WAR WITH CHINA

No, China wont start a war with America. They are waiting for an oportunity to do something else.
Americans are deployed all over the world now, every year a new war is added to a long list, their lines are thin, other enemies are growing.
Meanwhile, China is boosting the economy, I've read somewhere that they have a fastest growing economy in the world.
If china decides to invade somebody, my guess is they are going north. Thats where the "gold" is, unexploited regions of Sibiria, with no defense at all. When Americans are weakened by countless wars in the middle east and Africa they wont risk an all out war because of uninhabited teritory in Russia. And Russians.... they cant fight anybody anymore, their army doesnt exist, they life from old glory. They sold most of their arsenal, country in ruled by corrupt goverment and mafia who lives from foreign aid. They wont do a damn thing.

Thats just my theory....

Lets face it: The possibility of armed conflict between US and China (US/India, China/India or Pakitan/US, Pakistan/India..) in full scale isnt a possibility at all, as in all those cases the conflict/war would most likely escalate to at least to a "operational level" nuclear war, thing that nobody cant afford..

*edit*

"Operational level" meaning that in addition of battlefield usage of nuclear weapons the BASES of both sides would come under nuclear attack.
