China is NOT another superpower, but they could have kept Iran out of trouble.
Oh boy… that’s what the neocons at the RAND corporation think tank believe: there’s a single superpower in the world and then there’s everybody else.
Never mind that China has four times the labour pool and a unified patriotic population that isn’t nearly as fractured as the US. It has a bigger economy. It has supply chains and manufacturing that dwarf the US, and it has plenty of nuclear weapons and fifth generation delivery systems. It would be very unwise to take on China or Iran, but of course we’re gonna try.
