Agreed. I was talking with a friend about the ethics of war and he fell back on a sort of "sometimes you just gotta fight Nazis" attitude which prompted a realization of an increasing similarity between the two countries. I don't think it's an unpopular opinion that global tensions are brimming in a pre-world war manner either. There are a lot of the same quiet alliances that were going on back in the day as well.

On a different front, China is readying for a war with Taiwan over rights to the South China Sea as we speak.
Yep, this is the aggression and expansion I was referring to. I think it's like a trial balloon.
