could substantially affect U.S. strategic, political, and economic interests in the Indo-Pacific region and elsewhere.

What interests? Spending tens of billions we don't have to defend other nations while leaving ours undefended? Keeping trading routes "safe" to import trillions more in cheap goods while our factories remain idle? I never voted for these "interests," yet both parties wholeheartedly support them. F-k that. China wants to dominate the South China Sea. Let 'em. How about we go back to dominating things in our Hemisphere, crushing tyrants, sealing the borders, deporting illegals, and keeping China out of South and Central America? And putting up walls of tariffs so we can start building things again.
