The Russian economy is rated just below Canada in GDP, fer crissakes. The Europeans could handle Russia if they had to, considering the British, the French, and the Italians are well armed, even if the Germans arent. And the Chinese economy is tanking now that Trump is putting the screws to them. Plus China is surrounded by South Korea, which has a large and well equipped Army, and Japan, which has a larger and more modern Navy than Russia. Let’s not forget Taiwan, too, which is speculated to have secretly developed nuclear weapons as a deterrent to a Chinese invasion. On top of all that, most countries in Europe and Asia are aligned with the US, which is still the greatest power on Earth and could tackle both China and Russia combined. Your fears are unfounded.

Who in the world has the largest stocks of strategic weapons?
And the technological know how to keep upgrading generational weapons
Counting from 3-2-1

No fear, just realism

Oh yes, lets consider Taiwan as a player

and lets plan ad infinitum that the USA will dominate the world because our alliances are permanent
None of them are going to be swayed by China’s One Belt long term plan to create a Eurasian economic bloc around the geographic pivot of the world
And meanwhile we can keep spending our way to the top

Just print more money

Trump sees the long term futility of this strategic thinking
