If only there had been some kind of trade agreement with a lot of pacific nations that would have given the US a lot more clout with other countries in the region and maybe a common front for some of the real problems that are out there - as opposed to the ones that exist purely in Trump's mind.
(TPP)

The problem with the TPP was that it also snuck in too many distasteful things along with the useful policies.
However, China has been playing behind the US back for too long. Tech espionage, hacking, trade to a certain extent as well. China is not a developing economy as most think. It is already a superpower.
This is actually pre-emptive war. No weapons, but at some point the US had to act while the odds were still in its favor.
IF you played Civilization, any strategy game - then you know what I am talking about (or history books).
>> Loans - But China has tons us US debt!?!?
-Yes they do - do you know the best part about an IOU? you guessed it I - O - U. its paper debt. So better not upset me.
-Both nations are interlocked in a dance. US spends China Makes. But China also has stolen tons of tech. Nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles. Hacking.
-Talk to anyone in the armed forces. The sentiment is bad. There is more going on in the background than we all know.
-Talk to anyone over beers in the armed forces. They will say its long over do.
What do I think? who cares what I think.
cheers.
