New Arms race between Russian, China, and U.S.A
Introduction
We are currently witnessing salvos opening in the renewed race arms. Most of the time, resources, and energy that are utilized in planning how to pose a defeat to al-Qaida and those groups which share the same interests and desires have always been utilized as a view of the threat that is posed by Russia, china and United States (Door, 2016). Based on the recent investigations and reviews it is clear that the threats have again appeared in the fresh space weapons frontiers that is stirred by the three states. Amongst the fake air attacks, cold war eruption and incursions marine development by the Russians, the Chinese maritime adventurism and the fear that the Ukraine events and those in Crimea are bound to reoccur in the Baltics can be termed as the ongoing threat of the fresh weapons which seeks to weaken the American battlements as well as its general strengths. The fresh kinds of weapons are divided into three major categories which are fresh drones, hypersonic missiles and the systems of antisatellite. The part that wished that the arms race would not occur has already been dumped in the arms history (Door, 2016). China and the Russian state are completely opposing the domination of the world by a state power that is neither of the states. In addition, the Russia and Chinese are attempting to test a space fly warhead based on an odd long-range warhead which exercises via the atmosphere. On the other hand, Beijing and Moscow are conducting a test of space weapons which holds the capability of knocking out the military satellites of America during the nuclear war start. This research will, therefore, seek to establish why the weapons of pursuit will pose a threat to Russia, America, and china from an existential view.
According to, Door, (2016), in his book about the arms race, states that the analysis the hypersonic weapons development generates situations for fresh arms race which would result in the escalation of a nuclear risk. There are different rationales behind why several nations are conducting tests on the weapons. In the context of the United States, the state is generating hypersonic is based on two primary reasons. First, it is mainly because it holds the intention of eradicating the global thermonuclear of the messy war’s danger. The second it is because the state wants to gain the capability of punching via the defensive approaches of peer contestants. It is, however, unfortunate the two reasons are contradictory to each other. This is based on the fact that china, India as well as Russia are heading to attaining the same systems and this calls for the attention of not permitting technology to overtaken by the political outpace (Door, 2016).
In the context of hypersonic weapons, terminology hypersonic is utilized to refer generally to the long range weapons strike precisions which travel at more than Mach 5 of at just Mach 5 (Door, 2016). The definition, however, makes an exclusion of things such as munitions because they are fired by developed gun systems which only travel only sixty miles as well as those weapons that travel under a sound speed. Such weapons that can be termed as ballistic missiles which hold guidance precision like those that are operated by both the Russian and Chinese states are termed as hypersonic weapons. On the other hand, America does not operate any of such weapons types but it effectively provides an equal capability like those that are provided by the fresh hypersonic approaches. For the United States, it is working on generating a hypersonic weapon that is advanced land-based, a long range car that operates within the surrounding in avoiding the occurrence of ballistic arms. With the rise of al Qaeda, the United States hopes of becoming the key of offering security. In addition, the state has already begun an exploration of how the weapons would provide assistance in destroying munitions nuclear (Door, 2016).
Based on James, (2015), in postwar America emphasized that Chinese and the Russian state hold distinct incentives. This is given that Russia fully understands the amputation petition but in rare cases, it has the equal need of striking across the international boundaries. On a similar hand, the Chinese tend to hold a concern that can be categorized as local (James, 2015). The development of Russia and china lies in the detection of anti-access abilities and the growing need of getting at the same level that America is in toady. The hypersonic strike vehicles are bound to provide an indefensible and a potential means that are aligned to attack America, American maritime and military installations.
In short, because the three states are working towards similar goals does not imply that they are working together. This is mainly because china and Russia are primarily working against America because they are against its domination. Russia and china are working towards the same direction based on technological imperatives and the urge to dominate the position that is currently occupied by America (James, 2015).
