As everyone here knows, the Von Schlieffen plan was conceived as a means for Germany to avoid a two-front war. While US doctrine is directed towards a two-theater war, we too cannot fight a two-front war if the adversaries are Russia & China.

As the reality of what is occurring really begins to sink in, I think we're at the cusp of some major upheavals. Something that strikes at our very existential foundation will create a reaction.

When the history is written, the election of Hussein in '08 will be identified as the key moment when the USA lost any adult coherence; we fully immersed ourselves in juvenile narcissism, with the result now manifesting itself 7 years later.

In chaos theory, the butterfly effect is the sensitive dependence on initial conditions in which a small change in one state of a deterministic nonlinear system can result in large differences in a larger state.

In other words, a butterfly flapping its wings in Texas can cause later a typhoon in the Japanese Sea.

Think about it, in mid-20th Century America an 18 year old hippie freshman slut in a Honolulu college has sex with an older Kenyan politician on a student visa, who has a wife and child back in Africa. ​ ​And from this "roll in the hay" comes the collapse and dissolution of America in the 21st Century.

Interesting isn't it, and it makes you a firm believer in the "butterfly effect."

That WAS the US doctrine. Within the last year, pentagon officials are on record that they are no longer confident of winning in two theaters simultaneously. It was covered here on FR.
