Call their bluff and ram 'em. I bet you my entire net worth the US isn't gonna respond kinetically, just word salads and toothless sanctions or maybe not even the sanctions. Marcos needs a reality check real quick.

Why can't the US just say "we have enough nukes, we don't need to have the same amount of warheads"?
Unfortunately I don't think building cheap Russian nukes can force America to overextend its military budget and go bankrupt.
Likely America will never be free of "burdens" because there is no incentive limitation for China not to make new burdens as time goes along. And with the world's largest economy combined with a host of countries that started out as America hating to begin with to use as proxies, there isn't any capability limitation on creating new burdens either.
Right now there's not nearly enough overlap between the Ukraine and Russia positions to allow a peace which both would feel is acceptable.
If China is to force peace here, it would need to heavily threaten both sides, which means it enrages both sides in the long term. Not a good option.
So I believe the talks of creating a peace draft is just laying the most basic groundwork, finding points of commonality between the 2 sides. Political theater. And then later when people are actually exhausted enough to make compromises, more concrete terms will come.
Looks like it's official: Chinese President Xi Jinping plans to visit Moscow for a summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin. The visit is scheduled for April or May.
If the visit happens in May, perhaps Xi can be present for the May 9 Victory Day Parade in the Moscow Red Square?

Yet another one in Medley, Florida.
That never worked during the Cold War. Without a ABM treaty in place you want as many warheads as possible.
That isn't the point of a nuclear build up, nuclear weapons are by far the most cost effective military weapon. The point is to ensure you win a nuclear war.
Blah blah blah... If a self-inflicted economic crisis+recession combo is what it takes to stall WW3 between the US and China for even just a couple years, I hope China will do so.
Apparently the US is still "willing" to not let nuclear arms race resume?
While Washington DC is hysterically jumping up-and-down WRT "saynshion Rhashia!!!", Beijing and Moscow are cooperating and coordinating their next moves:

It is right there. step by step which is definition of a long conflict. it took him a year to mention what was already known.
mass production of new weopons. i am sure they want to test it in prolong conflict closer to realistic conditions.
Russia is much more powerfull state than Soviet Union by every measure. pay attention to Arabs and Israelis that matters.
certain things are visible like Israel drone sales to Russia some are not.
i will even speculate that this Ukraine conflict will make Europe so weak that it will be more beholden to interests of Middleast which already is. from airline routes to foot ball clubs to supply hardware to Israel chip industries.
did any European comes to France rescue on Aukus deal?
Yes you can to some degrees. Obviously the electronics cannot be 3D printed, but most of the frames can be done. In fact, a lot of DIY printer plans use this strategy to reduce the amount of parts that need to be initially purchased. Even more established brands like Prusa use this strategy in-house:
