The people are not going to be happy with the US AF in two major conflicts, one it pretends not to be in and a new one we'd be in. On the other hand these are "ideal" conditions for the bad guys (Russia and China) the US public is sick and tired after 20 yeas of Bush+Obama forever wars grinding us down and while the ME and Eastern European conflicts are tolerated, I don't think we have an appetite for something bigger in the pacific.
