Based on the battle experience and history of both countries plus the military spending of America.
Anyone who's done anything competitive ever knows the value of experience, and America has a fuck load of experience of fighting across the world and experience with all kinds of weaponry ranging from nukes to subtle espionage.
It would be interesting to see what alliances would be made. Russia would probably be laughing along with a large majority of the Muslim middle east.
Based on what I remember from my days in the Islamic forums they would pray for horrible things to happen to China nearly as much as America.
Ye've fuck all experience against a well equipped, motivated and modern army. And thearmy's experience against half trained and idiotically lead insurgents doesn't give me the warm and fuzzies that the army's leadership is up to anything much other than feathering their own retirement nests.
As minimalist has said, quite a lot of the spending difference is pork barrel and corporate welfare, another huge chunk goes into the category of "we haven't afucking clue" (which likely means bribery and other corrupt payments). I think ye're overestimating theUS's position quite a bit here.
