I saw your clarification and agree that symmetricality is a better distinction. I agree with your analysis of the future geopolitical situation, China is making moves into Africa via sovereign debt and infrastructure, the US and EU will probably move to contain this at some point. And that’s one of many places this game is happening. I’ll gladly take another prolonged Cold War type situation over bombs.

I think it depends a lot on what happens here over the next couple of decades, and very little of what has happened here over the last couple of decades encourages me to optimism on that score. Maybe I'll feel better when the current gerontocracy starts dying off at last. They can't possibly hold on that much longer. Or so at least I'd like to hope...but there, too, so much depends on exactly who ascends to replace them, and that's contingent on too many things for me to feel confident about any prediction I might make.
