A bipartisan commission found that the current US strategy leaves the US unprepared for a major war
- Every four years, the president lays out a national security vision; the Defense Department then creates a strategy to achieve it, and Congress orders a bipartisan committee to assess that strategy in a report
- That report was released this week
- It found the current strategy will leave the US ill-prepared for a major war; that the risk of major war is the highest it’s been since 1945; and that the US industrial base is “grossly inadequate” and “the US public…largely unaware of the dangers [and costs] the US faces”

- The commission warned that China’s military is approaching the US’ “capability,” that its space and cyber capabilities are on par with the US, and that China appears on track to meet its goal of being able to invade Taiwan by 2027
- It also warned that American strategy had misinterpreted the threat posed by Russia, considering it “acute” rather than “chronic”
- And it warned that the growing ties between China, Russia, North Korea, and Iran increase the odds that a major war wouldn’t be contained to any one region
Pfttt! China's military is nowhere close to our diversity and opportunity, I bet they don't even lower standards so women can be in the infantry. How can they compete with that?
