The US is not duking it out with any of these countries. China is too busy making all the world's plastic shit, and Russia's only weapon is the ghost of Cold War past.
What is Russia going to do? All of their best military units are already dead both in terms of hardware and personnel.
The Russians have already gone up against Western hardware and lost so we've essentially had a preview of the war except no Western forces have been engaged in that war. So apparently Russia is going to attack an enemy who is at full fighting strength when they themselves are severely depleted and are actually at this very moment relying on drafting.
America is more than ready, considering how much we spend on the military. This article is a few years old, and definitely sensationalist, but is still an interesting read-
And on top of that, the US Army just started deploying robotic troop carriers, and is finishing up remote combat vehicles for the front lines so that first contact isn't with soldiers. Yes, we're going to have killer robots on the front line. And soon.
Ehh, instead work with the EU & UK and offer their logistics network so they can handle Ukraine, secretly provide Taiwan nuclear warheads & start a Cuban missile crisis 2 & force a real conversation.
Pacific too risky? Expand A2AD capabilities to Asian allies en masse, it's gonna all be defensive wars after all
We (Americans) should not basically have to pay for their defense
Um, please can we not bet the future of humanity on there being a Chinese equivalent of Vasili Arkhipov during the blockade of Cuban Missile Crisis 2: Chinatown.
Why would we be negotiating for that??? There is no point in range anymore.
Instead, we'll be negotiating for shipping rights to grade B Chinese ghost city apartments & skyscrapers to bring to the USA on the cheap!!!
They have a lessened property crisis, we have more housing for cheap that wasn't built by our evil & corrupt government lol, everyone wins!!!
Likely though we'd just end up negotiating the removal of nuclear weapons over a final arrangement for Taiwan's independence or some variation of subservience (think China's 9 points plan 1981 but with more brexit North Ireland vibes), fentanyl precursors to Mexico, and a potential final arrangement for the Korean peninsula's path to unification, boo
...of which one half is brain-washed into wanting to kill the other half, while welcoming any wanna-be dictator with open arms and with a lot of potential applicants for the Darwin-Awards.
