They are "ensuring" allies and enhancing interoperability all over the Pacific while we run endless exercises. 

Being busy does NOT mean you're being effective or accomplishing a goal.

Is the US military actually accomplishing the goal of "reassuring allies" with these countless exercises or simply being busy?

Does forward presence actually "deter aggression" or simply show the flag in the frontiers (hopefully you get the Roman Empire analogy)?

China is making the same mistake that we did.  They're deploying their forces all over the globe ... they're in many ways repeating the mistake of Rome, just like we have.
