Yeah I know; this is why I’m thankful the Constitution we have makes our military subordinate and publicly apolitical.
Thing is, that the Chinese are almost satanically clever and will use bio-warfare and chemical warfare if possible.
There has to be some way to create a triple alliance with Japan and China, with the US in the center of it all. It would be a perfect way of making the US powerful while at the same time, at least publicly binding the Chinese and Japanese to a peaceful accord.
I doubt anyone, with the exception of God, Is capable of joining Japan and China together within an alliance. The hated between them runs deeeep.

No this doesn’t cut it. Why would there be a triple alliance. who would the USA china and japan ally against. russia? korea? australia? india?
No. China is confronting all the countries on its periphery. even the russians are uneasy.
the most dangerous place is the south china sea where there are overlapping territorial claims. these issues have become urgent as the chinese look for more energy resources for their population. its believed that there is a lot of oil/gas in the south china sea. the problem could be more peacefully solved if energy could be got from other sources easily...like thorium lftr reactors or natural gas on china’s mainland. (china is said to have the largest deposits of natural gas in the world—mostly in their norther provinces.)
On one hand you say they are satanically clever and will use WMD against us, then you say we need to ally with them?
we already have several very strong alliances in the Pacific to ensure the freedom of commerce and safety on the Sea. One is our involvement in the ASEAN alliance, another is our individual alliances with Japan, South Korea, and Australia.
India is also rising and modernizing their fleet and increasing its size because of their own concerns about China. We are making more and more overtures to them and what is really needed is an alliance of the representative governments in the Western and Southern Pacific to include India. In essesnce we already do...but it should be an entire alliance of all of us together. The US, Japan, India, South Korea, Australia, the Philippines and Singapore. Those nations together are capable of outstripping anything China can do...particularly if we ourselves stop feeding China’s maw.
