A recent US Congress report urges a strategic defensive posture review of simultaneous near-peer conventional and nuclear threats.
This month, the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the US released a report urging the country to be prepared for a two-front conflict against China and Russia.
The report says that US defense strategy and strategic posture must change to properly defend its vital interests and improve strategic stability with the two nuclear-armed adversaries while advocating that critical decisions should be made now to address nuclear threats expected to arise during the 2027-2035 timeframe.
It also assessed that the US needs to address the looming nuclear threat with a comprehensive strategy and force structure adjustments. Although it says the fundamentals of US deterrence strategy remain sound, size and composition adjustments are needed to its nuclear capabilities.
The report also emphasizes the importance of non-nuclear capabilities for the US strategic posture, including strengthened infrastructure and risk reduction efforts. It notes allies and partners are crucial to the US approach in the new emerging threat environment.
The report recommends that the US Congress fund the expansion of the US nuclear weapons defense industrial base and the Department of Energy (DOE)/National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) nuclear security enterprise. It also suggests that Congress should ensure funding stability for the defense industry to respond to innovative Department of Defense (DOD) contracting approaches.
The report’s recommendations include deploying a stronger space architecture with offensive and defensive elements, prioritizing funding for long-range precision strike programs, developing homeland missile defense systems and transferring missile defense responsibility to the Military Departments by October 2024.
The report says that the US should maintain and strengthen its network of alliances and partnerships to deter aggression, ensure regional security and boost economic prosperity through access to international markets.
It warns that withdrawing from these relationships would benefit adversaries, increase the risk of aggression and reduce the US and its allies’ security and economic prosperity.
So, globalism…
bkmk
Thank you, FJB.
This Sh!t would not be happening if Trump was is office!
These ass who’s are leading us to total destruction.
This isn't "Wag the Dog" anymore. It's getting to be Wag the Whole Kennel~!
And then there's this:
Debt Clock
At least the Russian threat looks much reduced in the last 20 months.
You have to wonder if Biden’s strategy isn’t to destroy our military by war.
A comment I read a couple of days ago: “I saw an Army recruiting commercial with a white guy in it. We are going to war.”
That’s probably more telling than any of Biden’s gibberish.
Because the Russians were just so devoted to obliterating us before
Crazy! America being led to doom in an attempt to re-elect a worthless demented traitor and Obama for a fourth term.
Whers the rest of our bankrupt governmet?
Multiple fronts - check
Land war in Asia - check
Never go in against a Sicilian when death is on the line - check.
These ass who’s are leading us to total destruction.
BUILD BACK BETTER, GREAT RESET
They want this...we dont
Yes, Russia’s seeking of dominance and conquering empire never ends, but these last 20 months seem to have been a huge setback for them, if we have to face China, Russia will be less of a threat to us and Europe and our allies are better positioned and unified than they were before the Russia invasion which seems to have awakened the West and NATO in many ways.
Two fronts, china and russia...
What about the one on our southern border?
What about the one on our southern border?

What about the Middle East? Let’s see that makes four hot spots - Ukraine, Taiwan, the Middle East, and our Southern Border. Yellen better crank up the Treasury printing presses.
Well, I don’t think you’ve been paying attention. Perhaps you’re watching too much MSM, but things aren’t even close to what they seem and we’re all in a heap of trouble. Your best bet is make sure your heart is right with Jesus. As for the rest? It’s nowhere near reality.
What about Iran and South Korea—four front war....
What could possibly go wrong?
;-)
As bad as things are, there has been a lot of good news related to Western and Pacific ally military readiness since the Russians got into that quagmire.
