Chinese strategists are thinking how to win a nuclear war. What is the U.S. doing?

Of course President Obama does not want any more nuclear powers in Asia. But his policies are hastening that reality.

While President Obama's decision to deny Taiwan a credible air force adds to Taipei's defense burdens, all may not be lost. Washington and Taipei are hinting at combined work on a new Taiwan defense policy.

Because of the Obama administration's reluctance to confront this looming threat, others—such as the Republican presidential candidates—must begin preparing the case for a military strike to destroy Iran's nuclear program.

Conventional wisdom holds that the Navy and Air Force escaped the budget drill mostly intact while the Army endured the bulk of cuts. But the truth is that all of the services are shrinking and aging under the Obama budget.

With hindsight, perhaps Cameron’s decision to intervene militarily in Libya to prevent a humanitarian disaster and remove Muammar Gaddafi’s regime should not have been a surprise to anyone.

To defend US interests in the Asia-Pacific region, policymakers must ensure the nation has the necessary air power capabilities to contend with the vast distances, limited basing options, and pronounced threat to assured success.

The United States has been in an extended "defense drawdown" since the end of the Cold War, reaping substantial "peace dividends" throughout the Clinton years, during the Obama years, and now under the Budget Control Act.
