particularly if, as seems likely, it would be a cold war in which just as during the soviet-american cold war, yes, the navy has to plan for these naval confrontations, but frankly, i don't think it's a great investment of effort on the part of the u.s. military to plan for limited and able wars with the people's republic of china on the assumption that these would not turn into all-out war very, very, very quickly. if we have a sustained confrontation with china -- and we may well have one -- more likely to take the form of a cold war with arms races, proxy battles in areas remote, possibly, from china such as africa, such as central america. again, we tend to forget about our own neighborhood, but that's always contested in great power struggles. so i just think that -- and one more point about the south china sea. during world war ii, the united states proposed to give the islands to china, our ally during the war. it would give them responsibility for it. franklin roosevelt hoped that china would be the hegemon of the east asia and, in fact, part of his plan for the four policemen -- russia, the british

fought the central -- i thought the central front was kind of important, and i cared a lot about how things went. but in this day and age, i think the navy is the american arm of choice. so in closing, the argument of the book is pretty simple. the u.s. is entering a new period. we're going to have greater scarcity of resources at home. should be a pren they sees here. this is because of our politics. we could generate more security resources at home if our politics are different. but they are not. we're cutting ensite lments and defense spending because of our politics. it's easy enough to wave your hand and say this is just a political problem. it will go away. well, just because it's a political problem doesn't mean it will go away. we got here through oon elaborate process and the budget control act isn't just an act, it's a reflection of big political forces in american society. so if that changes, ok. you can go back to spending 5%, 6% g.d.p. on defense forever. maybe you can run this project for another 40, 50 years. but that's not what our politics is saying. it seems to me it would take something special to flip our politics in another directio
