the intensified conflicts between the US and China
inevitably lead to a global conflagration? If
recent past history is any indication the answer
is a resounding yes. The most destructive wars of
the 20th century were the result of confrontations
between established (EIP) and rising (RIP)
imperial powers. The practices and policies of
the former serve as guides to the latter.</span>
