Oh That is impossible

For distance 1150 km from Ho Chi Minh City to Singapore, then No one crazy go that far to make pre- strike,unless they have carrier. You want to fly to Vietnam without come back or something. There are only 3 country in Asia can do pre-strike. that are China, North Korea and Vietnam by their by long range artillery now. Once again, If Singapore jet way to Vietnam border 200 to 300 km they will be shot down by S300 PMU1 or PMU2 already.:) .Although,Russia are not present army in Vietnam any more, but I believe they are alway in the back of VN in any case of conflict. Also I think , US consider Vietnan as an indirect asset strategic partners and they want to build up vietnan like A Casino for many business players to come there to play.Vietnan will be fair dealer for all business pockers.That is why vietnam now, they want to gain more friends and they want to make every people happy.

Peace for all

they doesnt have carrier, but they have inflight refueling tanker....
how far japan to hawaii?it is not impossible, but there is possibility...
however,there is no significant factor that will lead them to war...
oh yeah,Singapore pre-emptive strike MAYBE suitable for MY and INA only..

It depends on the strategy. I think also you have to consider what exactly pre-emption means...

I have no doubt that SG will seek consensus for the deployment of its forces in either MY or TH in the spirit of the FPDA. In most scenarios I can think of, either of both MY or TH will share the same defensive considerations as SG. Accordingly, the issue of pre-emption is unlikely to arise.

Of course, pre-emption is a more likely possibility only if one considers a MY vs SG scenario. However, it is not a given that SG will seek to pre-empt in a military conflict with MY. There are a multitude of factors that have to be considered.

As highlighted, when one looks at the pointer articles, it is clear that small state strategies are considered. In all of the articles, the concept of battlefield space is a valid one but nevertheless, the possibility of pre-emption is not elevated because it is but a single factor in the analyses.

I think in view of the above, to definitively say that pre-emption is a definitive part of the SG military strategy, is not considering the big picture carefully.



The current de-facto leader (in terms of influence) is actually Indonesia and will remain so in the short-medium term. Vietnam does not enjoy significant advantages compared to either Thailand or Philippines that will enable it to take a leadership role within SEA. It is growing rapidly but has a lot to catch up. In the longer term, maybe but that could be like many many decades away.

when we predict future situation...there is too many factor...too many...
but im personally choose vietnam rather than Indonesia. just want to show 1 of the factor:

Indonesia
1,919,440 square kilometers (741,050 sq mi),
consists of 17,508 islands (6000 inhabited)

Vietnam
is approximately 331,688 km² (128,066 sq mi)
consist of 15 islands

there is too many "open door" to invade INA....

All of you are right

It is true, Vietnam now are very busy to build up the country. They don't enjoy to get in political stage in SEA. They Let Indonesisa or Thai hold the flag. Their points are how to prepare international shop for all country.Oh Vietnam signed the treaty with all SEA Nation, they won't put hand in any SEA internal affairs or attacking any country of SEA( This is assurrance). other hand Vietnam like peace talking advisor to the conficts or mistrusting among Indonesia,Singapore or Malaysia, I think they solved last year after 3 country leaders consulted with Vietnam and Thai in conferrence.
