you like the author are judging the future by todays standards.
do you see any war in the near {next 2 decades} future?

Next wars -
Britain vs Argentina over Falkland Island oil fields.
Not unless Argentina buys some equipment that works...
Poor Argentinian equipment may not prevent the war, just make it short.
USA vs oil states over insults by their leaders, including South America
Not unless there's a major change in US foreign policy. They usually
just forment a coup and deal with the military.
The coup in Venezuela appears to be a very long time coming.
West vs Muslim countries that hide and support terrorists (continuation
of the current war)
The US relationship with Pakistan seems to indicate that it doesn't
amtter who the government is or what they say.
Some governments fight along side the Americans others against the
Americans.
USA vs Iran - they have not forgiven each other plus all that oil
Possible. What will Iran use for weapons?
Iran has its own armaments factories. As well as IEDs Iran can now
launch satellites on its own rockets.
China vs African countries for African raw materials. (The West
may decide to stay out.)
Interesting idea.
How does China get their army there?
Guess. On civilian passenger aircraft with passports that state
security guard as occupation.

we need F-22 to defeat the Iranian air force?


We need it to survive Iranian air defense so we can defeat its air
force.


At present we have no business in Iran. If the Jews do not like Iran,
let them do the attacking and with us as a neutral nation..Providing
nothing in materials, money, training or support of any kind to either.
No more of Israels mantra of " Onward Christian soldiers". Diplomacy
might just be in our national interests for a change.
