America and Japan's Trouble-Making Would Bring Retaliation

By adding American protection of the Diaoyu Islands to the TPP, Obama is inciting Shinzō Abe to challenge China’s bottom-line on the conflict. This will lead to a worsening of the Asia-Pacific situation. America started the Diaoyu Islands problem. When America privately gave the Diaoyu Islands, which rightfully belonged to China, to Japan because of its Cold War considerations, it laid a foundation for today’s territorial conflict between China and Japan. Obama’s blatant siding with Japan, in contrast with America’s past neutral stance, has the intention of curbing China’s development and growth. America is using the protection of the Diaoyu Islands as the lure to make Japan even more loyal.
For years, America has been the undisputed leader in the world; it has gained maximum benefit from all over the globe. But recently, as the economy suffered, its national strength weakened, and especially after the Iraq and Afghanistan wars depleted its strength, America is no longer as powerful as it would like to be in deploying its troops. It has shifted to training proxies and lackeys for fulfilling its goals and inciting trouble. The Color Revolution in Eastern Europe, the Jasmine Revolution in the Middle East, the situations in Libya and Syria, and the recent Ukrainian crisis were all results of American manipulation. America meddled for its own gain. It could not bring peace, democracy and prosperity for the local people; it would only cause national disintegration, separation of nationalities and endless suffering of the people in other countries.
In fact, America’s tough exterior and weak interior means its promise to its allies is just talk. Obama said “Now, the implication of the question I think is, is that each and every time a country violates one of those norms the United States should go to war, or stand prepared to engage militarily, and if it doesn’t then somehow we’re not serious about those norms. Well, that’s not the case.” Russian President Putin said it even more succinctly: “Our partners don't want allies; they want vassals.” America’s blank check to Japan would never be cashed.
