The shape of the future international security environment in Asia, therefore, depends upon steps taken by the United States today. The security, prosperity, and freedom enjoyed in recent decades throughout Asia have depended in large part upon the preservation of American power in the region. Likewise, the United States’ Asian alliances, which have been so critical in maintaining regional stability, have remained healthy and effective thanks to confidence in American security guarantees. Should the uncertainties emerging within the United States’ historic alliances be allowed to metastasize, power dynamics within the region will undoubtedly begin to shift in ways that compromise U.S. strategic objectives in Asia.
