Reuters: US must be ready for simultaneous wars with China, Russia, report says
WASHINGTON (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.
A senior official involved in the report declined to say if the panel's intelligence briefings showed any Chinese and Russian nuclear weapons cooperation.
"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.

/Good times.
Sleep walking into war everybody now
Good great
The US won’t survive a major confrontation with China. Even a minor skirmish in the SCS will collapse trade and with it the economies of Canada and the United States. Lawlessness is already a major threat internally. Could you imagine empty Walmarts across North America?

They can't occupy China bit can they sink the Chinese Navy and dominate the air?..yes
@2:40am: like I said, who cares that we can dominate the SCS when the US is burning itself to the ground. Without cheap Chinese shit or cheap anything being imported, we’re screwed.
The US could not defeat North Vietnam when it's military was relatively strong or Afghanistan more recently. The US military is now infiltrated by leftists seeking to divide and weaken it internally, with females and homosexuals placed in positions of power. The US military could not defeat China or Russia. It had better not try to--but with incompetent civilian leadership guiding international affairs, a military disaster is looming for the USA just over the horizon.
They say the "US" must be PREPARED for a dual war. China response is that the "US" must die by fire? What? Kinda over the top.. with that attitude everyone should be prepared to fight China. Gj unitng us.
Tell us, general, is it party time?
If it is, can we all come?
Men at work...it's a mistake
