Here is an outsider's view of America/China/Russia. A Russian immigrant who has some knowledge of both Russian and Chinese points of view. There may just be a grain of truth in what he says.
I think WWII is a good example. A democratic Russia may have lost WWII. The war was really about how much of a beating Russia was willing to take and Stalin would have fought to the last man. After the end of 41, it was obvious that it was Russia's willingness to take losses that decided the issue. No matter what Germany did, Russia could replace what she lost, and in just a few years the tactical and technological advantages of Germany disappeared. First Germany used up its surprise, then its mechanized advantage. Would a democratic Russia have stayed the course?
The total military budgets of Russia and China are a good match for the combined military spending of France, the UK and Germany. Once you start throwing in the rest of the EU countries, many of whom are top 20 military spenders, it becomes lopsided in favor of the west rather quickly.
And the Russians still have ~3,000 Enhanced Radiation Weapons (or "neutron bombs" for the uncouth) in the 1 kt and 10 kt yield range.
You have none, and neither does France, the UK or Germany.
Good luck with that, especially with that big freaking gamma that comes off of Aluminum. That thing will drill a hole in your head.

No we wouldn't we would just print more money and then we wouldn't have to pay those commie bastards back...
Exactly what China is afraid of. If they give us too much crap all we have to do is print all the dollars we owe them and ship it over there. Then their debt would be worth about 20% of what it is right now.
instead of boycotting mideastern oil and expelling muslim extremists (as has france), we have flexed our muscle in the mideast. a horrid mistake. combined force of china russia and iran is way out of our league.
