the relationship between the United States and existing allies, and even seriously damage the deployment of the United States' global counter-terrorism operations. At the same time, doing so may also promote the influence of China and Russia in some countries in Africa and the Middle East, which will be detrimental to the United States.
Mike Loveville, former military attache in Pakistan, believes that military ranks are of great significance to some countries. If the United States lowers the military ranks of these military attaches without authorization, the most intuitive feeling is to make these countries think that they are in the United States. The decline in the status of the United States is bound to affect the relationship between the United States and other countries. From this perspective, this analysis is not unreasonable.
