Our misadventures in the ME have allowed Russia and China to study and learn how we wage war. They've had 20 years to dissect our tactics and find vulnerabilities to exploit

They've also designed new ways to wage warfare

This is why our humiliation in Afghanistan was such a huge deal. It convinced our enemies now was the time to act. We're seeing that now.
I mostly agree, but what I think you're missing here is that they've studied how we've mastered last century's warfare, but they far surpass us in the conduct of this century's warfare. The US needs a come-to-Jesus moment with how to wage conflict in the modern era. Why Putin would abandon the tremendous advantage he was enjoying in the information war for this misadventure continues to perplex me.
