United States has been alone in the world for many years, and finally it has come to the day when it will go downhill, although United States is trying to maintain United States hegemony, but it is clear that the advantages of United States are shrinking, and in this context, United States is not as strong as before, and it seems to be becoming more and more "conservative" internally.
Not long ago, two more eye-catching news came from the United States, or once again exposed the embarrassment of United States.
First, the United States finally announced the cause of the "Osprey" transport plane crashing into the sea.
According to overseas network reports, on August 2, the United States Air Force released a crash report, pointing out that in the 2023 "Osprey" transport plane crash, the pilot had improper operation problems, and the pilot had obviously received an alarm indicating a failure, but still insisted on continuing to fly. The U.S. Air Force judged that the pilots had problems judging the situation in the incident, and the pilots may also have been distracted by other missions.
It is reported that in November 2023, a "Osprey" transport plane of the US military stationed in Japan crashed into the sea near Yakushima, Kagoshima, Japan, and none of the eight people on board survived. Due to the frequent accidents of the "Osprey" transport plane before, this time the people of Okinawa in Japan increasingly questioned the existence of potential safety hazards of the "Osprey" transport plane, demanded the grounding of the "Osprey" transport plane, and even opposed the joint military exercise between Japan and the United States.
It is particularly noteworthy that the Japanese people did not quickly forget the "Osprey" transport plane accident, but insisted on protesting against the US military's deployment of the "Osprey" transport plane there. On 22 July this year, the people of Yamaguchi Prefecture in Japan held a rally to strongly oppose the deployment of the "Osprey" transport plane by the US military, and 11 local councillors of Japan even submitted a petition to the local branch of the Ministry of Defense of Japan, demanding that the United States and Japan withdraw this deployment plan.
In the face of pressure from Japan, United States reluctantly released the investigation report on the crash of the Osprey" transport plane into the sea.
According to the report, an important cause of the crash was the improper operation of the pilots themselves. In other words, if the quality of pilots is improved, this tragedy is not impossible to avoid. However, the quality of the "Osprey" transport aircraft itself is only afraid and difficult to deny. The report pointed out that the internal gear of the left gearbox of the aircraft involved at that time was broken, so that the power could not be transmitted to the rotor, but the root cause of the broken gear could not be determined.
As a result, the results of the United States investigation may not be able to dispel Japan's misgivings.
In addition, it is not difficult to see that the US military, which has always been "arrogant and domineering" in Japan, may not be able to completely "do whatever it wants," and United States also needs to be concerned about the attitude of Japan. And as United States continues to decline, the situation of the US military in Japan is afraid that it will also deteriorate, after all, Japan now dares to arrest US troops.
Second, the United States began legislation to enforce the purchase of United States-made United States flags.
According to a report by overseas network on August 2, just this week, United States President Joe Biden signed a bill requiring the United States federal government to purchase only 100% United States made flags. Prior to this, the United States required that the United States flag procured by the federal government contained at least 50% of United States made materials.
It is reported that in recent years, Democrats have been promoting the "United States flag United States" bill, until last November, when the bill was finally passed in the Senate of Congress, and in July this year, the bill was passed in the House of Representatives. Next, the United States government will only be able to purchase flags made entirely from United States materials and produced entirely in the United States.
After the passage of the bill, the United States can only save millions of dollars in flag import fees, which is worth noting the signal sent by the United States bill.
With the intensification of the hollowing out of the United States industry, the United States and the two parties seem to have reached a consensus on the revitalization of United States local manufacturing industry, from Trump to Biden, they all intend to protect United States local manufacturing industry. Now, at the critical moment of the United States election, the Democratic Party even requires the United States flag to be completely locally manufactured, which not only reflects the Democratic Party's sense of crisis in the manufacturing industry, but also demonstrates the Democratic Party's determination to revitalize the manufacturing industry, which is quite conducive to the Democratic Party to win the support of voters in the Midwest, especially in the "Rust Belt" area.
But the problem is that both Trump and Biden's efforts to boost manufacturing have had limited effect, and Boeing, the "crown jewel of manufacturing" in United States, is becoming increasingly "dark", and whether the United States can reverse the decline in manufacturing still needs a question mark.
