Do you think that China and Russia in the future can surpass the United States militarily?

[Dragoon]

Same as others have said:
China might surpass USA, Russia probably no due to demographics/economy.

China yes, i think our kids should learn chinese instead of english. 40 years later if Apricity is still exist, everyone will use the chinese language.

I just do not hope China to become even as close to EU in military power, let alone the USA. But bankers have their opinions, also they have their own variety in ideologies too, including my own disciples in OROS, let them be my hand, be your hand and everybody`s. Learning chinese is much welcomed, hopefully will be less compelled by dry businesses or force than cultural attractions.

China will never surpass USA, but Russia already did.
At this very moment Russia is the strongest country in the world, both military and economically,
China's strenght is just due to her massive demography, they lack natural resoucres (Oil,Gas,Metals,Woods etc), Russia has huge natural resources and has the most advanced military technology in the world.
Russian nominal GPD is low just because Russian central bank keep artificial the russian currency low.
For the record, all chinese's military technology comes from Russia.
However in this moment Russia and China are allied against USA.

Alliance with Russia not for the end of the world, Russia is neither nationalist nor christian like many fools imagine them to be. The western alliance itself is loose and depending on antagonism with Russia. But one thing to note is if Russia has taken Mariupol, the underground facility there would make Ukraine impossible to retake the city ever again. Culturally Russia is more conditioned to be a power substitute for the USA, putting that status on China is a suicide for China. It is more feasible for China to maintain a permanent politico-economic partnership with the west and others without much interfering into geopolitics, which is quite stupid as to me. A kind of self-centered static revolutionism in global relations is my proposition for China.

I think Russia and China need to be allies against USA because they have both advantages.
Russia and China control the eurasian ''hearthland'', that's why during the cold war USA tried to divide them.

The USA is a sham imperialism scarecrow for people, the true imperialists are Russia and China, Europe and Japan and internationalists hidden behind the governments. Russia will turn China enemy very soon without USA, the USA is rather the buffer between imperialists.

They won't, because Chinese culture is nothing like Anglo-Saxon one. Chinese culture is insular and self-centered, not expansive like western one.
China will absolutely surpass USA, but it will never have cultural impact of the west nor will Chinese be spoken by average Joe.

I think the same thing but with a different approach. There will be a strong resistance againts Chinese, which was not the case during Anglo-Saxon expansion. The only thing which makes me think carefully is if Usa becomes a black-majority country, Chinese could be seen as a better option.

Who knows? Nobody thought in the 13. century that english will be the dominant language in the world. Many people learn the chinese language their number will be more year by year. But it will not happens in our life i think.
