When an element in nature is dying, it lashes out in furious indignation of its impending demise. The candle flame, in its final moments, splutters and spits, and tries to grow bigger before it pops dead. Empires throughout history become more complex, unmanageable and invent external bogies upon which to divert their population's attention from their own failures.
America as a Superpower, is recognising its own ageing, its own ineptness, and keeps the war alive for the sake of ... memory of former greatness.
India, for some reason, thinks it too is a Superpower and is crumbling before it even got to the first rung of the ladder to Superpower status. China, Pakistan, and even Australia have become targets for a crazed and souped-up India. Bangladesh hasn't escaped India's ire. And when there's no one else upon whom to cast aspersions, India will turn inward and bully its lower castes.
