  1. @Finn Hansen um china has a lot of ships. The US has what the most advanced fleet of naval toys ever to float on the high seas. By their own admission the chinese are hemmed in, the americans can get at them via multiple routes or ask the Japanese to get a go at it. Remember history, China is still an energy importer and an exprt driven economy with a fleeting consumption boom that wont last courtesy of one-child policy(demographic collapse)

  2. But everything from vaccination to the internet, to a developed Europe to a wealthy World as it exists today is a direct result of US's cold era policies. The "World" sounds like be an ungrateful brat, without which the US can get by (ongoing localisation trade networks, independant energy markets and single larg3st to consumer market ob the damn planet. )

  3. Last time there was no global police the Japanese took that as a challange. The economic prosperity of the the entirety of the east asian rim including the prosperous asean nations is the direct result of US foreign policy for prioritising security over trade. The sheer arrogance with which people belive that the peace everybody experiences is despite US global involvement will come undone once when they leave. You wont know how valuable an eye is until you loose it.if there is no security guarantor the Chinese will treat SEA as it sees fit. And US action in the region has been much more benovolent than the great powers that preceded it. Learn your history or better yet stop inflicting misguided opinions on others.