Johnson-Freese, (2009), in the book about the quest of America to fully dominate space, asserts that the discussion of the conflict of great nation’s power is acceptable today because the conflict has always been there. It was stated that giving much effort towards counterterrorism would result in the enhancing of conflict a mid-huge nation has happened. Russia and china are considered to be a threat based on the much resources and efforts that are utilized in fighting terrorism. Russia is working on exploring arms such as zircon 3k 22 systems and on the other hand china is currently working on the development of 21d Dongfeng which is normally termed as carrier killer of the aircraft. This is possibly the longest ICBM longest range in the entire world currently as far as the development of arms stands. The Russian state is attempting to develop weapons through pursuing submarine drones that are particularly none operated which would give the opportunity of sneaking in the United States ports. It is clear that china and Russia are trying to establish fresh and better means of doing things. The United States, china as well as Russia are now following fresh small and less destructive weapons of nuclear. This development, therefore, threatens the occurrence of cold war arms race (Johnson-Freese, 2009).
According to, Owen, (2006), Moscow is developing large arms which are topped by warheads miniaturized which results in the fear that this may result in the violation of international ban test as it attempts on developing fresh weapons. On the accusation that china has tried to develop a zone of air defense, Beijing’s has continuously maintained that it has the right as a state on building on its own territory and it stated that the island will basically be utilized for the objectives of civilians basically (Owen, 2006).
Schoen, & Kaylan, (2014), in the book about the alignment of China and Russia, states that the states have aligned themselves to oppose America. The two nations are supposed to be involved in the development of similar arms and weapons for several decades. However, it has been established that the attempt of keeping up with the United States by the two nations has continuously failed. The three nations are involved in the development of nuclear and tactical arms which can be termed as non-approached weapons which are purposed for supporting naval, air forces as well as land in those parts that are related closely to friendly military territories. America is working on a guided nuclear bomb and it holds the capability of penetrating several meters below the ground. This weapon is unique because it is not aimed at generating destruction because the bomb is meant to be carried by speed jets with controlled damages to the lives of individuals as well as structures which are significant (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014).
According to, Broad & Sanger, (2016), in the article about the fresh arms race threats, asserts that there is a growing an alignment between china and Russia as they are feeling threatened by the United States unilateralism. Russia, china, and the United States are the world’s representation of the most powerful nations in regard to technology and military power based on history. This, therefore, shows that the association of the three nations would result in numerous benefits to the world and to the nations in terms of development. However, china and Russia still perceives that the collaboration of the two nations is the most effective based on the fact that they believe that one of them should be occupying the position of dominating the world. The collaboration of china and Russia has raised a major threat because the collaboration is mainly based on the opposition against a single state. In addition, it seems that the main reason that the nations are aligning themselves is based on selfish gains which can thus be termed as something that is not fair and logic (Broad & Sanger, 2016).
The alliance is purposed at lowering the authority of American globally and this definitive only to the two nations. The opposition of the three nations, therefore, has thus generated the new arms race today (Broad & Sanger, 2016). This is mainly because the nations are working on the same objective of developing arms that are characterized by less destruction but they cannot work together as each is motivated by different rationales. America is generally involved in the development of the weapons basically because it wants to fight terrorism. On the other hand china and Russia are motivated by technological advancement and the desire of dominating the world by taking over the American first position (Broad & Sanger, 2016).
According to, Singer, & Cole, (2015), currently a naval warhead is being tested which is described as hypersonic glide. This occurrence, therefore, threatens the cold war evolvement between Russian and china against the American state. This is therefore described as a huge measure and evaluation of dynamics which has resulted in the development of Russian economic decline, the development of china which is mainly influenced by technology and the American state’s uncertainties. The presidents of the three states are currently facing intensified blames for permitting the development of arms which are not respecting the arms control authority. In addition, it is felt that the three nations are currently involved in the arms race war because of their personals aims and not mainly for the wellbeing of the general public. With the involved risks of the weapons that are being developed by the nations, it is clear that modernization is being utilized as a mode of offering safety while in a real sense it is the ability of the nations to work against each other. The primary concern of developing these weapons is the involved risks, destructions as well as the nation’s wellbeing. The nations should compete on the grounds of development and not mainly on the quest of attempting the world’s safety and security (Singer, & Cole, 2015).
