It's all fun and games till someone's embassy gets bombed by accident. The Chinese played these games as well and we accidentally bombed their embassy. The Chinese stopped their flybys after that.
I don't really agree with what our country does with our military, but there isn't anything China or Russia is going to do that will stop us. Neither has the ability to project military force around the world like the US can. That means both Russia and China can be thugs to an extent in their regions of local interest but not much more beyond that. The US is still and will be for some time the biggest kid/bully in the schoolyard.
