Where does this leave Japan and So. Korea? They must join China/Russia. Neither country is going to want to be the first line for anyone else (America) against overwhelming opposition.
Japan and S Korea teaming up with China Not going to happen anytime in the near future. Japan starting to build up its "Defense force" to counter powers like China and N Korea in that area of the world.

Yes, both Russia and China are peeved of with US's neo-imperialism. Further, they are Iran's friends. It is not a very good idea to anger two countries who have hundreds of nuclear weapons pointed at you.

Neo-imperialism? Aight....
As to the idea of hundred's of nuclear weapons pointing at 'us,' seems to me that those thousands of nuclear tipped missiles were pointing at 'us' for quite sometime. Cold War ring a bell? Whats the difference now verses then? Seems to me that a nuke-tipped missile pointing at me is irrelevant, especially since the long standing doctrine of M.A.D. is still in play, is it not? Personally, its better to be 'peeved' off then 'peeved on'....simply put, I guess Russia and China will have to be and stay peeved, eh?