Concepts
There is an ongoing arms race between China, Russia, and the United States. China and Russia are aligning themselves based on the feeling of United States unilateralism threat (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014). The United States, China, and Russia are the major states that are currently popular with regard to their geographical positions, political, social and economic development. The nations are the most significant and military authoritative nations based on the world’s history. The alignment of Russia and China is an association that is viewed by most studies to be objected on undermining the United States based on its position. The close proximity between the nations has resulted in the frustration of the United States because the nation’s collaboration is associated with a certain degree of strength against a single state (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014). The collaboration between China, America and Russia would result in huge and numerous benefits for all the states as well as a close the global. However, China and Russia believes that their combination is the best association because they are aligned with the same objectives of overtaking the United States and therefore aligning themselves with American would be drawing their purposes behind. The states hold the assumption that the United States is only interested in maintaining its position and thus their interests will never be considered. To them, the combination of the three states would only benefit the United States by gaining more economic and military development thus terming the combination as a crowd (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014).
The alliance between China and Russia is not ultimate for the United States as it undergrads its global authority (Singer, & Cole, 2015). However, America is a powerful nation which has strategic objectives and measures which will work to see its progress. In addition similar to Russia United States has aligned itself with powerful states. Since Russia and China have the opportunity of working with different states this will help in developing its objectives (Singer, & Cole, 2015). Pursue of weapons with fewer destructions by the states is a threat to the development of a cold war which has affected Russia and American while China continuous to grow. The united stated is mainly focusing on generating safety through the utilization of modernization while China is trying to utilize technological development in solving the existing weapons issues. On the other hand, Russia is being blamed as it is developing arms controls which are in turn resulted in nuclear authority shrinking. The major issue in this is mainly grounded on a generation of weapons which holds less destruction (Singer, & Cole, 2015).
Methodology
This research will thus utilize a qualitative research method which will mainly entail historical analysis description. The analysis will involve a description of the arms race between Russia, China, and America as well as the aligning aspects.
Body
Great power conflict is now acceptable to discuss. Since 9/11, those of us who warned that an over-abundance of attention paid to counterterrorism would result in enhancing the myth that great power conflict is over have been proved right. Great power conflict is not back, because it never left. All the time and energy spent on how to defeat al-Qaida and likeminded groups has always been a side-show to the threats that could be posed by a resurgent Russia and rising China (Door, 2016). Finally, it is understood that these threats have reappeared in the new frontier of space weapons. We are now witnessing the opening salvos in this renewed arms race. Amid talk of Cold War-level simulated air attacks and increased naval forays by the Russians, maritime adventurism by the Chinese, and the shadow that the events in the Ukraine and Crimea will be replayed in the Baltics is the looming threat of new weapons that seek to undermine American military strength and defenses. The new categories of weapons fall under three main categories: hypersonic missiles, new drones and anti-satellite systems. The most dangerous of the three is the hypersonic missile: this hypersonic rocket re-enters the atmosphere, then a glider pulls up to fly horizontally, unpowered, for up to thousands of miles at preliminary speeds in the high hypersonic range of Mach 10 to 20 (about 7,000 to 14,000 miles per hour). There is no defense against this type of missile. Aside from speed, the missile can travel close to the ground, and evade defenses; the highly vaunted Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense system is incapable of hitting it (Broad & Sanger 2016).
