Quite frankly I think that as soon as America stops playing World Police we are gonna see a massive boil over of alllllllll the regional, cultural, ethnic, and religious conflicts that were largely suppressed by the US/USSR, now US, and soon to be US/China and maybe eventually just China, superpowers. If nukes weren't at play, as well as the global addiction to battery minerals/superconductors coming from just a few places then I'd say we pull back now and let the world sort itself. But alas our economy can't survive 100% internally and enough crazies with nukes are out there I'd rather not see important areas of the globe turned to glass.
