Now show me the alliances (as with pre-WW1 in Europe) in place in Asia for the above to transpire.
There are various economic groupings but the only military alliance is Japan-S.Korea-Taiwan-US and that's 50+yr old legacy. Aussies got some american nukes placed on their soil recently. The US base in the Phillipines closed some time back.
Now, what i want to know is whether an attack on any one of the above will be considered as an attack on all ?
Because as I see it the US has a 1:1 relationship with all of them. The US will assist if any one of them gets attacked. I'm not seeing others joining the fray unless also provoked which seems unlikely.
The other countries are pretty much on their own. Alliance building within Asia is still yet to begin and I'm not holding my breath.
