Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.If you read through the testimony of both commanders, you’ll soon grasp one thing: that the U.S. military -- or at least the Navy and Air Force -- are focused on a future war-scape in which American forces are no longer focused on terrorism or the Middle East, but on employing their most sophisticated weaponry to overpower the modernized forces of China (or Russia) in a relatively brief spasm of violence, lasting just days or weeks. These would be wars in which the mastery of technology, not counterinsurgency or nation building, would -- so, at least, top military officials believe -- prove the decisive factor.
They were always focused on China. The Middle East was the path to get there. Without taking over the Middle East, defeating China wouldn't be possible. The U.S. didn't want China or Russia "winning" the vast economical resources in Central Asia. Look at everything from at least since 2001 that has led up to this point. Hell, we can even go back to daddy Bush and the first Iraq war. Things that make you go hmmm!
...and brief? That's what they say about every war they enter or talk about entering.

@altschmerz I definitely believe both parties are lock step in their corporate and foreign policy endeavors.
Even just going to war with Iran would start WWIII probably. China and Russia are allies of Iran and do a lot of business with them. I've thought for the longest time that China is the U.S. real "enemy". They are the next U.S. in terms of their economy. They pose the biggest threat to U.S. dominance. They have the influence to probably sway U.S. allies, but I think the biggest problem for them is that the U.S.military is still superior. If it's China, Russia, and the other BRICs nations then it's different.

Some in the Chinese military think they want a war. I hope cooler heads prevail. There may be some in the US military that feel similarly. I think cooler heads will prevail. The biggest fear is that provocations by either side go horribly wrong and thrust us into a shooting war. With Trump in office, we can only hope that never happens.
