''The real winner of the Daiaoyu/Senkaku tensions of the past few
weeks is of course Washington. It utilized the developing tide of
nationalism in Japan to get away with the deployment of the
anti-ballistic missile defence system [BMD] on Japanese soil. It’s a
first-class scoop. With this, the US’ BMD arc around Russia is further tightening.
The BMD deployment in Japan is supposedly against North Korea’s missiles, while Russian commentators insist it is against China,
but in reality, it is part of the US’ global strategy to establish
nuclear superiority, which entails deflating Russia’s assertions of
keeping a global strategic balance with the US despite its loss of
superpower status. ''
