China outclasses the United States and Europe combined.

The Middle East is a perpetual powder keg.

Pakistan is an unreliable ally at best. Al Queda liked hanging out there even more than in Afghanistan.

The nominal Left has been more militant than the nominal Right for the last three years. This can lead to wasting time trying to define the nominal Left and the nominal Right. If not for the sake of intellectual clarity, then at least for marketing and campaigning.
