Zero Hedge/Epoch Times: A Prelude To War
While the Biden administration’s weakness and decline in military readiness concerning China goes unreported or under-reported in the United States, those nations most vulnerable to Chinese aggression and intimidation are aware of the rising risk of war.
When nations assess their national security status, they analyze all alliances and associations, including military, economic, etc. A critical aspect of that analysis will be the United States and its ability and willingness to fulfill its strategic security obligations.
Fading US Security Guarantees in the Region
Today, those obligations, first and foremost, involve the threats that China and its de facto proxy, North Korea, pose to the region. Every national security advisor or minister of defense in the Asia-Pacific region that relies on U.S. security guarantees must ask themselves, “Are we as secure today as we were yesterday under American security guarantees?”

WNU Editor: Everyone outside the U.S., Canada, and the EU is seeing what I am seeing. A decline in US influence, commitment, diplomacy, and the ability to quickly respond to a crisis.
Last week's brokered deal by China between Iran and Saudi Arabia is a case in point. In the past the US would be centered stage in such a deal. No more now.
In the case of Asia. When America's allies look at the US they see a lot of rhetoric, but very little if any follow-up. That is why every U.S. ally in Asia is scrambling right now to boost their defense budgets. They are also shoring up their military and political alliances. They know the US is now limited on what it can do, and in the face of a more assertive and aggressive China, everyone is now responding to this new geopolitical environment.

Who is talking? Dimocrat president
But it gets better
It is a Manchurian Candidate Dimocrat president.
If so bad, why did Trump not to get a second term?
The US would never have tried to broker a peaceful arrangement between the Saudis and Iran. And my guess is that that arrangement is simply nice seeming but nothing much will come of it. My advice: if Iran gets nukes, the Saudis better also.
You kinda become a big massive Joke to the world stage when you elect someone like Trump as President.
And this is coming from someone who was a fan of his foreign policy! That and SOME of his domestic policies. Everything else about the man is a laughing fucken stock.
Oh, and the WNU Editor is a big fan. Even has his book!
Guess it's true what they've been saying then; Trump has been sleeping with the Russkies!
12:59 = Fred Persona (too glib to be Fred actual)
1:13 = Russian troll
Earth to Russian troll. The Saudis already have a nuke. They already have nuclear capable ballistic missiles and they have a nuke program. Unlike Sodom Hussein or Iran they do not brag about their program, talk about their program or threaten people with their program.
Please try to keep up.
