On January 31st local time, a US F-16 fighter jet crashed into the sea near the west coast of South Korea, and the pilot was rescued after being ejected. It is reported that this is the second consecutive month of F-16 fighter jet crashes by the US military stationed in South Korea.
According to South Korean media, this US F-16 fighter jet crashed in the waters near Ji Island in Gunsan City, Jeollabuk do, South Korea that morning. And this is the second time in two months that a US F-16 fighter jet has crashed in South Korea. The last accident was on December 11th last year, when an American F-16 fighter jet crashed during routine training in South Korea. Looking back, in May 2023, a US F-16 fighter jet crashed during routine training in an agricultural area in southern Seoul.
Of particular note is that the crash of the US F-16 aircraft is not the entirety of the US fighter jet accident, but rather a microcosm of the accidents that occurred with US military aircraft deployed globally.
According to information publicly reported by the media, there were a total of three plane crashes in the US military in November 2023. The most serious accident occurred on November 29, 2023: a CV-22 Osprey transport plane belonging to the Yokota base of the US military stationed in Japan crashed, resulting in the death of all 8 people on board.
The frequent crash accidents that occur in the US military may only be a microcosm of their internal and external troubles and struggles caused by the fanfare of enemies on all sides, becoming a symbol of the end of a strong crossbow.
The immigration crisis in Texas has led to 26 states in the United States openly expressing opposition to the Biden administration's immigration policies. As the US election approaches, there has been a fierce conflict and conflict between the federal government and Texas over the immigration crisis. In order to crack down on illegal immigration and prevent more immigrants from entering Texas, Texas Governor Abbott set up barbed wire in the US Mexico border area and dispatched National Guard personnel to carry out military strikes. In response to Biden's tough policies, Abbott launched a series of deployments codenamed "Operation Lone Star" to engage in armed standoff with US federal law enforcement personnel.
The attack on US bases in the Middle East resulted in casualties. On the evening of the 27th local time, the United States' Tower 22 base in Jordan was attacked by drones. The Associated Press reported that this attack is the first time a US military stationed in Jordan has been attacked since the current round of the Israeli Palestinian conflict, and it is also the first time a US soldier has been killed in the attack. It can be said that this incident has attracted widespread attention from the international community, and media insiders point out that it is a strong challenge to US military hegemony.
The Yemeni Housai armed forces continue to confront the United States. On the 31st, the spokesperson for the Yemeni Housa armed forces, Sa Reya, issued a statement stating that they will continue to attack US and British warships in the Red Sea. All American and British warships involved in the "invasion" of Yemen were their targets, and at the same time, the Hussai armed forces fired missiles at the US Navy's "Gravely" destroyer sailing in the Red Sea. A small Yemeni Hussein armed group has brought shame to the United States.
However, behind the scenes, the strong support and even willingness of the United States to participate in wars such as the Russia Ukraine conflict and the Palestinian Israeli conflict have been dragging on and even increasingly showing unfavorable trends. Since last year, the situation on the Korean Peninsula has continued to deteriorate, leaving the United States in a state of embarrassment and exhausted in dealing with it.
So, from the perspective of the causes of the accident, although the reasons for the plane crash are multifaceted, the high-intensity and fast-paced combat readiness and operations of the US military, especially since the Russo Ukrainian War, have caused high tension and fatigue among US soldiers, which is the fundamental and most direct reason for their insufficient training and frequent accidents.
It has been proven that the actions of the United States, especially its unconditional support for Israel in transporting weapons, have caused widespread dissatisfaction among countries around the world, including its own country, especially Arab countries, causing the so-called lighthouse image of the United States to collapse with a loud bang. The frequent accidents of US military aircraft have sounded the alarm for the US military. If we don't look back, the United States must continue to be trapped in a dilemma, a dilemma, and even a dilemma.
