I think in multi-polar world 'The' powers would respect each others spheres. What that means is for example, in 30 years, south east Asia is dominated by China & India with governments and business interests favorable to those powers and we as the US are okay with that and aren't setting up NGO's to destabilize a given country, for example Vietnam or Philippines to somehow turn them from being pro-China to being pro-West. I personally think that's a relatively fair way of how the world should work.


I can agree with that , you work around your area, I work around mine.

Yeah precisely, but that wont happen, instead what we're seeing is the US rallying all of China's neighbors to form military blocs so as to prevent their ascension. Maybe it works but i'm doubtful, China is just too big and there is just too much industrial leverage there. We can probably get most of western Europe, Japan, SK to be on our side but it's tough sledding everywhere else. Why would Africa or SA or Central Asia position themselves against China, it doesn't make economic sense.

Central Asia is landlocked they need China. Africa and SA are mostly what I will call extractive economies and they have been bled every single day by the West with no other viable options previously.
Japan and SK have no choice, I wouldn't even call them a sovereign country as long as you have foreign troops on your soil, and they have a load of them.

For one , the Muslims are better at throwing stones and the Chinese and Indians have experience and are tested with the Kung Fu fighting with sticks during their border conflicts.

Funny thing is Canada has started recruiting immigrants into the military, starting in 2022

Quote
In the past, only Canadian Citizens could serve in the CAF but, in a news release put out in December, 2022, The Honourable Minister of National Defence, Anita Anand, announced that “permanent residents are welcome to apply to enroll in the Canadian Armed Forces”.


It is actually pretty messed up, we specifically recruit people from India to come to Canada to work our low skill minimum wage jobs, promising them wages they couldn't dream of in India, only for them to then realize the cost of living is so high that they don't actually make much profit and have to live in the worst parts of town with like 5 people to a 2 bedroom apartment.

Since the Canadian military has had so much trouble recruiting they have implemented this same strategy. I would guess that within a couple years a large portion of our military will be made up of Indians, though they have also started offering more incentives for Canadian citizens as well.
