Here is a useful site to follow the money.
Chinese used to be called the Jews of the east. They are laughing all the way to the bank while the US builds bases all over and pisses away money. I read that in the past years US spent 300B on Ukraine. No return on that investment. Romans used to get a return on their military. Gold. Wheat. Slaves. I am not saying US govt is evil but stupid.
In some of these places China is building infrastructure as an investment with a return. US backs insurgents to disrupt this in some places. No return on that investment.

Trump launched 80+ cruise missiles into a mostly empty Syrian air base in response to a Syrian gas attack that never happened. US gets zero in return.
