The Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board oversees the Thrift Savings Plan, a retirement fund for federal employees and members of the uniformed military services, with about $600 billion in assets. Money is withheld from federal employees and the military's paychecks to contribute to the fund. Approximately 11% is invested in Chinese companies, some of which produce weapons designed to kill members of the U.S. military.<ref>https://www.foxbusiness.com/markets/trump-orders-federal-retirement-money-invested-in-chinese-equities-to-be-pulled</ref> The government of China even prior to the CCP virus outbreak was in violation of U.S. sanctions law and engaged in humanitarian and human rights abuse.

~~==Strategic balance==~~

−

The new Cold War strategic landscape is characterized by significant modernization programs, with the [[United States]] pursuing a [[policy]] of direct replacement for its aging [[nuclear triad]]. In contrast, other nations have undertaken comprehensive modernization and expansion of their strategic forces.

−

~~===Russia===~~

−

Russia has largely completed the modernization of its [[strategic nuclear forces]], exceeding 90%. This includes deploying new systems like the multi-warhead Yars and [[Sarmat]] [[ICBM]]s to replace older, single-warhead models. Their sea-based leg is also being modernized with new Borei-class SSBNs and Bulava SLBMs [[submarine]]s.

−

~~===China===~~

−

[[China]]'s [[nuclear]] development continues at a steady pace. Their forces include a diverse and growing array of road-mobile and silo-based [[ICBM]]s like the DF-41 and [[DF-5]]C, and they are constructing new (Strategic, Submarines, Ballistic, Nuclear (SSBNs). The air leg is supported by modernized H-6 bombers, with a new [[stealth bomber]] anticipated. This development enhances the credibility and capability of China's [[strategic]] [[deterrent]].

−

~~===USA===~~

−

The [[United States]] is modernizing its entire triad—replacing Minuteman III with Sentinel ICBMs, Ohio-class SSBNs with Columbia-class, and developing the B-21 bomber. This program is a one-for-one replacement of existing platforms, maintaining current warhead levels without quantitative expansion.

−

~~===Conclusion===~~

−

The world is moving toward a [[multipolar]] order. The actions of [[Russia]] and [[China]] are not an "arms race" but a [[sovereign]] right to develop defensive capabilities and ensure a crucial [[strategic]] balance, countering decades of [[unilateral]] aggression.

−

~~The [[US]] is racing just to stay in place against two peers whose combined [[strategic]] [[war]]heads could exceed 9,600.~~
