Sometimes war comes to you...as it did with WWII in Czech, Poland, France, UK etc.

We need to attain Peach through Strength in the Pacific or war will come to us as well.
Chinese love to pick on the weak.
Paracell islands, Spratly’s, Mischief Reef, Subi Reef.

Right now the Philippines can’t seem to pick a side. Taiwan falling to the PLA will focus their minds. Japan already ‘gets it’. Vietnam as well. Trump can’t say it, but he might be willing to let Taiwan fall as a down-payment on creating a strong military alliance in the area. The reason he can’t say it is that it would have negative impact on every other alliance or defensive treaty.
