Micro haven't you noticed how the global alignments are changing - both Saudi and Iran are pretty chummy with China now and no wonder - a Chinese army could march there...

It is during power down that one army has fuel and its opposition does not - any pwoerplays that are to be made will be made at this time...

Yes, but no one will be able to march to ANZ.

Obviously destructive weapons like nuclear tipped ICBMs will be around for decades. But sea invasions will not happen. There is no need.

What will happen is that due to the collapse of Breton Woods II, financial realignments will make ANZ economic colonies of China instead of the US. Most people won't notice. They will strive as hard to earn the almighty yuan as they formerly tried to earn almighty dollars.