The new arms race has begun between Russia China and the United States. The three top world super authority nations are in a fresh arms race in developing aircraft and hypersonic missiles (Seedhouse, 2010). In order for the devices to be classified as fully hypertonic aircraft as well as missiles, they are required to have the capability of traveling at Mach 5 which is an approximation of 3800 meters per every hour. The united states have been involved in aircraft testing that has been able to travel to Mach with the use of two hundred and thirty nautical miles per hour. The wave rider X-51 is founded from the underground wing of a bomber referred as B-52. According to the air forces researcher’s base, there is a belief that by the year 2040 the United States will have developed a complete functioning aircraft hypersonic aircraft (Seedhouse, 2010).
The current missiles , as well as aircraft that are being utilized by the united states, are not characterized by high pace as currently required by the military (Roberts, 2016). The united states military desires to gain the capability of hitting targets that are higher and characterized with a higher speed than those that are portrayed by the existing technology. The primary missile that is utilized by united states military is referred as tomahawk missile cruise. The missile is characterized by a fast speed which is 550 meters per every hour. In America’s arsenal, the fastest aircraft is regarded as Raptor F-22. Its primary speed has not been listed officially but based on the suggestions that have recently been made by an expert the Raptor has the ability to top out at the second Mach (Roberts, 2016).
Russia and china are additionally working on technology that is required in developing hypersonic missiles. The primary goal that is held by the both countries is to be able to develop missiles with the capability of generally breaking via the United States missiles ballistic defense system. The two nations are facing the challenges of overcoming the authority that is subjected by the United States (Broad & Sanger, 2016). The nations are therefore faced with the issue and difficulty of attempting to gain full control over the nature of hypersonic missiles. They want to be the ones that develop these missiles instead of the United States. The two nations, therefore, believe that collaboration with the United States is bound to weaken their agenda because America is already holding the top most position (Broad & Sanger, 2016).
Hypersonic missiles are clearly objected and design in order to develop erratic effect in the two states path of flight. The two nations are therefore involved in the design of the missiles based on the fact that the united states missiles system of defense utilizes trajectories that are fixed in order to object defense against those missiles coming against it. America is currently holding the first position globally in terms of military power, the economy as well as political grounds (Broad & Sanger, 2016). This is thus not regarded as a favorable thing for both China and Russia because they want to occupy the position. They, therefore, believe that the position can be occupied by them if the military system of the United States is weakened. This is why the two nations are working of disrupting the missiles defense system of America. The missile developed by the Chinese which is referred as Wu-14 of china has been tested four times as per now based on the recent reports. These intelligent reports also make the statement that the Chinese Wu14 has the capability of traveling 7,000 meters per hour (Sharma, 2011).
On the other hand, the Yu-71 has recently been tested this year and the test results were not efficient. Reports, therefore, make claims that Russia has the ability to develop twenty-four nuclear with hypersonic weapons capability amid the year 2020 and 2015 (Sharma, 2011). The testing of the Chinese missile in the early 2114 notice was recorded by congress which was also accompanied by a joint statement. This statement issued that after defense cuts round have utilized the technological advancement of America to their own gain Russia, china and all the other competitors are continuously pushing for military parity behind the united states. In several cases and particularly the one of fresh arms race development the nations are jumping ahead of America. This circumstance is therefore not objected at demonstrating and promoting peaceful coexistence between nations. This, therefore, called for the need of the United States to develop its technology more than what it is utilizing currently. This is to ensure that the nations do not take advantage of its abilities to use the advantages of it (Sharma, 2011).
Based on the complexity of hypertonic technology there is a growing believe that short variety hypertonic arms are easier to develop as compared to the development of hypersonic weapons that holds the capability of a complete reach by the entire globe (Wall,& Cameron, 2016). The development of hypersonic weapons is claimed to result in a long-term arms race between the super authority nations that are currently engaged. In addition, there is a huge threat to the development of missiles by Russia and china before the United States. This is because their project is based on undermining the general power that is held by the United States. In addition, this may result in destruction and a fall of the military power that is held by the three nations. This will thus result in the cold war as well as violence and the rise of terrorism will rise highly (Wall,& Cameron, 2016).
