US intends to deploy medium-range missiles in Asia

The United States does not rule out the deployment of medium-range missiles in the Asian region, including Japan, in the future, this possibility is being considered. This was stated by the US President's Special Representative for Arms Control Marshall Billingsley, according to the Japanese edition Nikkei.

Billingsley said the US intends to negotiate with its allies about the threat from China, which is building up its nuclear potential. Washington is convinced that US allies in Asia need American missiles on their soil to defend against the Chinese threat.

This is exactly the kind of defensive capability that countries like Japan will want and need in the future.

- said the US special representative.

Earlier, the Japanese media reported that the United States began consultations with Japan on the deployment of medium-range missiles in Japanese territory, but official Tokyo has not yet confirmed this information. US Defense Secretary Mark Esper also announced the deployment of medium-range missiles in the Asia-Pacific region.

We will remind that earlier Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia would not deploy the medium-range missiles that it has, until the moment the US starts the deployment.

It is a pity that we do not have a military base in Mexico, it was possible to deploy something there so that the United States does not seem like honey.

[Vladimir Mashkov]

There is such an anecdote: one of the furious debaters was thrown into the water, she drowns, disappeared headlong, but, putting her hand out of the water, makes movements with her fingers, confirming her innocence. So the United States: they have a huge national debt, the dollar is staggering, a significant economic recession and an increase in unemployment, the coronavirus epidemic and the rampant "black democracy", their authority has fallen so much that only the Dominican Republic voted for them at the UN - and they continue to threaten the whole world, to strengthen tension and arms race. It is necessary for the true masters of America (they think that the whole world) to divert attention from internal problems, receive super-profits and feed their lackeys and servants. For the whole world, peoples, people, they, as always, do not care!

There is Cuba and Venezuela, there is Nicaragua. But it is not a fact that modern Russia will pull such a confrontation and the content of satellites. We are now losing Berorussia, GDP (in terms of dollars) has almost halved compared to ten years ago ... Pensioners have already been made happy, at whose expense should you order a banquet?
American CDs in Japan, this is primarily China's concern. Let them move.
We do not have a normal fleet or transport aviation, the economy is collapsing (in terms of GDP, agriculture has grown a little, which pleases). Mainly modernized Soviet-made models are being adopted for service ... BMP-1 with a new module from BTR-82A ... T-72V3 with slots in dynamic protection ... America is falling down on its own ... and China will help it with this ...
And we have our own game.

[Kasym]

RUnnm, then rumors started somehow that they would lease land to the Chinese - the people clearly did not approve of this, protests began and all that. We are also striving to "lie under China", just like you - the pipelines have already been stretched. The Silk Road was built and became the "champions" in the transit of Chinese goods. We get loans and investments from there.
The Alkonaut has obviously gone over the "green snake". There have already been "battles" when people like him deployed a NATO base in the Kazakh part of the Caspian. According to our laws, it is prohibited to deploy military bases of third countries without the approval of the CSTO countries.
It is clear that the United States really wants to drive a wedge with us. But that's just ... they'll shut up any unsanctioned demonstration or meeting for one or two. Here we have one refugee (Ablyazov, a former minister, etc.) constantly inciting the people, so little comes out.

[Nikolai Korovin]

These were the aggressive Chinese who looked askance at the samurai who were building Asia for the Asians.

[vVvAD]

Now the situation is different: Japan is preparing to confront China in the struggle for the disputed territories and waters around them. China is filling islands, expanding its waters in disputed regions, and arranging a WB there. Well done: they can and can
But it would be a big mistake for Japan to accept the American proposal: everyone with whom they have territorial and other disputes and contradictions will react to this. China will answer in such a way that Japan will not seem a little - they simply have more resources, and now they have more military technologies. We, too, will not stand aside - in these conditions it will not be difficult to explain to the Chinese the combat duty of the BZHRK in the eastern part of the country. However, the Chinese themselves are not stupid: they have placed their launchers, apparently by mutual agreement, closer to the border with us - immediately under two missile defense umbrellas: their own off the coast and ours.
And the US strategy is clear as daylight - Divide et impera.
Returning to Japan: their sovereignty is conditional, the United States can push through.

