Washington Must Prepare for War With Both Russia and China

Pivoting to Asia and forgetting about Europe isn’t an option.

Foreign Policy

deputy director of Atlantic Council’s strategy branch writing a thinkpiece with suggestions such as “the United States could go so far as to double defense spending” [sic], “European allies should invest in armor and artillery while Asian allies buy naval mines, harpoon missiles, and submarines”, and “Washington could always take a page from its Cold War playbook and rely more heavily on nuclear weapons to offset the local, conventional advantages of its rivals. […] Similarly, the United States could rely on threatening nonstrategic nuclear strikes” (18 Feb 22)

I love how the washington consensus is coalescing around losing two land wars in Asia simultaneously

Don’t forget Iran!
