Pentagon strategists declared in January 2018 that the post-2001 “war on terror” had been replaced as the primary focus of US military interventions by “great power conflict,” especially against China and Russia.
America is hell-bent on militarily re-asserting its hegemony over the Indo-Pacific region and the entire planet. This is putting the US and its closest allies, notably Australia, on course for a potentially cataclysmic nuclear war with China.
After the resounding successes of US wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, war with China will be a cakewalk. They'll probably just capitulate without firing a shot, right ?
Finally, it will be the war to end all wars !
