PART 2 Watched threat from cocos island Didnt manage to go through Singapore, the United States did not lose sense, Australiapun diloby. Then Australia and then Darwins answer to the U.S. military base. President Obama some time ago has been to that place. But why all of a sudden it transforms it. Not in Darwin but at Cocos Island? Cocos Island itself is only about 3000 pounds away from Jakarta. I.e. adjacent to Christmas Island (see picture). For that purpose, the Vice Minister of Foreign Affairs khabarnya last week AS Kurt Campbell has met Foreign Minister Bob Carr in Canberra Australia. If true the u.s. military bases to be stationed at Cocos Island, it is part of the U.S. grand strategy for strengthening their influence in the Asia-Pacific region. Why? (the answer I copas from reviews of one of the following Kompasianer): first, because the current developments in the Asia Pacific region is very dynamic, particularly in economics. Asia Pacific region has become a new magnet for us who have many years of focus to the Middle East and the Gulf region (Kompas, 19/11/11). Not to mention the condition of the u.s. economy are being hit by a severe debt crisis and the European Union its trading partners also are in terrible economic conditions. Second, the days of China as the second largest economic power in the world, behind the u.s., rated by the US military forces will increase China to protect the interests of its economy. Third, India as new powers from Asia, in addition to China, has also become a factor encouraging the U.S. gives great attention on this area. Fourth, the ASEAN countries with a rich natural potential of the region, namely oil and gas, minerals and become an attraction for big countries meddle grabbed the significance of each. South China Sea (LCS) became the area that presently being perhaps the US and China because the mineral content and the migasnya are very abundant. Fifth, the LCS that are being disputed claims by neighboring countries, namely the Philippines, Brunei, Malaysia, Viet Nam and China (who also claimed, although its position relatively far) who also became the US, it turns out is also the sea routes, the trade route from Asian countries. The value of trade through the route each year reach 5.3 trillion u.s. dollars with 1.2 trillion US dollars is the value of u.s. trade.
