U.S. Defense Strategy Needs To Pay More Attention To Russia’s Rising Threat In Europe

I write about national security, especially its business dimensions.
America’s military has become obsessed with China, to the exclusion of other dangers that could prove more urgent during President Biden’s time in office.
Concern about China’s rise is certainly justified, but Beijing’s main geopolitical objective right now is securing control of Taiwan, which it views as a wayward province.
Once you get beyond the vulnerability of that island nation, geography limits the scope of what Beijing’s military can do in its own neighborhood; oceans, mountains and deserts would impede any move to seize adjacent territory.
