Chinese-Dragon,
Well, from a neutral point of view, I would like to point out some things below. Claiming, conquering, invasion, win, defeat, politics is a part of this world from ancient times. But have you thought how would you take action against your adversaries by putting yourself in "US shoes"? I think I have thought of something which you think about. I posted about it in another thread, but no one replied. I read that article in Forbes Magazine.
See, US or EU, both do not have appetite for a direct confrontation as they are exhausted from last two wars, down with economic stalemate.
Now what would you do if you are them?
1. Suddenly you will find Taliban has become close to US again and thereby with Chechens, Uighur, you know what I mean!!
2. Develop new kind of nuclear weapons and defenses which will also be followed by you(spending money).
3. Try to take away Syria (this time they will be involved directly, I am sure) and after that Iran to isolate you.
4. Try to foster difference between you two (They have got huge propaganda machine which cannot be matched by none).
5. Will develop new submarines, missiles, planes etc., increase research in defense R&D thereby causing you to increase the same and then wear you down (Precisely what they did in SDI when the USSR failed)
I will point out more when I think of more points. But Beware!!
