China has a ten year plan to modernize their military. Part of their deal with the USA is de-escalation regarding Chinese Taipei most likely. Probably the same for the South China Sea and Philippines. They don't want that can of worms opened yet. Additionally, China absolutely bent the USA over. The USA will be buying all those minerals from China now. And China doesn't have to buy American beef or soy. Americans are getting taxed and we won't be doing anything about it because we can't. We have to eat that.
Russia is winning the war and nothing has changed there. Its always been a matter of time. Ukraine has big flashy explosions that tend not to give them any strategic advantage but instead just look good in headlines. Russia changed strategies early on when the west decided to fund this and are grinding out attrition that Ukraine can't handle.
Iran is currently in the middle of its third salvo against targets in the heart of Israel. 300+ missiles and more have been launched and still ongoing. Dozens of confirmed hits on valuable targets. Tehran finally overcame the cyber attack on their defense systems and are now intercepting Israeli missiles and drones with accuracy. Meanwhile the Israeli air defenses are starting to waver big time. Plus we haven't even seen if Iran plans to target US assets.
I think you've missed the mark here.
Yeah, idk what this OP is on and about
