Why the U.S. Government Is No Longer Capable of Ensuring National Security

Russell W. GlennIan M. Sullivan

The U.S. government as currently structured and regulated is unable to guarantee the security of its country. This is true both in terms of wars involving combat with a peer or near-peer competitor and what we will here call “conditional-peer” threats, those able (A) to challenge or exceed U.S. capabilities, (B) in one or more functional or geographical arenas, but (C) not across all or most such spheres.

An illegal "army" is approaching from the south.
What will be done about it?

What happens there will be a harbinger of many more "armies to come"...
