Predicting Conflict

The central aim of American foreign policy has traditionally been to dominate the western hemisphere while not permitting another great power to dominate Europe or Northeast Asia. The United States has not wanted a peer competitor. In the wake of the Cold War, U.S. policymakers remain firmly committed to this goal. An important Pentagon planning document stated in 1992, "Our first objective is to prevent the reemergence of a new rival ... that poses a threat on the order of that posed formerly by the Soviet Union. ... Our strategy must now refocus on precluding the emergence of any potential future global competitor." Prof. John Maersheimer, 2001

China is today America's global rival. Its emergence intends to be pacific, but America will not allow that. It is not President Trump and Secretary Pompeo, it is America's permanent vital interest. The media is fomenting hate against China, each day that the people is confined to their home increases their frustration and hate. Part of this hate will be channeled against the Jews, and the Sochnut is preparing itself to receive 100,000 American olim in the next two years.
