The mission will always change, based on the situation and unseem implications are involved

The shift, I believe, is in relation to China, which is the greater threat We are already heavily committed to Europe through NATO, and if the combined strength of Europe is not enough to deter Russia, then nothing will be. China, on the other hand, is absolutely committed to an expansion policy, and many of their targets are not able to handle the political and military pressure China is more then willing to utilize. India, Australia, and Japan are already facing political and economic pressure being applied to them, not to mention the smaller Island countries, who face fleets of fishing boats who do not respect boundaries, and annex islands and swaths of sea into China's direct influence. We do not have the conventional force to project power in both Russian and China interests, while also protecting our interests in the Middle East. Europe will have to start bearing more of the burden of it's own protection, instead of relying on the United States to flex in their interests.

There are many things that go unseen and unsaid! Our geopolictical situation will always shift within different administrations! Our current leafdership should be cautious but prudent in deploying of forces! The current state of affairs is so unpredictable, which could prove beneficial!
