US military nuclear submarine collision incident exposed serious safety risks (bells)
The collision of the "Connecticut" nuclear submarine in the South China Sea was not just a technical accident, but a serious incident that threatened regional security.
Both the accident itself and the irresponsible attitude of the United States in handling the incident clearly show that the United States is the biggest threat to regional security and stability.
Recently, the USS "Connecticut" nuclear submarine collided with an unknown object while submerging in the South China Sea, causing widespread concern in the international community.
Whether it is the safety risk caused by the accident itself or the irresponsible attitude of the United States in handling the incident, it has made it clear to the international community that the United States’ long-term hegemonic behavior and lack of transparency are the greatest regional security and stability. threat.
According to the US disclosure, the collision of the US military's nuclear submarine in the South China Sea occurred on October 2, but the US did not issue a short and unclear statement until five days later.
It has been more than 20 days since the accident happened, and the US is still covering it up.
The US military dispatched a nuclear submarine to quietly dive in the South China Sea. What mission is it going to perform?
What exactly did it hit?
Why did it hit?
Did it cause a nuclear leak and bring nuclear pollution to the marine environment?
In the face of the legitimate concerns of the international community, especially the countries in the region, the United States, which has always talked about "transparency" and "international responsibility", keeps it secret.
Let me ask, if the military of other countries made similar incidents at the door of the United States, would the US response be so unusually "low-key"?
If something goes wrong, there must be a demon.
In view of the fact that the actions of the United States are full of doubts throughout, all parties have to question the truth of the incident and the true intentions of the United States.
This time it was the American Seawolf class nuclear submarine.
This incident gave the international community a more direct and in-depth understanding of the risks of nuclear leakage and nuclear pollution caused by the high-risk operations of US military nuclear submarines.
It needs to be pointed out that the United States not only has a poor safety record of nuclear submarines, and its nuclear activities have caused damage to international security and the ecological environment, but it is also keen to engage in nuclear exports.
The United States and the United Kingdom recently decided to engage in a nuclear submarine deal with Australia, a non-nuclear-weapon state, which has attracted widespread criticism from the international community.
The US and British nuclear submarines use weapon-grade highly enriched uranium with an abundance of more than 90%. The export of nuclear submarines to Australia by the two countries means the transfer of a large amount of highly sensitive nuclear materials and technology. This move will create a nuclear proliferation risk and easily induce an arms race. .
For many years, the United States has suppressed or even sanctioned other countries engaged in high-enriched uranium activities on the grounds of non-proliferation. However, it took the initiative to commit crimes on the issue of high-enriched uranium involving Australia. This naked double standard has shown that the United States It is the biggest source of risk to international nuclear safety.
The South China Sea is calm and should not become a hunting ground for the United States to pursue its own geopolitical interests.
The frequent and large-scale US dispatch of warships and military aircraft to the South China Sea to provoke troubles, show off its force, and threaten the sovereignty and security of China and other countries is the root cause of the US nuclear submarine collision incident.
Since the beginning of this year, the intensity of the U.S. military's reconnaissance activities on China's arrivals has continued to increase. As of the end of July, the U.S. military had conducted nearly 2,000 reconnaissances on China's sea and air arrivals.
As an extraterritorial country, the United States has long used the South China Sea issue as a card to divide regional countries and exert pressure on China, trying to apply the so-called "rule breaking" and "militarization of the South China Sea" to China.
But facts have repeatedly proved that the United States is the biggest driver of the militarization of the South China Sea and the biggest source of security in the South China Sea.
The "Connecticut" nuclear submarine collision incident was not just a technical accident, but a serious incident that threatened regional security.
The U.S. must take a responsible attitude as soon as possible, explain the whole story and possible follow-up effects to regional countries, and respond to the concerns of the international community.
More importantly, the US needs to deeply reflect on its role in the region.
If you continue to be obsessed with the Cold War mentality and try to maintain its so-called hegemony by means of military pressure and alienation of regional countries, the United States will not only find it difficult to get rid of its image as the greatest saboteur of regional security, it will inevitably lead to unanimous opposition from international peace and justice forces.
