Next wars -

Britain vs Argentina over Falkland Island oil fields.

USA vs oil states over insults by their leaders, including South America

West vs Muslim countries that hide and support terrorists (continuation
of the current war)

USA vs Iran - they have not forgiven each other plus all that oil

China vs African countries for African raw materials. *(The West
may decide to stay out.)

we don't need the F-22 for any of thise wars and I doubt China invading
Aftica is a likely scenario.

I suspect that it is the other way round. *African governments trying
to nationalise Chinese run mines, railways and ports. *This is just
repeating what their grandfathers did to the European empires.

gee, locals trying to control their own resources, how evil.
foreigners with guns should always rule.

Owning one's resources is not evil, but inviting someone to help
develop them with you as a partner and then stealing their agreed-on
share of the profits is generally considered a nasty thing to do. See:
Venezuela.
