Your whole thread of comments simply sounds paranoid and detached from the reality that the US maintains and funds the continued development of the most advanced strategic warfare system in the world.

The Russians and Chinese can't even deploy a reliable survivable force. Their boomers are either rusting or poorly tested and their forces underfunded.

They can't even regularly deploy attack submarines to the Atlantic Ocean -- how are they going to simultaneously fix, track, and neutralize the US boomer force?

Your entire train of thought on US/RF/PRC deterrence relationships is fantastical.

Fantastical, is it? Oh...really. Then why are there Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse?

Donald Trump + Xi Jinping + Vladimir Putin + and Kim Jun Un

Checkmate.