The world’s strongest powers are currently locked in an invisible struggle in developing killer weapons and thus there are growing claims that the struggle will result in the humanity devastation. The weapons are bound to cause security as well as the destruction of masses (Wall, & Cameron, 2016). The race is currently being led by the United States whose attempts in developing the weapons have proved to yield more success as compared to the two nations. The race is currently being led by America based on its global military and economic dominance. However, the position of the united states in the transforming technology weapons field in the context of developing military arms has encouraged an escalation that is dangerous that is being led by china and Russia. This is a human race that has accumulated a technological amount that is considerable which holds a high capability of drastically changing the general states warfare in the following decade. This is an inclusion of military weapons and it is an initial sign stating that arms robotic race is beginning and this can clearly be seen through the association of the United States-China as well as Russia. This is an invisible war that has for years been occurring in the weapons laboratories and the success of the projects are only shown during illuminated drones festive events (Wall,& Cameron, 2016).
Currently, America utilizes approximately 70 billion dollars on the development and research of weapons more than its primary competitors globally even when they are combined. This, therefore, shows the general seriousness of the whole matter (Wall, 2016). Since the development began up to now the United States has continuously relied on two primary deterrence approaches. This includes the utilization of nuclear weapons as well as directed precision munitions that are supported by the defense of the missile shield. The United States is already making consideration of utilization of military robots in the provision of military services in order to reduce the military forces. However, the state is currently conducting an investigation of the matter in order to establish the complexity of the matter and how the anticipated risks and challenges can be handled. The state considers this as a serious and a sensitive matter that cannot work based on experiment and therefore it requires more practical ideas and ground (Wall, 2016).
The weapons that are currently being developed by the three super authority nations will utilize sea, land as well as the sky as the means of traveling to strike the enemy (Wall, 2016). The weapons are however objected at developing less destruction than those that have been used previously. This is mainly because they are expected to generate safety to everyone who is involved and not destroy resources that have consumed much time and resources to build the primary emerging section that is currently being led by united kingdom and united states is drones development or all other arms that can fully be printed with the utilization of 3D machines which are installed in ships or different bases. The fresh military technology is resulting in the emergence of the arms race and this development may result in a disturbance of the current power balance, global insecurity instability, and intensification of conflict in the global environment (Wall, 2016).
The United States military information holds that the competition that is being raised by Russia and china is not a threat (Sphigel, 2016). The nation stated that it is clear so far in the context of arms development that the technological, scientific, as well as the economic leadership of the state, is one that cannot be contested. Russia and china are however not convinced with these claims and they are currently attempting to copy some of the strategies that are utilized by America in maintaining the leading position. The Russian military has adopted a target program in the procedure of developing machines that are not currently named in the nature of the military robotic system. The complexity of the application of the machine's application has been declared as a major priority by the state. The confidentiality of Russia participating in the arms race development has remained unclear but based on the current arms testing this is a clear demonstration of undeclared participation in the arms competition (Sphigel, 2016).
Currently, the arms race can be described as a supremacy competition in the warfare of nuclear that is occurring amid the United States and the Soviet Union as well as all the respective companies of the cold war (Chatterji, Bo, Misra, & Isard, 2011). In the growing signs of an occurrence of cold war chin is currently involved in the development of a collection of aggressive and self-justifying weapons in preparation of a hypothetical disagreement with America. in the few recent months, there has been a growing tension between the three supreme states which is currently in a new and in a very high height. In the context of china’s south sea Beijing as well as Washington states are the current artificial islands construction loggerheads. This is because the United States holds the concern that china in its construction was fully attempting to establish an air section to offer it defense. The eastern sea presents Beijing and Tokyo as the primary odds based on the construction of Senakkau highland (Chatterji, Bo, Misra, & Isard, 2011). This is a party conflict that is being influenced by the pressure that is given by the United States to all its allies into being very careful with the developing influence of Chinese state. It has thus been noted recently that china has been continuously involved in missiles stocking for years based on the fear of the united states aggression move. The ballistic missiles that are being developed by Beijing are growing slowly and currently the missiles that it has developed holds the capability of transporting nuclear payloads (Chatterji, Bo, Misra, & Isard, 2011).
