With continually declining US, its presence to keep the peace is waning. Asia is looking more and more like Europe right before WWI. The main difference is the presence of global ballistic missiles. Hopefully, that will help keep the peace in a post US empire world

hopefully, but given 30,000+ years of human history, they won't.
the flash point will probably be when Xi Xinping dies of old age and the different chinese subfactions fight over who gets to be next president for life.

imo If you were right, we would have had WWIII in the 20th century already. The cost of war with nuclear weapons is just so high with MAAD that it has kept the peace. Of course, I could be wrong. It just takes one insane person...
