There was one problem Japan faced with their powerful military and hegemonic agenda. Japan did not have the natural resources to maintain a military in the event a nation with natural resources challenged the expansion of the Japanese Asian grip.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Japan was fully aware their expansionism would collide with the National Interests of America eventually. Preparation was needed for this confrontation. The only logical solution for a nation with the hubris of go-it-alone self-determination was to prepare tactical scenarios to weaken or strike fear in the American government to try to mold a revision of the American National Interests in the Pacific and Asian economies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Oil has empowered the Islamist dream of a global Muslim spread of their religion in the style of the glory days of using the sword and fear exampled by their prophet Mohammed. Without oil the Middle East would still be a third rate collection of clannish dominated nations with Islam confined. Industrially or Economic powerhouses would have zero interest in camel jockey land and Muslim Middle Easterners would probably have no interests outside of regional clannish/national interests of petty squabbling.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Present day Russia and the former Soviet Union had their own political agenda of spreading repressive Communism (really Russian hegemony in the name of Communism). China was somewhat under the Russian orbit of Communism but fiercely independent and weaker than Russia and America industrially.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Russia by no means the Super Power of the USSR days, but still powerful enough to have hegemonic designs in their immediate region.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

There is political polarization on defining the direction of those freedoms; nonetheless on both sides of the polls the essence of the Constitution is sacrosanct.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

I believe Russia will eventually lose most of the tenets of Democracy to go back to what it knows best on how to govern their people; i.e. a combination of benevolence and the stick to inspire Russian Patriotism and Pride from the State. This means Russia will again challenge Europeans and America with their own hegemonic goals (at least regionally).&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The Third World struggles to instill Democracy while battling the evils of political and/or criminal corruption or they are just plain dominated by a strong man with some kind of military support to remain in power until a revolution or assassination replaces one strong man for another.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;MPH 2B Damase&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Why? The reason is the globe is still ruled by Nations – some good and some bad (and flowing to downright evil). Their ideologies clash forming diverging National Interests according to the ideology. When the National Interests clash it boils down to one mitigating factor in this day and age – oil and how to attain it economically.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

God forbid if China wins, then the Middle East would truly understand the brutality of an atheistic nation.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mohammedans have their eye on Israel, USA and the West; however it is the largest persecutor of all religions that makes torture done by Mohammedans look like a picnic. Under Mao tse Tung (or which ever way you choose to write his name), China slaughtered over 35 MILLION people to re-educate and eradicate religion. A program still continued to this day against all religions and particularly focused on Christians, Buddhists (Tibet) and Mohammedans.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you are a Mohammedan, you are a dumb ass to think China will not slaughter Mohammedans if they win such a confrontation with America. If you are a Communist, you are a dumb ass for supporting such a murderous government.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In fact &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;strong style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; COLOR: maroon; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Expletive Deleted&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://econ161.berkeley.edu/TCEH/Slouch_power4.html&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: maroon; TEXT-DECORATION: none; text-underline: none&quot;&gt;look at list of genocides and note that America is not even on the list&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 14pt; FONT-FAMILY: &amp;#39;Expletive Deleted&amp;#39;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: #000080&quot;&gt;; however the rogue governments of the Middle East main suppliers of weapons are number one and two.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Oil is indeed an economic weapon used as an excuse for National Interests of Super Powers and imposing global intolerance by third rate Mohammedan nations that have oil under their ground.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You know the third rate power nations will not win an oil war. You had better hope America wins if such a war arises. We re-build those we defeat, not slaughter them.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Who did you say was blood thirsty for Oil?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The byline implies that the long standing foes and competitors in Asia are embarking on some kind of rapprochement. However as you read through the analysis it appears to be paragraph after paragraph of what ifs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: navy; FONT-FAMILY: Activa&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size: medium&quot;&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The enigma is will China continue to get involved with nations in India’s sphere of influence and sphere of turbulence or will India overlook that continuing Chinese excursions and seek to strengthen each other by cooperation in boosting each others economies.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Bush not too long ago reached out to India to forge bilateral cooperation in the nuclear realm probably to coax a partner with India’s hated enemies of Mohammedan nations. It is like Bush is trying to find a back-up if the Musharraf regime collapses to radical Islam. A radicalized Pakistan which is already the natural enemy of India would increase the hostility between the two nations.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

