[QUOTE="catstalking, post: 6031904, member: 50268"] Belt & Road is a stupid plan that is going to blow up in their faces one day because it doesn't work if you don't have a Navy that can enforce it, and they don't and probably never will; if they can somehow fight their way out of the South China Sea past the USN the idea they'll control big chunks of random parts of the world because some piece of paper says they do is INSANE; this is the old imperial playbook, but it only works when you can project power, and they can't i wouldn't call India an alliance, India is kind of a political parasite that enjoys the attention but really can't pay anything back because their society is corrupt and dysfunctional to the core Influence on countries we don't need and never should have had We've had a mostly trash foreign policy since 1914 but we went into stupidity overdrive during the Cold War it's slowly resetting to the mean as we've trashed our own finances to pay for a whole lot of........nothing on the international stage look at all the trillions we've spent for this "foreign influence" and the moment we show weakness, it starts to vanish; what lesson does that tell you? George Washington was 100% right in his parting address and none of what he said has changed in principle since then [/QUOTE]
