Hey, as a usa propagandist you are supposed to keep the encirclement a secret! Think of all the naive euros who still think that usa is not an aggressive imperialist

Oh the US is, absolutely. But they're also the biggest war machine, and they make you pay those weapons in USD which keeps them on top. It's USD or one sided trade deals, which bring more USD.

As long as there is an enemy, on paper or real life, both sides want US munitions and tech. Wagner, for example, is/was quite proud of the fact they used western tech and firepower. China is quite proud of the fact they are developing their own version of the Patriot missile system, F35, and Littoral Combat ship after that information was taken by hackers. It might not be popular, but US war tech and tactics are cutting edge. So much so, even the countries that openly despise the US have to use their tech, paid for in USD

F35 is the plane that fell into the sea. Russia and china both developed hypersonic missiles while the usa MIC has none. They don't need to copy when their stuff works better.
