Fiz > The strategic goals of Russia/China have already been achieved in Ukraine.
China.
China has no 'strategic goal' in Ukraine.
Russia? If Ukraine had 'surrendered' or made a 'peace deal' allowing Russia to keep the entire Donbas region as well as Crimea. . well, Russia might have realized a strategic goal. But given what it has already cost Russia and the possibility that Ukraine might come out on top . . Well, I find it just possible that Russia might lose all of Ukraine.
Fiz > Russia+China have an overwhelming battlefield advantage in the weapons that count. We don't even have hypersonic missiles yet.
Really?
How many aircraft carriers does China have? They are working on it, but they are not there yet.
Russian anti-aircraft weapons have proven 'inadequate' - against Israeli aircraft.
American hypersonic missiles?

WASHINGTON, July 13 (Reuters) - The United States successfully tested two Lockheed Martin Corp hypersonic missiles recently, the Pentagon said on Wednesday, amid growing concerns Russia and China have had more success developing their own hypersonic weapons.
The U.S. Air Force confirmed it successfully tested its Air-Launched Rapid Response Weapon (ARRW) booster on Tuesday off the California coast. Reuters reported the ARRW test earlier on Wednesday in which the booster was carried aloft under the wing of a B-52H before it was launched. In previous tests, the weapon did not detach from the plane.

Not to mention that if the United States does lose a war to Russia or China - the correct response becomes nukes.
Same thing if we was to beat the snot out of Russia or China. So, who has the better anti-missile defense weaponry?
Zim.
