To me ------ I suspect that there's great similarities between China and a powerful male teenager

Imagine being a controlling parent of a young boy -- you control him for most of his life - then, about the 10 year mark ------------- you let the controls off and allow him power -

he grows - and, he grows massively - then, when he's right in the teenage years - big, strong and possibly even flexing muscles -

you try and take the power back ----------

what's the likely situation????????????????

not pretty!!

That's exactly and precisely what the Americans have done to China

they have had as an official policy since 1950 (apx) a 'Contain China' policy (ref. Pentagon papers and McNamara's report)

that included going to war in Vietnam - totally unjustified -

then - between 1 and 2 decades back - the USA got the really really really bright idea that they could make more profit if they shipped off their labour costs to Asia - namely - China ---------- what a good idea

Of course - China ran with it - China became massively wealthy - massive economic growth - and, as is natural for a developing nation who is getting a huge economy - they put money into military and other development - no news there

surprise surprise --------------- the Americans woke up one morning and said - 'gosh - look at that' ---------

so - they then decided to take away the growing power ----------- pivot to Asia

now --------------- what they hell did they expect??????

the big teenager to sit there quietly and say --------- yeah, ok???

or should they have expected resistance -- resistance to someone whose business it has actually never been in the first place -

an interfering busybody from across the ocean?

the problem for America - and, for Ozzies - because we're mates with America is

the Chinese teenager is too big, too strong to now contain

if you want to use aggression - if you throw a punch - the kid is well able to put you on the floor -

so, not smart ---------------- far better to make friends and show respect for the boy that you helped form - or else -

if you go to war - you'll get the same result you got in Asia last time - and, this time

it'll be a whole lot harder and more painful

Well put.

Every nation that wants full policy independence from the US knows the cost and knows that they have to defend themselves to the last if they wish to maintain it. They only need to look at the smoking wreckage left of nations like Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan, Vietnam.

The US sends a clear message that failure to defend results in total annihilation. Most nations simply acquiesce and allow the US to control their assets how it suits them.
