Malaysia Targeted by Air-Sea Battle Plan The reasons for targeting Malaysia becomes clearer by examining the bigger picture of an aggressive military build-up in the Southeast Asia region by the combined armed forces of the US, Japan and Australia under Washingtons strategic pivot to Asia policy. This geopolitical strategy is carried out by the Pentagon and its military allies through the Air-Sea Battle Concept, which disperses Navy and Air Force fighter jets across a network of civilian airfields and secret landing strips. Beijing is not the only target of the Air-Sea Battle Concept. Malaysia runs a close second to China on Washingtons enemies list. Flight MH370, destined for Beijing, is the literal embodiment of the economic alliance and political relationship between : China and Malaysia, making the airliner a most convenient target. Pressuring Kuala Lumpur Located on the geostrategic Malacca Strait, Malaysia is a predominantly Muslim oil-producing nation with a Look East policy allying itself with Japan and China. Last year the Malaysian and Chinese governments established an economic alliance, which includes Asian access to world oil reserves. In the eyes of Washington and its allies, these are sufficient grounds to treat Kuala Lumpur as an adversary.
