>pulling away from China because they're not really a threat to anything but taiwan
Many posters here seem to think that china needs to expand it's borders to expand it's power.
America's borders have been practically the same since the alaska purchase. Would say we've expanded are influence since then?
Sure, the U.S can turn to S.A, but even if we wrangle them into hitting carrying capacity, they'll never approach non-explicitly alligned afroceanieurasia in literally any metric, and if we pull out of afroceanieurasia, chinks can easily fill the vacuum. Worse yet, the chinks will be paying far less to suzerain a prime afroceanieurasian country, since what could've been a competing bid from the U.S is instead going into the dead end that is latinxoamerica

This is a retreat, plain and simple
