The New War - When nerdy boys kill off American Rambos by pushing buttons

Playing the same game as the USA risks being left behind in military power upgrading, when the USA already has such a large number of nuclear weapons piled up over the decades. And the USA is already using bodies like the IAEA to monitor and control others from having nuclear weapons so that the USA can continue to dominate.

China has seen the whole picture of the futility of just aping the USA's arms buildup that crippled the former Soviet Union. Just building up nuclear devices does not solve the problem with rules dictated by the West. China has moved into new territory of military development - drone carriers, hypersonic missiles, electronic jammers that cripples communication between military assets, robots in place of human soldiers. That is going to be a different war that is coming, just like WW1 when tanks dictate the outcome and being different from WW2 when fighter planes and aircraft carriers did the dictating in terms of weaponry and tactics. The next war will be centered on drones, hypersonic missiles with aircraft carriers playing a diminishing role.
