Russia isn’t rearmed it is depleted of it’s vast paper assets from its Soviet days.
NATO is stronger with increased military budgets, important new members, greater unity and building new weapons factories after seeing the deficiencies they had slipped into from complacency, even energy programs have moved right.
China has seen the sobering performance of the Russians and their weapons and Japan, Australia, South Korea, Taiwan, and the Philippines have all moved in the same way as NATO.
We and our friendships and alliances and recognition of weapons needs are looking better against China than we were 2 years ago.
Curious. When I was at the In Residence Advance Course for Field Grade Officers (promotable) I learned a bunch of stuff about General Staff Operations that was helpful in discerning Intent of Military Operations. If I were one of America’s enemies I would be praising the ancient god of war for this answered prayer. America has lost every war since WW II, especially those fiascos in the desert which we supposedly “won.” Anyone looking to “duke it out with the Ruskies because we can” is seriously lacking in their Fund of Knowledge.
