American withdrawal from the Indian Ocean, abandoning India

...US Indo-Pacific Command, the oldest and largest of America’s combatant commands, has reverted to its former title of the US Pacific Command.

This invites questions about whether Washington’s strategic view of the Indo-Pacific region has changed. How should the world interpret the dropping of “Indo” from “Indo-Pacific”?  CNA

When the Americans changed the US Pacific Command to Indo Pacific Command, the tail of India curled straight up, believing that the Americans had finally acknowledged the importance of India as a notable power or partner of the American Empire. Everyday the Indians were gloating about their importance to the American and their role in the Indian Ocean to contain China and Russia. It appeared that the Americans wanted the Indians to play a key role in their dominance over countries around the two oceans. QUAD made the Indians feel really important, like they have arrived as a super power to stand beside the Americans. Whether the Americans were serious about the role of India became irrelevant after Operation Sindoor when India was whipped by lowly rated Pakistan. The Americans saw through the hollowness of Indian self praised as a counter weight against China. Unable to deal with Pakistan, India will be totally useless against China.

Is this the main reason why the Americans dropped the name Indo Pacific and reverted to Pacific Command? One thing is clear, Indonesia, a Muslim state, was never a player in the American grand plan. Indonesia is good for use and throw away when its usefulness is no more there. What then will be the likely reason for the change of name again?

The Trump regime's keynote policy statement is about the Monroe Doctrine. Trump is consolidating his attention to the Americas as their last bastion. Look at all the actions of Trump, increasing aggressiveness in Latin America as well as in North America. The Americans are on a campaign to bash all the Latin American states to hammer them into obeyance. Venezuela is the first victim and many will follow suit, including the Caribbean Islands.

In North America, Greenland is to be grabbed to make the picture complete, the American Empire covering North and South America in accordance with the Monroe Doctrine. Canada is a given as far as Trump is concerned, too weak to resist when Trump raises his pressure on the Canadians. Trump has in all counts abandon Europe. His hostile takeover of Greenland is as good as slapping the Europeans right in their faces. And what can the European or Canada do about it? Absolutely nothing except crying out loud.

In the Pacific Ocean, the first and second island chains are as good as gone. The Americans know that they cannot defend them. China, Russia and North Korea can effectively take full control of the western Pacific Ocean. The only place consider a bit safer is Hawaii. Guam is just a sacrificial lamb.

The Pacific Command is just that, consolidating American position in the eastern Pacific Ocean. There is no ability for the Americans to control the Indian Ocean. Diego Garcia is in the same pathetic situation as Guam, indefensible. The Americans know that.

The war in the Middle East is a test case to see if the Americans can still hang on in the region. The Americans under the previous regime were confident to take over Europe and Eurasia. But Ukraine is an outright failure,...and Iran is proving the same point. American powerful projection into Asia, Europe and Africa is weak and unsustainable. The realistic position is to hold on to the Americas when no other super power is in a position challenge the Americans militarily. Poor Latin Americans and North American states will soon fold into the shrunk American Empire.

The Americans may not want to say or admit it, they have lost control over the whole of western Pacific Ocean. The Americans are not leaving but digging in? Digging into where? No American base in the western Pacific Ocean is safe, as proven in the Iran War. The American aircraft carriers are too expensive to be sacrificed in the western Pacific Ocean. All the hooha about freedom of navigation is a hoax. Every American warships in the western Pacific Ocean will be sunk in the western Pacific when hostility is declared.

All the silly talks and bragging about Americans not leaving but digging in are meant for the ears of silly Mickey Mouse states that would be used, like Ukraine, to be turned into a war zone and to be obliterated. The Americans have no means to defend them. Period.
