It will not be pleasant for us if those communist bastards dominate Asia.
Then let the Asians deal with China and prevent them from dominating them. They can do it without us.
You are thinking defensively.
All the U.S. needs to do is get the monkey of socialism off its back. Then it can easily afford the military capacity to defend Asia and contain China.
The benefit to the U.S., and the entire world, is free trade.
Highly unlikely. Japan and South Korea would be the only countries that wouldn’t topple like dominos, but even they would fall eventually, even if you discount nuclear weapons. Can’t see Burma or Thailand putting up much of a fight. China has the largest standing army in the world. Not to mention they essentially have control of the fourth largest standing army, the Norks. Send those bullet-bags into the South to soften them before dealing the death blow.
I have predicted financial ruin on the horizon, being in the same camp as many economists dismissed as doomsday prophets. Once the West is
A) Weak militarily
B) Too poor to buy all those Chinese goods
Then its back to the old fashioned methods of resource procurement, except unlike in the past, this time China is the most powerful Asian nation.