Washington is convinced that US allies in Asia need American missiles on their soil to defend against the Chinese threat.

Whether the "US allies" themselves are convinced of this is an open question. therefore

US intends to negotiate with allies about the threat from China

... Sanctions will convince.

[sabakina]

This is exactly the kind of defensive ability.that countries like Japan will want and need in the future

I don’t understand a little, do they want to shoot down Chinese tactical nuclear weapons with medium-range missiles? And what if the Chinese programmed that it would explode when TNW hit?

[vVvAD]

No - it is a weapon of deterrence and attack. Not to be confused with missile defense - completely different missiles.

And what if the Chinese programmed that it would explode when TNW hit?

Anti-aircraft missiles, you know, do not hit the missile in the forehead - if you are talking about outdated contact fuses - they damage the missile in the engine or control compartment, tanks (as for kinetic, fragmentation simply damage), and at such a speed it disintegrates in the air, neither what initiation of an explosion in such a situation is out of the question. Modern cruise missiles, IRBMs and BMBMs are not made in the same dimension to have powerful all-aspect radars to detect other missiles and track their course. Even ICBMs do not have such capabilities - otherwise they would have turned, first of all, into excellent targets for guidance by means of RTR and, secondly, into useless blanks with warheads of very conventional efficiency.

It already formally exists - Japan, South Caucasus, Thailand, Brunei + ANZUS countries ... (American and / or British troops are stationed on the territory of these countries) ...

And if after that, China does not understand the hint, the US will give the go-ahead to Japan, Taiwan, South Korea to develop their nuclear programs.

It is necessary for the United States, the United States itself restrains the missile programs of the South Caucasus and Japan, it is clear that you are not reading periodicals ...

China is driving itself into a political dead end, because it is easier to negotiate with one than with several countries.

With whom to negotiate with the United States? Agreements concluded with the United States do not cost the money of the paper itself on which the agreement is written ...

Although this is not understood either in China or in Russia.

The Russian Federation and the PRC understand that most of its neighbors have short and medium-range BR / KR, and the Russian Federation has not even begun to supply them to its troops ...
If Japan wants to see Russian short and medium-range ballistic missiles / missile systems at their side, God help ...

That's exactly what I read the pireodic, and what do you think, who is keeping Japan, Taiwan, South Korea from the arms race is clearly not Beijing and Moscow. Formally, explain how, as far as I know, there are treaties on the defense of the United States and some states, but there is no collective agreement. Give an example where the United States does not comply with the treaty.

But these include in terms of their performance characteristics the anti-missiles deployed by the United States in Europe ....

Then the PRC is not a party to the INF Treaty, so it did not violate anything ...
The INF Treaty was initially beneficial only to the United States, with the advent of the Russian Federation of sea carriers of the KR MB, it has lost its relevance, in addition, the military power of the PLA has increased, which must be parried ...
The same can be said about the ABM Treaty, which became irrelevant after the PLA and KPA had ICBMs capable of reaching the United States ...

[Shiden]

Well, you yourself understood what you wrote. I didn’t know that interceptor missiles were already considered an attack weapon, so why are they called that. And I did not say that the PRC is violating, just if you carefully read my comment, I pointed out that the PRC does not want to sit at the negotiating table. But when China's neighbors and Russia have neighbors with nuclear weapons, then there will immediately be a cry that America is to blame. That is the mistake of all urapatriots, that no one wants to think about the aftermath.

I read it carefully, I don’t understand why the US didn’t invite India, Pakistan, comrade Eun ... to the negotiating table?
It would be logical to link the INF Treaty with all the countries that possess them, as well as the renewal of the ABM Treaty ....
The United States does not give any guarantees to the PRC that the United States will not attack the PRC ...
I understand the United States if the PLA was located in Canada and Mexico and threatened the security of the United States, but for now, just the opposite, the US WB is located at the neighbors of the PRC ...
The PRC looked at the experience of the USSR and did not want to limit its shock capabilities, trusting, like the USSR in its time in the United States, the party leadership of the CPC is less visibly corrupt than the party leadership of the USSR, which surrendered all the achievements of the USSR in the Second World War ...

