Lots of wars were started when it was very unwise for the aggressor to start a war.

The Nazi’s invading Russia is the most recent large scale example. ( Not trying to invoke the Goodwin rule, just making the point that sometimes the invading country is not always acting rationally.)
good point.

I actually think it would be wise for China to co-opt the U.S. politically (from a Chinese view-point). They could use our military as their foreign legion to kick the apple cart over and topple petty dictators so they can move in afterward with economic renewal programs and help establish "democratic" market partners.
