#2 OOOOOPPPSSS, forgot CHINESE MILITARY FORUM > [Reuters] ANALYSIS: AS CHINA SHOWCASES CARRIER, GLOBAL NAVAL BALANCE SHIFTING, towards emerging economies.

ARTIC = US in future may either no longer have the capability to project significant or decisive military power in certain strategic areas of the world; or in alternate won't be the only nation capable of doing so, ESPEC VEE GEOPOLITICAL RIVALS.
