Re: Japanese Defence Minister: Helicopter & DDG "locked on" by Chinese Frigates' Ra
The US will NEVER fire at China on behalf of Japan. All this security treaties are just hot air. The cost of going to war with China is MASSIVE for the US economically and militarily. The US has never forgotten the last time it fought with China (when China was weak) in the Korean War and how the US got kicked out of North Korea once China entered the war.
Despite all of America's wars, it has never defeated a powerful military like Russia or China. Unless it can successfully defeat Russia or China in war, America will remain a barking dog that never bites when it comes to fighting big powers.
It's all well and good bombing countries like Iraq and Afghanistan that can't do damage to the US, but its a whole different league picking fights with big powers that can hurt America badly.
The cost of going to war with China is far too great for America despite security treaties. America will try to intimidate China militarily and put political pressure on China to back down, but the US military will never get into combat with the PLA.
If the Americans support Japan in a war with China, American corporations will suffer greatly as Chinese people will stop buying American brands like they did to Japanese brands. Many American corporations call China it's fastest growing market and its largest or 2nd largest market. Corporations hold massive sway in American politics.
To be frank, even Japan knows the cost of going to war with China is far too great. Just ask all the Japanese brands that rely on the Chinese market that have lost sales.
