China is threatening to invade TaiwanThis thread is actually about IRAN
I referred to the SCS in a reply to gipper - that IMO, after screwing up and devastating the Middle-East for 70 years, the USA can't simply just pull out.
However the USA hasn't managed to provoke a war against China - nor to destabilize or to devastate the SCS (despite continuously giving their best), therefore the USA can pull out any time.
As for Asia or the SCS:
China hasn't attacked nor incited any war in the past 44 years !!! - why don't you check out the USA?? and where your horrendous state debt derives from?? Resulting in a Trump, begging/demanding that the European NATO members pay up for US hegemonic military spending's.
No one - not a single country in the SCS nor in Asia, has asked the USA for military assistance nor support towards China - but the USA is desperately trying to build a military alliance against China. Because the USA doesn't have the $$ anymore to maintain it's hegemonic interests against China. BTW; India, Canada and Australia are NOT even SCS countries, and WTF is some e.g. German or British navy frigate cruising around in the SCS for??
Has China hindered any merchant vessel from passing through? No NEVER.
That China is expanding it's influence and military presence at it's immediate doorsteps, aka the SCS is understood. (why according to you shouldn't they be allowed to do so)?? That the USA has sabotaged every single diplomatic/economic proposal of China, e.g. the Philippines for a joint exploration of natural resources is also a fact.
Therefore until today the Philippines aren't able to exploit natural resources to their benefit - due to a lack of financial and technical means - but order some silly aircraft from the USA and get "sponsored" to beef up their "ridiculous" Armed Forces - that even with the "active" assistance of the USA for the past 70 years isn't able to finish off piracy, and some ragtag Moro rebels and Jihadist groups !!!
Because the USA is "unable" to militarily handle these rebel ragtags?? or because they factually need them to continue hindering the Philippine government from becoming stable, and thus again maybe refusing the US to maintain military bases in the Philippines ??
The only thing Asian or SCS countries want from the USA, is your $$ and your market - nothing else.
Only the US presence in the region prevents them from carrying out that threat
In addition china is illegally claiming ownership of the entire sea in order to steal resources from its rightful owners, specifically Vietnam and the Phippines
That has resulted in violent clashes at sea between china and its neighbors
Previously china invaded Tibet and has engaged in genocide there
So your image of the peaceful, cuddly Panda Bear does not fit reality
