The US sees China as the primary adversary, and I expect that Asia will be where US focus will increasingly shift.

This has been the case for almost two decades now, yet they are stuck in the Middle East and cannot leave. The US is religiously tied to Israel, and is at a stage where the entire decisionmaker class genuinely believe that what’s good for Israel is good for the US.

Good for China, bad for the Middle East. But oh well, no one can choose their fate, we [Middle Easterners] certainly didn’t choose to be cursed with Israel.
