"low atmospheric drones, better military & intelligence ships, better military & Intelligence aircraft, a lot more Humint, the Internet, etc..."

Nope.  Democrats Clinton and Obama (U.S. Law effective until end of 2017) made sure that would not happen.  Example, Democrat President Clinton's 1993 to 2001 Destruction of the U.S. Defense, resulted in the U.S. Intelligence Agencies no longer Funding U.S. Intelligence Assets at other Nations, that took decades to train and covertly inplace into "Hostile Nations", "Potentially Hostile Nations", maybe "Allied Nations", this is how after the 1993 First Osama Bin Laden World Trade Center Attack as caused by Democrat President Clinton's U.S. Airstrikes and U.S. Cruise Missile Attacks against the Muslims at Baghdad Iraq, Democrat President Clinton Lost Osama Bin Laden, so NOPE no HUMINT, maybe a few Decades from now to covertly insert U.S. Funded Local Intelligence Assets Worldwide undetected.

Internet Versus Million Person Chinese Cyber Army.
