Remember that the US has to have an enemy. Our MIC depends on it. Actual our economy as a whole depends on it.
Terrorism is not working out and besides you don't need high dollar equipment development for fight terrorists.
China is not cooperating as they are pretty much sticking to their own waters and spending their time making money
North Korea is still the JV of international threats so no funding there.
That leaves the ole reliable Soviet Union/Russia. Always good for a few trillion in new development.
