Thanks, Ron
It's different in many different ways. Neither the Germans nor the Italians are threatening their neighbors with war, are annexing large swaths of international waters and planting artificial islands there with airbases on them, are buying up large parts of American business and property, are engaging in cyber shenanigans, are reverse engineering, copying or outright stealing everything from car parts to fighter jets and building it them themselves, and/or building up their military for eventual war with the US.

At least not in this century. The Chinese are not our pals.
