The United States must step up its military modernisation to enhance its conventional and nuclear forces and ensure it is ready for the possibility of simultaneous wars with China and Russia, a congressional commission evaluating the US’s strategic posture has said.
Releasing its report (PDF) on Thursday in the US, the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States described the current global environment as “fundamentally different [to] anything experienced in the past, even in the darkest days of the Cold War”.
The bipartisan panel of six Democrats and six Republicans called for urgent and immediate action to address the threats facing the US. Their report followed a year-long review of US conventional and nuclear forces and comes 14 years after the last major review was published in 2009.
“Today, the United States is on the cusp of having not one, but two nuclear peer adversaries, each with ambitions to change the international status quo, by force, if necessary: a situation which the United States did not anticipate and for which it is not prepared,” commission chair Madelyn Creedon and vice chair Jon Kyl wrote in their introduction to the report.

We are screwed.
What would we do without Congressional Commissions?
“The bipartisan panel of six Democrats and six Republicans called for urgent and immediate action to address the threats facing the US.”
There’s only one answer: MORE WOKE!
We’re not ready to fight Costa Rica.
The biggest threat facing Americans is the American government.
And Iran! A three front world war! NATO exhausted its abilities playing tiddlywinks with the Russians in Ukraine. Three or two front war, don’t make me laugh.
Armageddon.
It will happen
Lol, they don’t even have a military. Sounds about right.
What America needs is a 100% merit based society.
All scientific research to be done via a pool of double blind funding.
All illegals sent back.
The military needs to be able to fight Russia, China, Iran and North Korea all at the same time....but don’t worry those rainbow flags will make them all run away....
US steel production is now ten percent of China.
Raytheon says they have thousands of Chinese subcontractors and can’t decouple from China.
It’s already over. The de-industrialization and offshoring decisions were made decades ago.
The USA Intel Swamp needs to get with reality and start planning based on actual USA capabilities. Not fantasies and delusions.
“The military needs to be able to fight Russia, China, Iran and North Korea all at the same time...”
You forgot Serbia, Nicaragua, Venezuela, Cuba and probably some more if the USA looks weak.
We are not ready to fight a dead new York sewer rat. Our commander and chief will be asleep at the switch.
Our transsexuals are more than a match for any transsexuals in the world, and they will do all the fighting.
And Canada. They already rolled.
And Canada. They already rolled.
You beat me to it. I was going to suggest a losing battle with the Bahamas.
This US is not even ready for a hot war with Haiti or Quebec.
As the experts say we need more modernization, let me suggest the modernization of who wears the pants in the military. You want a more effective fighting force then don’t let people with peckers wear dresses and makeup. Kick their asses out of the military. Recruit men who can do push-ups and climb ropes. What a novel thought!
