China is a threat to our global dominance, it’s rising and that can’t be tolerated. The US will risk everything, including  nuclear obliteration, to maintain that dominance. Human nature and nuclear weapons simply do not mix. China ( and to a lesser degree Russia ) will not cowtow to US hegemony, and that is what will lead to a final showdown. The US could back down and allow China and Russia their own spheres of influence, but it will not. That is why I contend that the US is the most dangerous country in the world. No other country has a stated policy of global dominance that matches the US one. The US will continue to use it’s influence with it’s proxys to attempt to box in Russia and China, until something gives. It isn’t a matter of right and wrong( those precepts are anachronistic here), but simple survival.  You can’t save the world by blowing it to hell.
