I am glad they are there though the only country that matters is the USA and we apparently have pulled out because the Chinese made threats. USA is becoming a force that is dissipating fast. Our military is being purged from top to bottom of dissident viewpoints(those not in line with the current CP leadership) which is removing some of the southern boys who have been the backbone of the military, and demoralizing the rest. The Chinese Communists apparently have a pretty solid foothold in our universities and in our government. I think we have to rely on the Communist Dynasty in China losing the Mandate of Heaven and collapsing within to avoid becoming another tributary to the Middle Kingdom.

Well, there is an American F-35 squadron on a British carrier defended by British destroyers, and 1 American destroyer acting as AirDefense.

All we need is a Dutch gunboat and an Australian supply vessel and we can resurrect the old ABDA fleet grouping and go looking for the Japanese invasion fleet rumored to be lurking off the Kra Peninsula.
