The US has reached that goal more than half a century ago, and for the
sake of its defence contractors is jealously guarding that
attainment. That's one reason why the Korean War has technically not
ended, which has allowed the US the self-made excuse to station troops
on the wrong side of the Pacific. Until recently, the US military
commander (disguised as the UN military commander) controlled the
entire South Korean military, save for commando and parachute units.
Okinawans are sick and tired of playing captive host to the US
military, but they have no real say in their own home. In the middle
of the Indian Ocean, the perfidious British handed over the island of
Diego Garcia to the US, which then promptly evicted the entire
population of over 2,000 to build huge military bases.

South Koreans, Okinawans, the islanders of Diego Garcia and many
others have less say in their own countries than US defence
contractors. Yes, they're paying heavily as "hosts".

Can you blame them? Just look what we are doing to them?

"... “when we’re strong enough.” “We must make them hurt,” said Major-
General Yang Yi, referring to the United States.'"

That is exactly what I am afraid of. We are heading toward a
confrontation, NOT the next 10 years, but around 2040.

Relationship between the U.S. and China will get very difficult
starting from 2030 on, and a major confrontation around 2040.

I will be long gone, so it's none of my business.

I am going to ignore your silly questions, because my logic is
impeccable (pun intended).

Your original question was silly.

Apart from the USA who is bothered by China's rise,
no one else is worried. They have nothing to worry about.
