So much going on in this piece; too much to address all of it. I can only say I am not optimistic about the US. The cackling gargoyle could well be our next president -even more than Obama a mere front for ruthless and cunning plutocrats. And the US military has for years been dominated by careerists and yes-men.
"The United States as of this writing has no aircraft carriers in the Pacific Ocean... Is this part of China’s plan to empty the Pacific of the US Navy so it can move more easily on the Philippines, Taiwan and the rest of the region?"
Scary as hell question.
US presidents have claimed to be in charge of creating jobs, ending illegal drug use, controlling inflation, instituting societal equality, and on an on. The president's real job is to be commander in chief and in charge of international affairs, and he is literally on the beach wandering around purposelessly in a fog of dementia.
