It looks like we have more aircraft carriers than anyone else though. Surprised Russia and China only have one each and Russia's is being repaired due to fire. Didn't the Japanese have several carriers in WWII and they were supposed to make battleships obsolete.

US should do more to reign in territorial expansion and ambitions of both countries. Russia annexed Crimea and is controlling the arctic region and China is expanding into the South China Sea well beyond its coastline and into Vietnam and Philippines waters as well as the Belt and Road initiative allowing them to sign 99 year leases on foreign territories when the countries they lend to can't pay back loans. Seems like predatory lending to me.
