Asked later whether the task force would cross the Taiwan Strait on its way to its next stop in Manila, Shulz told reporters that to telegraph the ships' plans would violate operational security.

While the U.S. and other countries have sent warships through the narrow strait in recent weeks, it would be the German navy's first such passage since 2002.

Last month Germany joined the U.S.-led United Nations Command (UNC) in South Korea that helps police the heavily fortified border with North Korea and has committed to defend the South in the event of a war.

Little advice for the internet in general:

Do at least a quick search for a term before sounding all confident and smug. Makes you less prone to ultimately showing your lack of knowledge.

Try to be less condescending asshole next time, and as well less imperialist bootlicker, i of course do know this term exist, but it's as nonsensical made up imperialist shit as the borders in Africa, of which sole reason for existing is to frame imperialist interests of, let's see... a fucking "interwar" Germany, imperial Japan and USA, what a chummy company indeed. Your link even says it completely straight lmao:

Scholarship has shown that the "Indo-Pacific" concept circulated in Weimar Germany, and spread to interwar Japan. German political oceanographers envisioned an "Indo-Pacific" comprising anticolonial India and republican China, as German allies, against "Euro-America".[4] Since the late 2010s, the term "Indo-Pacific" has been increasingly used in geopolitical discourse. It has a "symbiotic link" with the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue, or "Quad", an informal grouping between Australia, Japan, India, and the United States. It has been argued that the concept may lead to a change in popular "mental maps" of how the world is understood in strategic terms.[5] According to the political scientist Amitav Acharya, the "Indo-Pacific" was a concept built by strategists.[6] The Indo-Pacific started to gain ground in international relations literature as a geopolitical challenge by the U.S. toward China.[7]

Oh and also look at the guy who coined the term:

Karl Ernst Haushofer (27 August 1869 – 10 March 1946) was a German general, professor, geographer, and diplomat. Haushofer's concept of Geopolitik influenced the ideological development of Adolf Hitler. Rudolf Hess was also a student of Haushofer, and during Hess and Hitler's incarceration by the Weimar Republic after the Beer Hall Putsch, Haushofer visited Landsberg Prison to teach and mentor both Hess and Hitler. Haushofer also coined the political use of the term Lebensraum, which Hitler also used to justify both crimes against peace and genocide.

You can't make this shit up

Just checking, are you for real or just that committed to the act online?

Y'know, that explains why you're so willing to overlook the hitlerite coinage of that term; considering who you fuckers vassal for and cosign. Y'all didn't learn shit, huh? 'Never again' was just some pithy bullshit from y'all, huh?
