It’s easy to understand if you realize that America is essentially a corporation rather than a country, and that country is only representing its shareholders.
In case you’re confused - if you’re not rich and powerful, you’re not a shareholder. You’re an employee or a commodity or an expense, and you exist to enrich the shareholder class.
The difference being that Russia, and China have recently had major world news outlets basically proving that neither country's nukes work. They aren't the threat you seem to thing that they are. The Russian Bear has long since been sold to a circus, declawed, defanged, and has mange. The Chinese Tiger is paper, and partially on fire.
Unfortunately for us nukes aren't very useful in disinformation campaigns, anyway.
Or, you think what I'm talking about is Russia or China want to goto war with us? Hell no, they want us to kill each other. That is what I was talking about.
