At the very least, military spending - in spite of its obvious consequences
on the US  deficit - delays and reduces the decline of dollar, so I suspect
that the "buying" and the "taking" strategies are converging anyway. :-)

But, yes, the "clash of civilisations" is a propagand myth. Let us say that

regional power? I doubt it.
