Does tightening military ties with China, Russia bring ‘happiness’?

Although I am only a part-time resident of this beautiful country, I feel the urge to speak out on the government’s efforts to abide by the simple wish of the majority for a better life.

If its aim is really to establish a free and happy society, why is the “military protectorate” spending so much time bartering with the likes of Russia and China for more weapons? Shouldn’t it limit itself to maintaining the status quo until a “real” government, elected by the people, arrives to decide if it wants to do business with Moscow and Beijing, who are making strong militaristic moves in Eastern Europe and the South China Sea, respectively?
