Re: Japan And China? Will They Clash?

This is nothing less than a threat to U.S. global dominance as Japan has long sat under the umbrella of our protection. However, due to our negligence in updating and expanding our fleet, we no longer can project our influence effectively around the world. Due to our long term involvement with Iraq, Egypt, and Libya, we are not in a position to protect our allies and assets in the Pacific. China has been steadily undercutting the United States position in the region for the last few years, and are steadily becoming more aggressive. This comes at a bad time as our Muslim enemies are becoming more antagonistic at the same time. We are now facing enemies on two fronts. With Russia making a resurgence in Europe, we are now in a position where it is in the interest of most of our allies to make other arrangements and leave us encircled and isolated.
America is in steady decline. We cannot expect to always be the greatest nation. My generation (1950's) onward has had it great. Yet God and Jesus Christ have been betrayed in this nation of plenty. It may not be far off this country will be just another impoverished nation.

Sadly, I fear that you are correct.
