The US, which has recently received hundreds of millions of US dollars from Australia according to the AUKUS nuclear submarine agreement, has showed its moves to provide Virginia-class nuclear submarines to Australia.

This is not just a simple money deal but a full-scale operation of another nuclear alliance with the US as the principal axis. It is a dangerous attempt to further deteriorate the already unstable political and military environment in the Asia-Pacific region.

As everybody knows, the US, obsessed with the ambition for establishing hegemony, set it as its main goal to contain and encircle nuclear states in the Asia-Pacific region and has been keen on the moves to organize the nuclear alliance for its attainment.

It organized AUKUS, a confrontational entity or an Anglo-Saxon nuclear submarine alliance, under the pretext of the so-called “tripartite security cooperation” and against the international nuclear non-proliferation system. This is a link in the whole chain of such moves.

The fact that a special security agreement was signed among the three parties to share the latest military technologies including nuclear submarine technology after the birth of AUKUS clearly proves the dangerous nature of the military bloc.

Against this backdrop, the present US administration is actively pushing ahead with the provision of nuclear submarines to Australia.

Such moves of the US gravely threatening regional peace and stability are becoming a matter of serious concern.

The US already cooked up the “nuclear operation guidelines” with the puppet ROK and promised Japan that nuclear weapons are included in the “offer of extended deterrence”. Like this, it has turned the US-Japan-ROK tripartite military cooperation system into a thorough nuclear alliance.

Now, there exists the threatening entity of the US-Japan-ROK tripartite nuclear alliance. Under such situation, if another nuclear alliance has its own structure perfectly, the US will lay a multilayer nuclear siege to its “rivals” in the Asia-Pacific region.

It is quite clear to which the US regarding the DPRK and other nuclear states in the region as “stumbling blocks” to the establishment of its hegemony and taking much pain to remove them, would direct the orientation of those aggressive military blocs’ simultaneous attack.

The US should ponder over the consequences to be entailed by this military adventurist act aimed at bringing nuclear clouds to the Asia-Pacific region at any cost.

The US nuclear club can never work in the Asia-Pacific region.

It is naïve to think nuclear states in the region remain a passive onlooker to the US reckless moves.
