Awhile back I came across a web site that suggested that SE Asia will be contested by China and Japan.
I’m not so sure it is cost effective to use violence to acquire resources and territory anymore. A point I often make. Nukes. Insurgent proxy wars. China may not have figured it out yet. Most of their neighbors are nervous. They are a potent force, but they have antagonized a lot of people.
Wars of aggression are problematic these days, though.
That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