If Pakistan collapses my bet is China will prop up an Islamist revolutionary Pakistan government to cause more headaches for America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The kind of uranium being enriched in Iran is weapons grade and that is confirmed. If America acquiesces to Iran becoming a nuclear power in the Middle East then nations that can afford to do so will be forced to seek nuclear WMD to counter Iran’s hegemonic designs. The two nations I have in mind are Wahhabi dominated Saudi Arabia and Muslim Brotherhood infiltrated Egypt.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Middle Eastern nuclear proliferation will be dangerous because Mohammedans are crazy suicidal and the old &lt;em style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal&quot;&gt;Mutually Assured Destruction&lt;/em&gt; (MAD) doctrine will not faze them. The MAD doctrine was the code that definite enemies America led NATO versus the Soviet Block (and emerging Red China) lived by in order not to launch nuclear attacks.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Thus both sides are obliterated in a thermonuclear holocaust. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Unfortunately the irony of ironies is occurring in the Indian Parliament. The Left block (Marxist/Communist associated Parties) which make up part of the ruling Parliamentary coalition of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh are working to strike down the deal. That is an irony because the Left in America tentatively seems to have signed on to the deal. The reason: traditional Marxist aversion to a Capitalist America as a global hegemon and the Marxist Indian’s fear of America manipulating India’s foreign policy.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

A new guard of Indian politicians needs to assert themselves because on paper it would seem an America/India partnership would benefit both nations in National Security and the economics of prosperity as a counter weight to Chinese ambitions to be a global military and economic hegemon at India’s expense.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Iraq was bumped from that list.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I guess the next Axis of Evil would be Syria, Iran and North Korea. All three are rogue nations destabilizing peace in their regions.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Now I am reading in the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://news.scotsman.com/international.cfm?id=824072007&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: #660000&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;Scotsman.com that Burma is preparing to join the Axis of evil club&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: #000066&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;FONT-SIZE: 1.25em&quot;&gt;. Burma is already a rogue nation with a horrible human rights record. The nation is ruled by a military junta Dictatorship.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Apparently Burma is rich in natural resources and is prepared to profit on those resources. Who is paying for the natural resources? China, Russia and India.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Russia is aiding Burma in preparation of nuclear plants. Does that sound familiar?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;China is buying oil and setting up naval bases on Burmese islands. This is part of the Chinese military strategy known as the “String of Pearls.” This is a reference to China’s growing military that is ever increasing Asian hegemonic power.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;India is not happy with China’s emerging military via a nuclear navy in the Bay of Bengal.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;India is competing for oil and gas exports from Burma by selling military arms. India is loosing that wooing game because Burma is allowing China into the Bay of Bengal and Russia is fulfilling a nuclear aspiration. This means India has a nuclear competitor in Pakistan and China and potentially Burma and Iran. India is being surrounded. India has been in Russia’s orbit for years. I am thinking this nuclear power encircling of India may force India to become a full partner of America.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Scotsman.com reports one other tidbit about Burma wanting into the Axis of Evil club. Burma has normalized relations with North Korea: The bad boy that relies on China and threatens South Korea, Japan and America.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;COLOR: #000066&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;    &lt;p style=&quot;clear:both;&quot;&gt;

My estimation is that China is a viable competitor to global American hegemony. The part I am not certain about is Chinese intentions.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

The importance of this question is the global economy. A Chinese/American clash could spiral the global economy into a depression, particularly in America. The utilization of friendly competition in markets could be a huge enrichment for both America and China.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
