It is hard to understand why the US does so little to advance the goal of regional stabilization, especially since it still retains considerable leverage in this respect. As no regional power is strong enough to win a war of succession outright, all of these powers could only lose if a conflict ensues.
难以理解的是美国为何在实现地区稳定方面几乎无所作为，特别是在它还游刃有余的情况下。由于没有一个国家能有足够的实力在这场霸权争夺战中获胜，因此一旦冲突发生，所有参与方都将是输家。确实，这种冲突造成的内部动荡的后果对所有国家都是一种威胁。