But when will China's neighbors and Russia have neighbors with nuclear weapons?

, Pakistan, India, North Korea and Israeli Jews are closer to the Russian Federation than to the United States .... however, they are not going to leave the "nuclear club" in the next 1000 years ....

[Shiden]

According to the performance characteristics, the C400 and C500 also, in your opinion, fall under the RMSD agreement or not, but I see such a feeling here I don't see it, but here the fish were wrapped up. Well, in the USA they just sleep like that and see how to attack a billion-dollar China. But China's pretensions to its neighbors periodically reveals what, in your opinion, Japan or Taiwan should do. Here is an example of the DPRK, when neither China nor the USSR gave security guarantees, KIM ER SENU brought the DPRK to the nuclear club. And now imagine what will happen when the US refuses from such guarantees in relation to allies. I assure you that the world will be replenished with several more countries with nuclear weapons. And where there is a guarantee that nuclear weapons will not be used.

[Lara Croft]

Quote: Shiden

And where is the guarantee that nuclear weapons will not be used.

So far, only the United States has used nuclear weapons against peaceful cities ... but for some reason they are afraid everyone should China and the Russian Federation, where is the logic ....?

In terms of performance characteristics, S400 and S500 also, in your opinion, fall under the RMSD agreement or not

By no means.

But China's pretensions to its neighbors periodically reveals what, in your opinion, Japan or Taiwan should do.

Let it be presented, a free country ts ... Taiwan is generally not recognized by anyone, and on the Japanese islands the US WB ...
According to your logic, Spain should also start creating nuclear weapons, due to the fact that Great Britain does not return Gibraltar to it ...

Now, just imagine what will happen when the United States abandons such guarantees in relation to its allies.

Either they will behave more modestly, or they will find another ally ...

[Shiden]

And neither of which the United States and the Japanese Empire have fought a priori for four years, this implies that the word peaceful is not clever here, but the word enemy is more pleasing. After all, this term is suitable for Berlin, 41 years old, but a peaceful city and Soviet aviation bombed it, that's where it is. logic. That is, that the C400 and C500 are considered anti-missiles, and the American system is not such, and this is only based on the name alone. At the expense of Gibraltar, Spain and England are guided by this logic, and therefore they have not been at war for 200 years. It's more modest as if Beijing wants to return Okinawa or the North of Vietnam or Korea, once these territories were vassals of the Celestial Empire, then you need to give up and generally be silent.

I can't say anything about Japan and Taiwan, but as for South Korea, it has a bilateral agreement with the United States on missiles. Now the Americans have allowed the Southerners to have missiles with a certain range and payload. Under the 2012 agreement, the southerners had the right to create missiles with a range of 300 km and a payload of 2 tons, a range of 500 km and a load of 1 ton, a range of 800 km and a load of 500 kg.
With the 2017 agreement, the numbers have changed. Now they are entitled to missiles with a range of 800 km and a load of 2 tons. Accordingly, with a load of 1 ton and 0,5 tons, these missiles will already be medium-range missiles.

They abandoned the deployment of Aegis Ashur rather than an entirely American missile defense system. At least THAAD they agree to post. Placement of Aegis Ashur - what's the point when Japan has its own missiles of this type.

Placing nuclear missiles on the islands is a very wise decision. probably so that any artillery shell could smash these installations.
And by the way, you have never heard that Iskanders are military-grade systems. Where will the Iskanders come from to place them on the islands. The placement limit has been completely exhausted. And in order for it to appear, it is necessary to make a decision to have TWO brigades in the army, and not ONE. And they will be produced for a very, very long time, because the plant is not rubber and it will be necessary to abandon either new missiles of the Strategic Missile Forces, or new missiles for boats, or not at all to start making medium-range missiles. What option would you choose in order to put Iskander on the Kuril Islands ???
