2. Does he understand how dangerous and stupid this is?

I don't even have any formal strategic military training and it sure looks foolish and unwise to me.

1. You cannot deploy your entire military to one location.
2. You cannot leave huge areas of your country and world unprotected.
3. It is very expensive to send all of one military branch to one location.
4. Who houses, clothes, feeds them with such a sudden big deployment?

5. China is very aggressive, irrational, and all about symbolism and posturing.
They have the world's largest army, but not much combat experience.

6. If the US were to get directly into China's face like this, it would be a huge
provocation.

7. China is itching for a fight. China's military would love to show off.

8. I don't even want to think about what Kim Jong UN would do.

9. We have strong wonderful allies in the Pacific, Japan, South Korea, Philippines,
Taiwan, Guam, etc. This action could result in their deaths and destruction.
