The US aren't at war with Russia.

Sure, they're helping an ally in a De facto war against Russia, but currently the us spends more on "defense" than both Russia and China combined, when it is technically at peace. In case of a war with China, are you expecting the military budget to not increase at all?

How do you stay at peace? A strong deterrence.

The US has the strongest deterrence in the history of the world, and it's constantly at war.