In addition, Beijing has been involved in a secret development of a powerful hypersonic missile that is called the DF-ZF vehicle glide which works through the ascending of the atmospheric upper section in the quest of bypassing all the protection antimissile organizations (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014). Beijing is currently developing its missiles defenses because the United States is working on deploying a high attitude defense terminal. Developing suitable and capable defense arms is a requirement for China and Russia in order to maintain its state’s security as well as develop its general defense capabilities. in addition, the quest of the two-state to dominate over the united states requires more military efforts as the united states have achieved so much currently (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014). The nations have to be willing to spend even more because the military technology is an investment that requires more resources and finances. The states must, therefore, develop technological defense as well as the economy simultaneously because of the ability to offer adequate power lies on resources (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014).
Despite the fact that china has continuously engaged in secret arms development, in the recent Beijing is transforming to publicity in regard to missiles abilities (Rosenburg, & Markoff, 2016). As intended, American has already taken its general course. the escalation between the three states is not bound to end soon because all the states are fully interested in authority and military power dominance. This, therefore, implies that the arms race cannot be evicted. Despite the fact that a cold war may occur this does not seem to be an issue as the primary issue is when the problem is bound to happen (Rosenburg, & Markoff, 2016).
With the association of China and Russia in order to work against the united states, the nation has developed a fresh technological weapon that is aimed at handling the weapons threat that the two nations subjects. The United States has thus developed very high ultra-pace missiles. The united stated forces have stated that this utilizes more than 71 billion weapons development and research (Rosenburg, & Markoff, 2016). The nations are currently funding fresh hypersonic weapons that hold the capability of flying for more than five times in regard to the speed that is traveled by sound.
Russia has made the emphasis that nuclear weapons serves a central function in the provision of state security (Sphigel, 2016). This is despite the fact that it is currently experiencing a financial budget shortage. Russia is currently trying to increase its general nuclear weapons investment by upgrading and modernizing those that it has. The state is, therefore, making preparations to introduce nuclear weapons liquid fuel that holds less survivability and has an offensive power of firing. It has been involved in several military practices which involve nuclear weapons, frequency increase and a strategic geographical scope (Sphigel, 2016). This development is considered by the western nations as a death threat. This is mainly because the weapons are characterized by the high power that may result in a disruption of power. However, the United States is said to be focusing on the development of nuclear weapons characterized more usability and flexibility. The state plans on the application of the weapons in fewer wars to increase the general flexibility. The state is currently in a critical situation as it is expected to make decisions on how it shall upgrade the next development generation. This has resulted in the interpretation by western nations and the united states that the effort that is put by Russia in developing nuclear weapons are more based on generating an arms nuclear expansion. Russia has thus released that it holds less military strength and in turn, it is relying on arms deterrent. The strategic interests of the three states are thus different based on their distinct needs. China is using its rapid growth to copy and take advantage of the United States to overtake it. Russia is mainly motivated by its existing security dilemma based on the fact that it has less support (Sphigel, 2016).
Hypersonic weapons are presented as the technology cutting edge and the involved missiles by the three nations are objected at traveling in the border that exist between air and the space of Mach 5 as well as Mach 10 which is approximately more than 3800 miles. The weapons are currently presenting increased engineering challenges based on the issues that are linked to high-speed fighting. In addition, the ability to develop equipment that can overcome increased speed that is caused by high-speed friction is a challenge (Rosenburg, & Markoff, 2016).
