" Economy means nothing when it comes to geopolitics."I don't know what you mean by "the Center of Gravity".
"all the ancient Chinese texts like Sun Tzu and modern texts like Carl von Clausewitz" are just some books written by some people with their views. They are not absolute laws of this universe.
You keep saying economy. You're too preoccupied with economy. No, economy is not a power. Economy means nothing when it comes to geopolitics. Not everything is about economy. Stop talking about economy. Supply chains and economic relations are irrelevant.
"To suggest that America and Korea will work against Chinese and Korean interests, meaning Korea will work against itself, that is pure propaganda."
No, just because Korea makes big money out of China doesn't mean attacking China is against its interests. Economy is just economy, nothing more. Not everyone is looking at only economic interests. Again, you're too economic-minded.
"Now, these new subs from Australia, does nothing."
I don't have a word for someone who says subs do nothing. Just you're out of reality.
No, you didn't read what I wrote. I wasn't talking about what the US has done. It's about what they will do in the near future.
Lol shows how little you actually know about warfare and the important relationship it has with economics/economy. Question: What was the rationale of then Imperial Japan for invading China? Was it for simply trying to show their giant neighbor who's the boss and just want to kill a bazillion Chinese just because?
As for the nuclear subs the kangaroos are getting, they are not going to materialize for the next 20 f.. Ng years and by then how many Nuclear Subs do you think China would have? It'll be more than the 8 subs Australians are getting and that's for certain. Without Australia holding to their economy being relatively prosperous how the heck do you think they are going to continue to afford to spend 2.1% of their GDP (1.3 Trillion, rank 13th in the world) 16 Billion of which are being spent on their Navy to continue?
Another question, do you think that if the U.S. or say China for example remained as impoverished and economically isolated pre-1978 would this recent moves and U.S. trepidations, actions against China and the China threat theory would have come to the fore? Would the U.S. able to maintain their gargantuan military budget and bases around the world without their economy being the biggest in the world for decades? You can't separate economy from warfare and geopolitics they all intertwined.
