| #3 "TWO WARS, TWO PAIRS OF FRENEMIES", iff we include the US-vs-China in Asia-Pacific. As per WORLD MILITARY FORUM > CHINA = is positioning itself as an EQUAL OF SUPERPOWER US, hence is unabashedly willing to be unilaterally MilPol "aggressive", even "authoritarian/ dictatorial" to its neighbors in East-South Asia. All of China's on-going disputes around East-SOuth Asia + USA are linked to the above, not just historicities. |

| #2 Its two "large wars" because Shia Iran's global "awakening" is increasingly stirring the Sunni + Saudi global "awakening". Perhaps we can go Chinese + label it "ONE WAR, TWO FRENEMIES"??? |

| #1 "Insurgencies, or so-called small wars," And therein lies a rub. Do we interpret the present world "Insurgency-burdened" condition as (1) One large war with a number of tendrils; or(2) a buncha small wars with differing goals and hierarchies thereof consisting? The answer to this question chooses a starting point for winnowing means of resistance and/or efficient countermeasures...? ....not going to go snarky on the good General....wonder what he's going thru at home and at holidays.... |
