Well, in politics there appears to only be two sides in America. In war there is usually only two sides. The situation is prime territory for Dialectical Materialists (Marxism-Leninism) to flourish. This will bring a horrible future.
American and Western culture used to be centered around Christian morality, a system of absolutes. Good and bad, right and wrong. In the last 40 years the culture has taken a step away from that. And look what happened. The results are clear to see both inside America and in the world. Sarah Palin warned about this in 2008. She was absolutely right.
Many times, there are three sides: the two sides that are fighting, and the side that wants both of them weakened so that it can come in and conquer both.
China wants the US and Russia to bleed each other dry. The US so that we will not be in a position to resist when they take Taiwan. Russia, so they won't resist when China moves to take Siberia.
