The US skillfully deflects international scrutiny by leveraging Japan’s press conference, leaving foreign media stunned. A Russian journalist boldly questions the US troop deployment to Antarctica, directly challenging the Antarctic Treaty. The spokesperson, seemingly unbothered, calls on the Russian reporter first, setting the stage for a dramatic confrontation.
Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7468
At a press conference in Japan, silence remained even after three bows.
Of course, the silence was mainly because there was no one inside except the spokesperson at the press conference.
However, the press conference at the White House was already filled with cheers and shouts of joy.
The cheers came almost entirely from the American media. Given the enormous and negative impact of this event, the American media was understandably embarrassed.
However, Japan’s recent press conference has shouldered most of the responsibility, which means that the enormous social and international pressure faced by the United States has been reduced by 90% in an instant.
The foreign media waiting to witness the performance were the ones in shock and awe.
Everyone wanted to see how the American spokesperson would deny and twist the truth when faced with a barrage of questions, but no one expected them to use such a clever trick.
Looking at the spokesperson’s expression now, he was already smiling like a winner.
Amidst the audience’s gasps of admiration, he stepped to the podium and, with a professional smile, began: “I believe everyone has clearly seen the press conference held by the Japanese side, and you should all have a good understanding of the specific situation.”
“Now, we’ll move on to the press conference segment. Since the Japanese spokesperson has explained everything so clearly, we’ll skip the press conference segment and go straight to the question-and-answer session.”
The reporters present in the room all raised their hands.
The spokesman glanced around and deliberately singled out a Russian journalist, saying, “Please ask a question, RIA Novosti reporter.”
The Russian journalist never really thought something like that would happen to him.
In general, when holding live press conferences, the question and answer session is usually kept away from media from countries that have animosity towards them, to avoid these journalists openly attacking them without respecting them.
Even if it is sometimes necessary to call on one or two journalists to ask questions, it is usually placed at the end of the session, and the time allocated is very short, so attention is certainly not high.
However, the highlight of the evening was that they gave first place in the Q&A session to a Russian journalist; this was simply outrageous.
Amidst the shock and joy, the Russian journalist quickly composed himself and, with microphone in hand, asked, “Madam Speaker, if I remember correctly, the Antarctic Treaty stipulates that no country may send troops to Antarctica for any reason.”
“Although the Japanese spokesperson just explained the specific situation, I don’t think this is a reasonable reason for the United States to send troops to Antarctica.”
“Couldn’t two countries collude and stage such a charade to openly send troops to Antarctica?”
“Moreover, this matter should first be reported to the United Nations, and then the UN can decide whether a particular country or the UN should send joint forces to resolve it.”
“But the United States and Japan ignored the UN and unilaterally decided to secretly send troops. Isn’t this a very bad move?”
The Russian journalist felt that his question was very strong, and the other party had no direct reason to refute it, because whatever happened between them was their own business, and Russia’s military intervention in Antarctica was wrong.
