Whats the alternative, let China and Russia build up the technology and we stay in the past? The US has the largest military because its the reserve currency, they print money and export their inflation and they spend that money on military expenditures, which prevents people from moving off USD. This then lets them sanction other countries and control the worlds shipping lanes, so asking them to stop developing their military is asking for the existing global order to cease to exist, and then you're at the whims of whatever power fills that void.
