Unlikely, but that is in the optimistic version of my own future state scenario/vision. We have not been involved in a global shooting war (or an existential war) since 1945. It could be credibly argued that we (the US) has not been involved in an existential war since 1865. This is a good record that we should seek to continue. If we can't we repeat the Pacific campaign from WWII. V/R, What if it was a collaborative training exercise that just got a little too competitive with no real harm done?

Well-said. I hope we have the stomach for it in these times. Wonder if the "alternative world view" will be very useful if our potential enemies (China, Russia) and sworn enemies (Iran, NK, Venezuela) are using the same old one.... Hey Yankee,

“It’s starting to feel more and more like the U.S.-Soviet relationship of the 1950s.”

Well-said. I hope we have the stomach for it in these times.

Wonder if the “alternative world view” will be very useful if our potential enemies (China, Russia) and sworn enemies (Iran, NK, Venezuela) are using the same old one….
