The last real war that Russia was in was when Afghanistan handed them there A$$ on a platter 1980-1987. China was a supporter of North Vietnam but wasn't really at war. When the supported North Korea in the Korean War. They basically lost that one when the US led NATO troops pushed them back above the 38th parallel. Both now just sit back and watch the world go by and sell arms.

I do, between China and Russia against America.\nIran gives all its oil the first 2 countries and none to America. China is expected to be the world's biggest economy by 2006. It has nuclear weapons, 1.2 Billion people, the world's biggest army.\nIt has great links with Russia, their biggest Arm's supplier.

Strasveetya!  You really need to study more about the Cold War between the Soviet Union and the United States, its a very intereting time in history.  Most of the American movies, by the way, called the Soviet Union "Russia."  For many, many years our countries were the worst of enemies.  It started around the end of World War II, and officially ended when Yeltsin took power.  Why?  Because America believed communism to be the greatest evil, and the Soviet Union believed capitalism to be the greatest evil.  We were in a state that is known as a cold war.  A cold war is essentially a state of war, but at a constant state of cease-fire.  Some shots were fired, mainly planes shooting down other planes, but no major battles were fought between the two countries.  However, we had enough nuclear missiles pointed at each other to completely destroy all life on this planet several times over.  The Cold War was never more tense than when Khrushchev and Kennedy were presidents, and Khrushchev said on international television that the Soviet Union would crush America (taking off his shoe and pounding it for all to see while he said it).  I believe two of the greatest leaders our nations ever had were Gorbachev and Reagan.  They did much to clam things down, and both began the process of disarming our nuclear missiles.  Slava Bog!

ok well Russia is in a decline of democracy (its killing them), India is good but they have too many proverty problems, EU is geting quite strong but they still are too young for any control, China is the answer they have had so many advancs in 20 years and are currenty working on space engineering. I believe the Chinese will be since they already monopolize the industries and trade...It all a matter of time.

Because although the militaries signed an armistice, the governments never concluded the war.  Technically, both north Korea and south Korea are still at war.

The most recent Chinese civil war began in the late 1920s and ended, sort of, in 1949.  The war was between the Nationalists and the Communists.\n\nIn the 1920s national government in China had almost no power, and China had dissolved into a bunch of fractured fiefdoms, each controlled by a local warlord.  In 1927, Chiang Kai Shek recruited a large "National" army from the graduates of the Whampoa Military Academy in southern China near Hong Kong.  Because these soldiers actually had some training, they were able to kick the neighboring warlords' asses and absorb those troops into their own army, which began to snowball. Pretty soon they could could take territiry without a fight, allowng the corrupt local warlord to stay in power, as long as he paid lip service to the Nationalist Army and Party.  Chiang and his army eventually took over the whole country, but very little of the corruption and local oppression had changed from the warlord time.\n\nAt the same time, people who were sick of this ineffective government looked for an alternative and founded the Communist Party. They set up a little mini communist government in one part of some province to try it out.  Eventually they started winning converts all over the place, because not only was the Nationalist government corrupt and oppressive, it also sold out to foreign interests all the time.  Soon the Communists and the Nationalists were having military confrontations and the civil war had begun. In 1934, the Nationalists chased the Communists and the Communists kept retreating, for more than 3500 miles.  This long westward retreat eventualy wore the Nationalists down, while on the Communist side it became known as the heroic Long March.  Mao Zedong became the leader of the Communist Party at this time. \n\nThe Japanese saw how divided the Chinese were, and they thought this made a great opportunity to invade China, which they did in 1937.  The Japanese took over a huge chunk of northeast China and pressed south, into the Chinese heartland.  World War II began in Europe in 1939, and the US joined in early 1942.  The allies actually had to convince the Chinese to stop their civil war so that they could focus on defeating Japan.  \n\nThe Nationalists' strategy was to run away from the conflict, retreating all the way to Chongqing, which is kind of like retreating from New York City to LA in the face of an invasion from Europe.  They were hoping the Communists would all get killed by the Japanese.  But this strategy blew up in their faces, since it made Communists look like heroic patriots and Nationalists look like cowards.\n\nThe Chinese civil war started up again as soon as WW II and the Sino-Japanese war ended in 1945.  What's more, the USSR was now firmly on the side of the Communists; when the Soviets kicked the Japanese out of northeast China, they gave all the Japanese war materiel that got left behind to the Chinese Communists.\n\nThe Communists gained the upper hand and chased the Nationalists completely off the mainland and onto the island of Taiwan in 1949.  They were all set to invade Taiwan and finish the civil war, once and for all when the US 7th fleet of aircraft carriers etc. parked itself between Taiwan and the mainland.  So technically the war didn't finish, and it still hasn't finished.\n\nToday, both sides still insist that there is only one China, that their government is the "real" governnment of China and that the other one is a pretender.  They are on much better terms now than they were from say 1949-2000, when each feared and expected a military confrontation with the other.

Not sure what exactly you are asking....The major war during the middle of the 20th Century was the Korean Conflict (War).  Though each region also had their own wars around 1950-1960.\n\nThe future war of the middle century will probably be between the US and China after China uses force on it neighbors to secure minerals/oil when a shortage occurs.

China..War isn't just who'se got more tanks and more missiles.\nThe chinease people are more cultured and better educated and the average chinease citizen knows far more about the outside world than the average American, they are not apt ot belive in such fairy tales like those that fill the amrican media about other nations and therefore they are less apt to getshoked when facing the real world in a real world.\nBesides, the educational system in china is better, and is not weakened by a weird control of regressive religious thought as the case with america andtherefore the chinease aremore innovative and can produce better research, which helps in modernizing weapons.\nThe chinease production is the highest in the world(500 major industrial cities!)and their rate of development is staggering(from 10-16% yearly!) They can afford a long war(and it has to be loong causeyou just can`t destroy the whole of china by a sudden nuclear strike, not unless you wish to commit suicide!)\nIn short China have wisdom, innovation and culture + a very modern army+ 1.3 billion citizens, most of them youth who are able to serve and ell trained for fighting.\nLets hope such war will never happen.\n\nAnd again it isn`t amatter of who spends more. USA is having a major problem in Iraq despite being a million times richer! And USA will not dare attack Iran despite having a far superior army, war isnt that simple, it isn`t a fight in a bar:)

Just watch out for China.  They will do whatever they can to destroy our economy, our military power, and eventually, our country.   This has been their agenda since 1950 and they haven't veered off that course since then.  We must stop pouring our currency into China,it only makes it more powerful than it already is.  Between China and Russia, they have a game plan to take us down, and if we don't wake up to that fact we will become a third world power.  So it is not just economic warfare with China, it could very well turn into military conflict if they continue with their not so secret agenda to weaken this country.

I think its China. We borrowed billions for the Iraq war. Though we do also owe a lot to France.

Well Japan in itself is done with war.  It is in their law of war now. They will never be the offensive in a war, only support and defend.  As far as the WW3 thing, we are on the verge of it.  North Korea and China only leave Japan alone because we have bases there, if we left....  And as it is you know China, Russia, and N. Korea would join.  And then we would be back to the original Allies for us.  Except this time it would have Japan with us.  They can be ruthless, as we know.  And in the long run, the next WW, will be earthly disasterous!!  Nuculear weapons, and the number of ground troups required for that kind of war again would be insane!  The outcome would be the end of seperated countries, someone will battle for dominance. But end the world as we know it.
