Great peroration. My only comment is that the US is unable to confront China on its own and bringing England and Australia on as support staff won't help any.
You know, you may well have your finger on it, Feral Finster. However--the big however--at the horizon, the cynicism and defense of status quo that you posit is surely an inept, not to say stupid reading of history and the forces atr work in the world. One can be as clever as one pleases in the causes of one's strategy, but if the strategy is ultimately a misreading, one is inept: A thought here? Thanks the comment. Patrick L.

Agreed, my dear Harrison. "Support staff" an excellent way to put it. See Pt 1 of the series if you have not already. Fond best. Patrick
I would suggest less "ineptitude" and more "cynicism and status quo intertia".

Great overview and an enjoyable read. Thanks.
