So you're suggesting this is a matter of renewed nationalist sentiment?

I think that might be a factor, but it can't be a major one, in my opinion...

That is astoundingly naive.

Importance on the world stage is no longer dictated by military might, but instead by economic might...

Firstly, military might is most often a direct extension of economic might. Secondly, who said economic might cannot create nationalist pride?
