Well since japan is allies with the United States and Europe I can see this quickly becoming WWIII and China has Russia backing them.


Well it doesn't look good for us though, EU's economy is in shambles (only Germany seems to get it right) and Japan and the USA are so debt burdened that it would really weaken our resolve.  China is being bold seeing that it has the support of Russia and Pakistan (maybe even Iran) just in case crap hits the fan.  The only other ally the USA has in Asia (that isn't afraid of China or economically dependent on China) is the Philippines.  That one barely has a capable Navy to defend itself (3 Frigates; one WWII vintage, and a dozen Corvettes the newest being 26 years old) let alone help in assisting/defending the Seventh fleet just in  case they need refuge from the fight!!!  Don't get me wrong, the Philippines will provide refuge but I doubt the Phil Navy can protect the Seventh if they do need a place to hide just in case the war goes south for them.


The Philippines is the least of China's worries. It's only resisting China because the United States is backing it up, but on its worst day China can obliterate the PH Navy. With the laughable military power it has, they stil have to spare troops for the never ending civil war on the southern island.
