In the medium to long term, Trump has handed the Middle East to China. Consider China knows exactly where every military target is using their satellite technology, and they have provided this information to Iran. Look at how Chinese targeting systems have performed with stunning accuracy. China has far superior missiles. i personally think the Chinese has surpassed america as a military force. My reasoning? americas military is a giant pension fund, that also has an army. Most of its budget is spent on retired soldiers. America, has the wrong type of military equipment. The defense industry has lobbied, politicians to order expensive equipment that is useless for a conventional war, for the sake of profit. Massive billion dollar american warships had to run away from the action, due to the threat from $30k ballistics. Useless billion dollar defense systems that were destroyed with a week of action. Look at the US military action reels. Have you noticed, that you are usually watching a $4million cruise missile blowing up a $15k truck? It's clear that the americans are incompetent. In a direct match up, China would win. Add to that, the Chinese foreign policy gives autonomy the nations they deal with, China is a far more attractive partner. And finally, China has a superior economy. Strip out the financial sector, China's economy dwarfs that of america. Within 20 years, the Yuan will be the worlds reserve currency (and control international finance), and america will have the same influence as Greece. The Polish Netanyahu has doomed the existence of Israel. Without america as a world power, it's neighbors will decimate it.
