It is

Not really

It's all about that GDP

You just have to have support from the US

Especially manufacturing industries imo

Look at Israel for example

chad israel

Not known for being a world power

not a world power but doesn't need to be

it has dominance in the region

only threat is Iran

Israel is literally conquering middle eastern nations and asserting itself on their people

And the US loves it for some reason

The middle east is the one exception

'cuz actual wars

Also Christians. The reason is Christians.

Lebanon?

I’d say anywhere between Eastern Europe and the Far East is susceptible

But besides in the middle east, the military doesn't really matter terribly much

Especially major powers

There is 0 threat of China being invaded

If you're nuclear, you're safe more or less

Between

Not including

inb4 mongols

I will cede that's a valid threat.

The Chinese need a way to combat horse archers

*return of the hordes*

Why must nukes of been invented

Good question. I think a lot of people are wondering about the future of China and America right now.

I have no idea. So many unknowns

imo China has shown to be a good opponent

depending on the next few US Presidents and the compitency of China to see who will come out on top
