Why should people in the US care about the south china sea and africa? Its not their problem. Your entire premise seems to be that the US military should be active all around the world. Why?

The US military is actively [voanews.com] challenging [voanews.com] the Chinese in South China Sea.
And US dreamed of pushing back [defenseone.com] the presence of the Chinese base in Obock.
Maybe you have to have a word with them, tell them they shouldn't.

It really looks like he might be rolling back the US MIC, starting at the very beginning... Its difficult to actually get excited after so many letdowns (basically my entire life) but wow.

I doubt anything will come of it but it is the most progress that we have seen in several decades. The fact that we are even talking about it is amazing. That key republicans and democrats are mad about the possibility makes me like the idea more.
