Perhaps you want a major conflict with the russians and the chinese?

Let's send you and your children to war
The Chinese NEVER, ever fight. Why should they? China has done superbly in reducing poverty by over 680 million out of a population of 1.3 billion since abou 1980. They have a long, long way to go and the Communist Party knows that to retain power and not face massive unrest on scales that we in the west can't imagine as we don't have 15 million and more in our cities and maybe 30 million within a 40 minute drive like in Shanghai. So their gov't while building strong military is not about to fight .

China keep communications up with both sides (Iraq, Libya, and now Syria) in disputes and after the US stopped fighting China got the oil contracts. They also have gobbled up large parts of resources in Africa.

None of the truly major "have" nations have gone to war against each other since WW2. Lots of "have nots" fighting "haves "and other "have nots" proving that Bob Dylan got it right when he sang "when you ain't got nothing; you've got nothing to lose."

Russia will give military aid. Sound familiar? USA helped bin Laden and others fight the USSR in Afghanistan. Taught bin Laden a lot of what he and his folks used against the Americans when they changed sides (as they are wont to do in that part of the world).

I'm not disappointed in the Brits. They've just voted according to the wishes of the British people. MPs want to get re-elected and the public are fed up with them paying for austerity when the clowns in charge think nothing of wasting millions in foreign wars as the lap dogs of the USA. Iraq brought down Tony Blair and possibly this will cost Cameron big time and he hasn't a majority.