The development of china missiles is said to be capable of defeating missiles and air that are growly being deployed across the world (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014). Russia is currently creating hypersonic arms that hold high element priority of large scale that is developed by Moscow of both nuclear and forces that are conventional. Officials in Russia made the statement that the arms will be utilized in ensuring that a defeat against the United States defenses arms is achieved. It is true that hypersonic weapons give benefits in four different areas for the combat forces in the United States. The missiles have the capability of striking authority at a high range without the occurrence of victim falls thus increasing the sophistication of defenses. This helps in the creation of fresh opportunities thus enhancing future operations for the states (Schoen, & Kaylan, 2014).
The rapid missile's development is argued to result in different negative effects in the near future for the nations involved as well as the global security (Boyle, 2015). Based on the threat that is being promoted by Russia and china’s hypersonic development it is clear that the United States is not ready to lose the growing competition. The developments of the arms will result in high risks towards the land-sea as well as the air. The three nations have currently been silent on what they are engaging in. there seemed to be a resolution of the major dispute that occurred in regard to nuclear missiles intermediate in 1987 in Europe. However, there is a rise of arms disagreement that is occurring between Russia, China, and the United States because all the states want to be in domination. Russia and china are working together in order to win and defeat the United States which has long been in domination. This poses an acute threat which cannot be overcome easily unless the strategic intentions are aligned together. However, this cannot be achieved because Russia and china claim that the United States will weaken their ability to achieve that what they want (Boyle, 2015).
The conflict between the three supreme states has not been declared publicly but it is blazing their association slowly. The relationship between America, China and Russia is becoming increasingly hostile in the recent years (Walton, & Gray, 2013). It is clear if the three involved nations are not careful about their actions the issue of nuclear warheads and arms quarrel that has been forgotten for a while now will be back soon in Europe. This will result in the immeasurable destruction of humanity and global security. The race of arms is portraying a major agreement of disarmament and based on the perception of the European states this is perhaps the most significant deal at all times. It has for long been claimed that Russia is continuously violating the nuclear forces middle range agreement. Those in Washington have continuously stated that their nations cannot watch as Russia violates the agreement (Walton, & Gray, 2013).
The ongoing arms race is a denotation of a high increase in the number and quality of military authority instruments by the rivaling states (Rosefielde, 2004). The initial arms race occurred when France and Russia were involved in challenging Britain’s naval superiority in the 19th century. Building up the arms far is bound to be characterized by n occurrence of the cold war as well as global destruction on security. The three states are currently leading in terms of economic and military development. An occurrence of conflict between the states will generally affect relationship wellness as well as innovation. Most interpretation holds that Russia is in the wrong as it is using the race wrong and for the wrong objective. Russia is thus unable to deny that it holds aggressive ambitions against American and that is the reason why it has formed an association with china which has similar interests (Rosefielde, 2004).
It is argued that the United States is mainly focused on maintaining its unilateralism position through the development of weapons as it feels that al-Qaida and additional groups are a threat to its development objectives (Chatterji, Bo, Misra, & Isard, 2011). However, the state is mainly focused on generating safety more than protecting its position. In this, Russia and China feel that they are not incorporated because they are focused on occupying the power state position. China and Russia are both aligning themselves together because they hold the sensation of feeling threatened by the unilateralism of United States. Russia, china, as well as America, are a representation of the most popular, geographically huge, economically authoritative as well as military important nation in the world’s history. This alliance is bound to undermine the American power globally which is not ultimate for the American nation (Chatterji, Bo, Misra, & Isard, 2011).
Conclusion
It is clear that China, United States, and Russia are engaged in a race or arms. The three nations hold similar and differing objectives which are causing major divisions. Russia and China aligned are based on the sensation threat that the United States is working on maintaining its unilateralism position through developing weapons. The competition between the three states may not be avoided since they are among the most power nations and thus they cannot abandon their economic, technological and military development strategies. It is obvious that the development of the arms race will result in global effects as the states are the most authoritative. The arms race is a major threat to the wellness of the three states and the race is stirred mainly by state’s personal desires. The alignment of Russia and China is thus expected to undermine the authority of the United States as a power state.
