Why the US is shifting its focus to the Indo Pacific? Part 5 of 5 #military #army #navy #airforce

This is a five-part series where we will look at the role of the US in the Indo-Pacific and analyze their aims and objectives. This is part 5 that will focus on the 5th point of this five-part series. So, let’s get into it.
The United States is committed to an Indo-Pacific that is free and open, connected, prosperous, secure, and resilient. To realize that future, the United States will strengthen their own role while reinforcing the region itself. The essential feature of this approach is that it cannot be accomplished alone: changing strategic circumstances and historic challenges require unprecedented cooperation with those who share in this vision. For centuries, the United States and much of the world have viewed Asia too narrowly—as an arena of geopolitical competition. Today, Indo-Pacific nations are helping to define the very nature of the international order, and U.S. allies and partners around the world have a stake in its outcomes. Their approach, therefore, draws from and aligns with those of their closest friends. Like Japan, they believe that a successful Indo-Pacific vision must advance freedom and openness and offer “autonomy and options.” They support a strong India as a partner in this positive regional vision. Like Australia, they seek to maintain stability and reject coercive exercises of power. Like the ROK, they aim to promote regional security through capacity-building. Like ASEAN, they see Southeast Asia as central to the regional architecture. Like New Zealand and the United Kingdom, they seek to build resilience in the regional rules-based order. Like France, they recognize the strategic value of an increasing regional role for the European Union (EU). Much like the approach the EU has announced in its Strategy for Cooperation in the Indo-Pacific, American strategy will be principled, long-term, and anchored in democratic resilience.

Fair use is the right to use a copyrighted work under certain conditions without permission of the copyright owner. The doctrine helps prevent a rigid application of copyright law that would stifle the very creativity the law is designed to foster. It allows one to use and build upon prior works in a manner that does not unfairly deprive prior copyright owners of the right to control and benefit from their works. Together with other features of copyright law like the idea/expression dichotomy discussed above, fair use reconciles the copyright statute with the First Amendment.
