I had read this article a couple of days ago and it is an excellent reminder of how bad things were 3 years ago, and how this Russian war has woken us up and put these issues front and center, and wonderfully during peacetime rather than being exposed while being in a major war against China or Russia when it could mean the loss of the war and our nation.
Not just America, but the rest of NATO and our Pacific allies like Japan, Australia, South Korea, all of our friends and allies have seen the lessons as we all observe this massive European war and so far we have had 3 years to improve our situations and dig ourselves out of the holes we didn’t even know we had, it is better to learn about shortcomings before you are thrown into the desperate need for the fixes, when you can do nothing about them.
Old Cold Warrior here. I’m seeing the problems. But I’m not seeing the waking up at any practical levels. I hope you are right.
