The building of new carriers by China for protecting their hunks of rock in the South China Sea; Russia with its nuclear war making upgrades; the U.S forced to match - what is the eventual outcome of this process?

Someone needs to be visionary enough to change the direction humanity is headed, and investing on leaving this planet is a win/win for life's and humanity's continued existence.
