Tư Lệnh Hạm Đội Thái Bình Dương Mang Hai Dòng Máu Mỹ-Nhật

HoangsaParacels: Với đà kinh tế và quân sự đang lên, Trung Cộng nóng lòng muốn nắm vai trò lãnh đạo thế giới; nhưng tư cách cường quốc cuả họ rất nhỏ mọn, húng hiếp các nước làng giềng nhỏ yếu, bủn xỉn khi láng giềng gặp hoạn nạn, giỏi sao chép, trộm bản quyền, dân trí thấp kém khi tiếp xúc với thế giới văn minh. Hơn nưã một dân tộc tương đối thuần chủng và tự tôn như Tàu không thể nắm vai trò lãnh đạo, họ chỉ giữ vai trò thống trị, độc đoán.  
Nước Mỹ trong nhiều thập niên tới, dù kinh tế khó khăn, nợ nần chồng chất vẫn sẽ là siêu cường số một trên thế giới vì tính đa chủng tộc, một nền dân chủ đại nghị lâu đời, một dân tộc can đảm, phóng khoáng, yêu tư do.  Việc dùng các Đô Đốc Hải Quân gốc Nhật và các hạm trưởng người gốc Á Châu trong chiến lược chuyển trục qua Thái Bình Dương là một cách sử dụng tài sản quốc gia quý hiếm cuả Hoa Kỳ không phải bất cứ cường quốc nào cũng có.
