    china basically has all the advantages the U.S. did in the late 19th century with the U.S. standing in for the British Empire (and the rivalry between the two powers really reminds me of the U.S.-China one today and war was often on the table). just replace one ocean with the vastness of central Asia (the U.S. isn't driving an armored force from Europe).

      I'm sure we can just drive our forces through Afghanistan. It can't be that hard, right?
