I am talking strictly in a military sense and not whether it will happen and what not, I'll save that for another thread when I have time.
Anyways, America is looking to position massive troops and fleets to the Asia Pacific region, now this to me is a stupid move.
Consider the fact the power and effectiveness as well as number of US military doesn't change with it's positioning and all it would do is shorten the distance. IT also doesn't stop Chinese trade, Chinese military spending or Chinese military advancement. If anything it helps the Chinese military.
So it doesn't weaken China in any way.
Now, this would seem smart, IF China doesn't have one of the world's largest missile force, and navies as well as air force. China won't be able to defeat America in neutral ground at this moment. But with a surprise attack like Pearl harbor, China can, I won't say easily, but could destroy the bulk of the forces stationed in the region.
If reports are to be believed that around 60% of naval forces as well as 100,000 of the best troops are to be deployed, that means we would cripple the US navy, and destroy their armies at the same time.
To me, the best move is for US to position a small, but effective force, intended as either instructors or what not to the region's military and that's it. This way, it would be difficult for China to get to the armed forces and would give US the initiative in where to Strike and how.
It may also give the US time if their allies can survive long enough to wait for US reinforcement. I know the US can strike anywhere globally quickly, but China isn't Africa and any attack needs to be huge and needs some time to plan and execute.
The only reason I could see is that the US doing this is the US wants to strike first, otherwise, the US just sent their best troops within the range of our missiles.
