Sucks for Europe, potentially... total non-issue here stateside. [/quote
Do you really believe that if conflict broke out between us against China and Russia that these two super powers wouldn’t attack us soil? You must be out of your damn mind or living in a secluded bubble under a rock somewhere

Russia and China together taking in the US in a conventional war would be like a baby fighting Muhammed Ali.
As someone looking into the US from outside it seems that tptb would love to see a civil war inside the US . Now we know from the TV what can happen if a store starts to run low on Cabbage Patch dolls but can you imagine if all of a sudden the US was deprived of its Chinese morphine ? Amazon might shut down . Ebay US would have to go underground and become part of the deep web .
Neither can compete with the consumer society of America, unless someone making 30 bucks a month can be a consumer too...lol

Well this isn't good.
I doubt this is a surprise to anyone.
I think this was always assumed by most.
But to see it reported...
Dunno, starting to feel like the 80's all over again.
(Yahoo.com)-China's military leadership has pledged its support to Russia as tensions between Moscow and the West further deteriorate into diplomatic isolation, economic sanctions and dueling defense drills.
In his first visit to Russia, newly appointed Chinese Defense Minister Wei Feng attended the seventh Moscow International Security Conference accompanied by a delegation of other high-level military officials. Emphasizing that his trip was coordinated directly with Chinese President Xi Jinping, Wei said that he had two major messages for Russia at a time when both nations were attempting to modernize their armed forces and strengthen their hands in global affairs in spite of U.S. fears.

We've paid for their resurgence, and they've resisted every attempt at actually opening their markets to foreign products. We've never used our leverage for a better deal.

In a conventional war, both Russia and China lack any kind of projection. Russia has one aircraft carrier that's constantly breaking down while China has none. The truth is that despite their size, China and Russia are regional powers at best. At least when it comes to military.

Depends on what the object of their war is. What if it is just to take the Spratleys and Vietnam, Thailand, maybe Korea, etc as a new "Chinese Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere"? How long do you think it would take to beat them back given our geographical remoteness, as you've noted?
There is nothing to contain, they have literally no way to get to the US mainland. It would not be a quick war, but we can get to them, they can't get to us.
