WASHINGTON, Oct 12 (Reuters) - The United States must prepare for possible simultaneous wars with Russia and China by expanding its conventional forces, strengthening alliances and enhancing its nuclear weapons modernization program, a congressionally appointed bipartisan panel said on Thursday.
The report from the Strategic Posture Commission comes amid tensions with China over Taiwan and other issues and worsening frictions with Russia over its invasion of Ukraine.
“We worry ... there may be ultimate coordination between them in some way, which gets us to this two-war construct,” the official said on condition of anonymity.
The findings would upend current U.S. national security strategy calling for winning one conflict while deterring another and require huge defense spending increases with uncertain congressional support.
Timing of this Reuters article could be suspicious.
War...
How convenient. The U S. strategic oil reserves are at an all time low.

doubling down on stupid. A fellow named Duduman gave a prophecy in 96 gave that same scenario. Taiwan blockades Taiwan and attacks, the US sends it's fleet, Russia launches missiles over the north pole. I sure hope not. We sure have been acting stupid.
