The
number one priority for our military is to prevent invasion. So far, they have failed. The number two
priority for our military is to keep the shipping lanes open and free from
molestation.
The last
group of pirates were Somalis, but they were confronted and stopped. Now the
Somalis are part of the US invasion.
Decades
ago, Egypt tried to close the Suez Canal, but we sent the US Navy to talk them
out of it. It worked. The problem was that all the Arab oil was
shipped through this canal.
The China
problem has to do with their deciding that some Japanese islands needed some
Chinese military presence. That’s part of “keeping the shipping lanes
open”.
The
primary mission of the US military is to protect privately owned US land and
protect US shipping so that trade isn’t disrupted.
Our
global shipping lanes are in international waters, so when countries like China
set up operations outside of China, they need to give something in return and
get permission.
