#1 Again, [OWG Co-Superpower = Mahanist?] CHINA = has to decide what are its geopol priorities right now, + whether its should amend or delay its national + geopol ambitions vee the USA + mostly pro-US "First Island Chain", + knowing also that delay will likely mean the US' Allies in East Asia will become that much more MilEconPol stronger agz China over time.

That being said, I still hold that China will likely prefer to deter or prevent any direct US Intervention in China-vs-ASEAN military conflict ASAP AMAP ALAP. CHINA WILL TRY TO KEEP ANY WAR AGZ US ALLIES "LIMITED" + QUICK + DECISIVE IN ITS FAVOR + WID MINIMAL OR NO DIRECT US INTERVENTION AGZ CHINA'S EFFORTS.

* CHINA'S ACE = IRAN'S ACE = PUTINIST RUSSIA'S ACE = THE US HAVING AN ANTI-US US OWG GLOBALIST POTUS IN THE WHITE HOUSE + AS #1 ON THE US NATIONAL COMMAND AUTHORITY RESPONSIBLE FOR AMERIKA'S DIRECT MILITARY RESPONSE, OR LACK OF SAME.

DITTO AS PER ANY POST-JAN. 2017 GLOBALIST POTUS SUCCESSOR9S) TO OBAMA 2017-2025.

#2 Is it just me, or America's current rulers are a bit confused---just because their internal enemies are pushovers, they assume external are as well?

#3 grom - they dont believe they have external enemies - in many ways, that is who they are working for (Iran by Obama and China by the Congress who has been bought off)
