Hitler's greatest concern was that the US would enter World War 2. Churchill's greatest relief was that they did, thus declaring after the bombing of Pearl Harbor, "Now we will win the war".
The greatest concern of G6 nations is that China may assert her styrategic position on the world, to satiate her increasing demand for power, land and oil. She has unleashed her economic potential but the same economic engine is funding a significant build up of military power, including nuclear capabilities.
The status in the mid-east has generally been one of Russia remaining neutral to US military activities, as happened in Bosnia and Afghanistan. However, the balance of power will shift if Russia strengthens its stake through Iran and China's demand for oil brings her into the fray. The trigger point would be a pretext similar to Pearl Harbor, that would push her restraints over the top and bring a truly awesome world power into contention ... the Kashmir may be that pretext, a trigger point for an Asian invasion.
