While I agree that well developed nations in the west would not often try to do this kind of thing off the bat, China is a different story. Number one, they simply have so many poverty stricken people that need some kind of boost in life that they would have plenty of support from false claims about how their lives would improve. Next, China has the manpower to succeed and is probably the only country in the world which stands to put a fight to the USA. As for the oil, I didn't mean that China was doing it now to plan the invasion, merely that when the war occurs France will be able to convince the Arab nations to only sell to China and her allies. To the communist comment, I am fully aware of what a true communist is as well as the communists that started the Soviet Union, etc., and I rarely give much notion to other people's raving comments (my comments are raving enough).
Also, I did forget to mention India, which will not act until Pakistan does, in which case they will take the other side.
