Europe’s Security Role in the Indo-Pacific

[@bangcon]

Can you do a similar episode regarding Asia's security role in Europe. It seems that the only shooting war right now is actually in Europe and that war maybe spiralling out of control.

[@GeoScorpion]

There's nothing in Asia (including China) that could project to Europe. It's a non-issue except maybe in the production of arms... If Ukraine could sell its "Sea Baby" designs to Taiwan and South Korea with labor from the Philippines, THAT might be something....

[@rexiansayson]

Agree

[@GeoScorpion]

I think Putin's visit to N. Korea may cause S. Korea to take the gloves off on aid to Ukraine... but, yeah: a panel on how Asia is assisting EU would be interesting.

[@vlhc4642]

Chinese drones are keeping NATO's entire Ukraine project afloat isn't it, say thank you. But if you're talking about the future, Asia's role in Europe might show up in the form of PLA marching into Poland after US invokes Article 5 and PLA takes a train ride through their Russian allies.

[@rexiansayson]

@@vlhc4642 Asia is not China. China is not Asia. Those of us who left China - many to Southeast Asia - left for a reason. This is why the center of Asia is ASEAN, not China #ASEANCentrality

Great conversation, thanks for sharing.

[@John-tz5ub]

ASEAN countries do not want a NATO-like security arrangement in the Indo-Pacific. But Philippines wants a NATO-like security arrangement in the Indo-Pacific to address its security requirements. Europe looks down on the Philippines as an insignificant country because it is a small and economically and militarily weak country. However, the Philippines is culturally linked to at least Christian Europe because the Philippines is the only predominantly Christian country in Asia. In this regard, Europe can at least identify itself and work with the Philippines.

I'm European and I totally agree.

Amazing conversation; Democracy need to come together against rising Dictatorship

Or a revival of European colonialism...its no longer the era of the East India Company...the Japanese Imperial Army had send both the English & Dutch colonial masters back...shattered their aura of invisibility & demonstrated they can be as lowly as the coolie can be..so dont try it again.

To put it bluntly, what will Europe do when China makes a big move.

[@plebius]

Question I would loved to be answered by your esteemed guest's. Will the US lackluster performance in supplying Ukraine impact Europes outlook / perceived ability on supporting the US in Indo-Pacific region.

[@GeoScorpion]

Artur Rehi (Estonia) already answered that question across interviews with several prominent leaders.

[@silafaupaulmeredith7251]

[@GeoScorpion]

@@silafaupaulmeredith7251 You clearly have no idea how outsized Estonia is in its actions, support, budget, etc. Further, you clearly have no idea who Artur Rehi is in relation to GAINING support and attention around the world. Estonia is small, but its people are steadfast, which is a quality LOST in the people of most countries including my own. What can Estonia do globally? Remind us how to act and who to be!

Oh ok Wyatt Earp wants to flash his marshalls badge in the South China Sea as well as in Europe, Central and South America, Africa, and the 750 US military bases throughout the World. But, Orwell....says, stick to your own lane....Stay in your own region. But, no....Wyatt Earp has to walk the beat, even when the world says Butt out!!

[@pierman4858]

US bases are popular apparently. Name one that is there against the will of the host nation?

[@TimBrianTufuga]

@@pierman4858 How long is a piece of string? Presently, they're using Proxy China and Russia and protestors where US bases are at. Starting with the most recent, then Niger and Mali and check the Pentagon regions sitreps they'll brief you from the past and certainly, if theyre smart, they'll brief you of the future when you will be forced to shut down the US Bases. Presently, Pro American regimes will maintain the bases until they are replaced at the next election or coup. Common Sense really....Wax and Wane, Ebb and Flow....You know rise and fall...of regimes and Empires, albeit the American Hegemony. It is the Orwellian nascent rise of EURASIA.

How about the IRAQI gov't that had repeatedly called for the permanent withdrawal of U.S. military presence in their country which their wishes and demands have been IGNORED by your country's government that you have no clue that's actually happened. 😅

European should focus more of security role in Europe and not the Asia-Pacific. Asian countries have no major wars in recent years and you are not invited to cause any human sufferings in Asia. By the way. NATO is the Yankee-led expansionist military alliance and must stay in Europe continent.

[@GeoScorpion]

Why? Asia is part of the globe, so part of everyone's interest. If you don't like it, stop being part of the global economy and starve. Otherwise, stop spreading Imperialist ideas of spheres of power. You do NOT want the USA to start playing by China or Russia rules. If we did, we'd be having a different conversation in less than a month.

We don't have enough problems in Europe or is it that we still believe that we are better than anybody else and that these poor aboriginals need to be colonized?

Well. China should send troops to the Mediterranean for peace keeping between Israel and iran

[@vlhc4642]

Chinese troops on Polish border might just be called upon to enforce Ukrainian neutrality after the peace treaty.

[@vlhc4642]

Practically it's far more realistic for China to establish a security role in Europe, say patrolling the Baltic Sea, than European ability to deploy to Asia.

[@martavdz4972]

Agreed, but I'm not sure China will be patrolling the Baltic Sea. Europe is far too mistrustful of China, and the three Baltic states don't have ideal relations with it, especially because Lithuania openly supports Taiwan.

[@vlhc4642]

@@martavdz4972 You're confused, China won't be patrolling the Baltic Sea for NATO, China will patrol the Baltic Sea to protect Russia from NATO. The less Baltic States like it, the more necessary it is.

[@johnnyhotwiel5409]

Allthough I strongly oppose your views and ideas I nevertheless enjoyed this conversation.

[@DPtdryste]

The west and europe should stick to their own regions and sphere of influence first. The title of this episode made me laugh.

[@GeoScorpion]

America is part of the Pacific. The entire planet is our sphere of influence and it should be yours, too. The idea of segregated 'spheres of influence' is an imperialistic idea with shoes too big for China and Russia to fill.

Comedy. Europe cannot itself fund their own security.

[@foute90s]

I always find it ironic when the US mentions "upholding the law of the sea" as a non-signatory. The US has an image in Europe of "only upholding international law if it suits their short term interests".

[@chillxxx241]

All this talk about Taiwan is disingenuous. The United States does not have a mutual defense treaty with Taiwan. The US response will most likely be very similar to its current efforts in Ukraine and Israel. These efforts stretch to support functions of both military intelligence communities. They are also stressed the United States economy, as it must provide financing and or aid to these conflicts and support of the allies while struggling with issues at home.
