【禁聞】美國戰略新佈局 重心轉向亞太

【新唐人2012年1月7日訊】美國總統奧巴馬5號公布了新的國防計劃,削減國防開支近5000億美元。值得關注的是,在美國軍事戰略調整的大格局中,亞太地區成為重點。同時,白宮不否認這份報告是針對中共建軍而來。

奧巴馬5號在五角大樓召開新聞發佈會,公布最新的戰略評估,計劃在十年內至少削減4870億美元的國防開支。

奧巴馬表示,美軍在經歷了十年戰爭後,處於一個轉型時期。美國當前的經濟狀況迫使美國削減國防開支。因此,美國將縮減地面部隊規模,減少在歐洲的軍事存在。不過奧巴馬表示,美國將繼續保持軍事優勢,同時將把軍事重心轉向中東和亞太地區。

奧巴馬:「我們將加強我們在亞太的軍事存在,在那個關鍵地區開支預算不會削減。」「我們將繼續保持警惕,特別是在中東地區。」

同時出席新聞發佈會的還有美國國防部長帕內塔,和參謀長聯席會議主席馬丁•登普西將軍。

帕內塔宣佈,美軍人數在未來十年將縮編到49萬人,他還表示,在國防預算削減後,美軍將進一步增強特別行動、導彈防禦以及網絡作戰等方面的能力,從而避免再發動如阿富汗和伊拉克戰爭那樣的「大規模、長時間」的軍事行動。

據了解,帕內塔預期將推遲美國最昂貴的武器購買項目——隱形戰機F35,但不會縮減美國的十一個航空母艦戰鬥群的編製。白宮發言人卡尼當天被問及:這份報告是否針對中國而來時,並沒有否認。

新唐人時事評論員陳志飛:「實際上在APEC會議之後,在當時美國就作出重返亞太,之後美國的媒體一致也是認為,這些行動的矛頭也是劍指中共的。現在在這個時候美國政府又作出…從政策上正式的作出調整,說明這個舉措,從亞太制衡中共極權,已經成為美國新的外交和戰略策略。」

除了亞太以外,奧巴馬也表示,美軍不會減少在中東的存在並且將保持警戒,帕內塔也表示,將加強與中東盟友的合作,反擊侵略性行為。一般認為這是針對伊朗而來。

政論家伍凡分析,美國新的國防計劃中,有兩個關鍵的地方!

伍凡:「一個就是南海,一個就是阿拉伯灣的荷姆茲海峽,這兩個為甚麼重要呢?一個是涉及到全球的能源的路徑。從中東、中亞出來的石油,首先第一關就是經過阿拉伯灣荷姆茲海峽﹔到遠東來,就要經過南海。這兩個正好是這兩個國家﹙中共、伊朗﹚控制、影響的地區。所以他﹙美國﹚就把海、空軍要放在這個地區。」

伍凡表示,美國未來十年的戰略目標鎖定中共和伊朗,但不再沿襲伊拉克、阿富汗戰爭的模式。

伍凡:「他不打陸軍戰了,不想伊拉克、阿富汗戰爭那樣打,他用海空軍來消滅你的基地,他的目地是不讓你擴張出來,不讓你對外頭有威脅,但是他並不是去佔領你,也不像去推翻伊拉克、阿富汗原來的政府,他只想把你抑制在那裏,或者不讓你擴張威脅到別人,所以這個戰略就完全改變了,打法也改變了。」

另外,伍凡也表示,未來網路戰的情勢在提升中。他說,美國已經擺明瞭,發動網路戰就是發動戰爭,美國現在開始對中共、伊朗和俄國的網路駭客行動,進行全面的反擊。

New layout of US defense strategy focuses on Asia-Pacific

On January 5, U.S. President Barack Obama announced a

new defense plan cutting defense spending up to $500 billion.

It is noteworthy that, in the pattern of U.S. military strategic

adjustment, the Asia-Pacific region becomes the focus.

Meanwhile, the White House does not deny the report targets

the Army of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).

On January 5, Obama held a news conference at the Pentagon

and announced the latest strategic assessment.

He is planning to cut defense spending by at least $487 billion

within the next decade.

Obama said that after 10 years of war, the U.S. military is in a

transition period.

The current economic situation forces him to cut defense costs

reducing ground forces and the military presence in Europe.

However, Obama said that the U.S. will continue to maintain

military superiority, whilst shifting military focus.

The U.S. will concentrate on the Middle East and Asia Pacific.

Obama: "We will be strengthening our presence in the Asia

Pacific and budget reductions will not come at the expense of

that critical region. ... ... We will stay vigilant.

Especially in the Middle East."

Also present at the press conference were the U.S. Secretary

of Defense Panetta.

Who was joined by Joint Chiefs of Staff Chairman Gen.

Martin Dempsey.

Panetta announced that the number of U.S. military will

downsize to 490 thousand in the next decade.

He also said that after defense budget cuts, the U.S. military

will further strengthen special operations and missile defense.

Also increasing network warfare capacity to avoid "large-scale

long time" military actions such as Afghanistan and Iraq wars.

It is understood Panetta will postpone the purchase of U.S.'s

most expensive weapons program, stealth fighter F35.

However he will not reduce the establishment of the eleven U.S.

aircraft carrier battle group.

When White House spokesman Carney was asked that day

whether this report is targeting China, he didn't deny it.

NTDTV commentator Chen Zhifei: "In fact, after the APEC

meeting, the U.S. decided to return to the Asia-Pacific region.

Following this, the U.S. media all believe that the spearhead of

these actions is targeting the CCP.

Again the U.S. shows it by making a formal policy adjustment

indicating this initiative of checking and balancing the

totalitarian CCP from the Asia-Pacific has become new U.S.

diplomatic and strategic policies. "

As well as Asia-Pacific, Obama said that U.S. military will not

reduce its presence in the Middle East, still remaining vigilant.

Panetta also said the U.S. will strengthen cooperation with its

allies in the Middle East to counter aggressive behavior.

It is generally believed that this targets Iran.

Political commentator Wu Fan analyzed that there are two key

points in the new U.S. defense program.

Wu Fan: "One is the South China Sea; the other is the Strait of

Hormuz of Arabian Gulf. Why are these two important?

It is related to the path of global energy.

Oil from the Middle East, Central Asia will arrive at the first

gate, namely, the Arab Gulf Strait Hormuz.

When being sent to the Far East, it has to go through the South

China Sea.

Both regions are controlled and affected by China and Iran.

So the U.S. put its navy and air forces in these areas."

Wu Fan said U.S. strategy in the next decade will target CCP

and Iran but not like wars fought in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Wu Fan: "He will not fight the ground battle. He doesn't want

to fight in the same way as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

He will use navy and air forces to destroy your base with the

goal of containing you so you are no threat to the outside world.

However, he will not occupy you. Neither will he overthrow

the old governments like Iraq and Afghanistan.

He just wants to restrain you there; make sure you are no threat.

The strategy and style of fight has completely changed."

In addition, Wu Fan also said the situation of future network

warfare is escalating.

He said the U.S. has made it clear that network warfare is

a war.

Against hacker network operations in CCP, Iran and Russia,

the U.S. now begins to conduct a comprehensive response.
