These two civilizations have finally embraced totally what Kishore Mahbubani, Dean of the Faculty of Public Policy of the National University of Singapore has identified as the 7 Wisdoms of the West.
By this, the trajectory of their respect GDPs will one day, and all too soon surpass that of the US.
However, it will be sufficient that they can hold their ground against any hegemonic intrusions by the hegemonic mad US. These two ancient civilizations are not interested in WAR against the US.
War will only have disastrous consequences for the initiator of the war and equally disastrous consequences for the receiver of it.
In this, the US will do well to remember Churchill's insight:
You may star a WAR,
but you will never know how it will end.
Both Napoleon and Hitler strutted their war into the east. Look what happened to them respectively. The former was exiled to Elba and the second simply could not face his War Crimes Trial and he committed suicide.
For both it was an ignominious end.
