Every nation that has ever existed or will ever exist flexes for economic interests. This is not exactly a meaningful criticism to make, because which contender is free of it? None of them. If anything they’re all far worse.
So what value does it bring to the table to work towards stunting the USA’s military capabilities, besides to boost China and Russia?

Whatever your reasoning, having foreign interests, the means to assertion, and reducing carbon footprint are all issues that can be aligned. It's not really helpful to conflate them all unless you're dog-whistling. Fear is not a good motivator.
