Russia is good friends with China. USA research and universities are saturated with China Chinese. Good luck with keeping secrets. Russia and China alread able to shoot down F35. Have more nukes. Have hypersonic missiles. Ablr to take out American satelites. Supply chains and raw materials absolutely trounce USA with even NATO support. Saudi now doing non petrodollar. USA 400K troops decimated in Afghan. Dedolarisation is happening making USA dominant in 75% world teansaction now drop below 50% (according to official world numbers and below 40% in unofficial like India/Russia/China trades that not registered in the west). USA couldnt even make phones and TVs properly. Every single American wunderwaffen destroyed by Russian. That is entire Nato against 1 Russia (ok maybe supported by NK Iran and China?). USA natural adavantage? Like isolated? That works against her as well. Just go down to Mexico and have a look. Dominate by Chinese firms all the way to Peru and Brazil. I can pick any Chinese citizens that can speak 2 to 3 languages. It is extremely hard to so to pick Americans like that. In fact depend on locations, you get tons of non-English speakers inside USA. USA couldnt even get enough military recruits since many years. Official military troops are so weak, they have to outsource to security contractors. What about drone game changer? American globalhawks just pissed by SU and crashed. DJI able to outproduce entire NATO drones production by several folds. Military you will find it hard anyone to acknowledge USA now is number 1. Industrially, China is several magnitude of USA. Even so mamy F35 components can be traced back to Russia and China. The titanium and aluminium air frame? And how about gold reserve? Have anyone really believe any gold in Fort Knox? Hint, if you have friends working in Fed, might want to check why so many physical gold being shipped out of USA to Shanghai every month. Even Olympics, you see so many Americans on asthma meds and still lost to Chinese.
