When will they use it? When china has no stable ally anymore to do business peacefully?
They do not intend to use it. Just the knowledge that they have it and CAN use it is causing the US to back off against warmongering rhetoric against China. However, it is China that is developing the stable allies because of their military might, and America that is losing stable allies because it is becoming militarily impotent. America did not have the resources to defend even the Ukraine, so no country is now relying on the US to even defend America against another major military.
Like I already say the USA is taking down Chinese allies one by one and China is not using it's economical leverage to force the USA to behave . Africa is fueled by civil wars backed by the west and they will continue to fuel new ones. Trade needs stability Europe is just moving a bit temporary to China because of Trump but they will come back to the USA if dems wins again
You have an interesting version and concept of history and current events. Even if the Dems win the house, and even if they win the next Presidential election, nothing will change about the US because there is nothing any President can do to save it. The problems America has are systemic and ingrained in the economy. Trump is just the poster boy, bringing them out to the attention of the world. America has gone from America 80% world GDP to less than 20% world GDP in two decades. That will never be undone by ANY future President.
South Korea is actually taking over the role of America as the world's arms manufacturer, (heading for fourth place) and that will not change no matter what happens in the US politically. As the world shies away from American arms, South Korea is determined to pick up the slack. Once they get market share, they will not lose it. They have the industrial capacity to beat out anyone, even the US.
