The important question is how powerful is the USAF..??
Can the mighty USAF attack our enemies and defend the Continental U.S including Alaska & Hawaii at the same time..??
What will happen if worse case scenario, the Russian & Chinese Air forces attack the Continental U.S at the same time, will the USAF have the strength to stop such a attack..??
These are questions I'm always asking myself, not how big but what if or what is the strength & weaknesses of such a force... Is it only suitable in attacking but what about defending the USA & it's allies...

That will never happen, why would the Chinese bother to fight with Russia, and Russia with the Chinese? If it came to a shooting war between the US and either one, the other will go neutral and sit on the fence to watch. That neutral power would possibly join in on the winning side when that outcome looks certain.
I wonder how many they have in all... Must be like... 2000!

You are correct, it won't. And one of the primary reasons it won't is because the "big stick" the U.S. carries is not the USAF, it's our nuclear submarine fleet. In the event of any conflict that threatened the very existence of the nation, neither the Chinese nor the Russians, or both combined and working together could succeed in hunting down every one of our nuclear armed and powered subs, and they are well aware of this fact. The U.S. would retaliate with a massive nuclear response, and the Chinese and Russians both would soon find a bunch of their major cities and military assets glowing in the dark.
The chart shows the aircraft, but not the stockpiled arsenal. The US has a HUGE arsenal of missiles, ammo and bombs, far more than both Russia and China combined. Much of it is stand-off weaponry, not necessitating dog-fighting nonsense. So even with their fancy canards and thrust-vectoring exhaust nozzles, the Sukhois are still vulnerable to a missile up the tailpipe. Another challenge would be how the heck to move the entire air forces of both countries overseas...they don't have near the transport or refueling capacity as the US. And I imagine that radar and SAMs would be on hand to cull the herd. Soooo, no, no mass attack on the US, ala "Red Dawn".
