Submission statement: The US is looking to move resources away from Europe and Middle East towards Latin America and East Asia. Latin America due to the reemergence of the Monroe Doctrine. East Asia due to a rising China. The move away from Europe towards East Asia has been in the making since Obama, at least.
Maybe I’m crazy, but we need diplomacy in the western hemisphere and substantial military presences (with diplomacy) in east Asia and Europe and the Middle East (tho Israel can be a proxy for US interests there to a great extent, if folks would be open to it).
But thinking you can ignore Europe (or even Iran) while “pivoting” to east Asia makes no sense. China, North Korea, Iran, Russia all have alliances and Russia is essentially a vassal state of China these days (meaning if you’re deterring China in one place you need to in the other).
I just don’t get it. Ok, America cannot be the world’s policeman in the current global situation, and more military spending by European nations is important, but there is a middle ground between ignoring Europe and lighting a fire under their ass. All the while, the military adventures in South America is idiotic and a distraction from the major geopolitical issues, from my perspective, when you have one hot war raging in Europe, half of a hot war always waging in the Middle East, and always the potential of the biggest hot war kicking off with China and Taiwan.
