Key quotes from the recently released bipartisan Commission on the National Defense Strategy. The alarm lights are flashing red. We have to wake up as a nation and back words with action. While past administrations talked about pivots to Asia they did not back it up - the latest defense budget shrank in real terms. Weakness invites aggression. "We are not confident that the U.S. military would succeed in a regional conflict against China." "China is in fact outpacing U.S. defense production and growth in force size and, increasingly, in force capability and is almost certain to continue to do so." "The 2018 National Defense Strategy Commission noted that “the security and wellbeing of the US are at greater risk than at any time in decades. America’s military superiority ... has eroded to a dangerous degree.” In our review, we find that the situation has deteriorated since the 2018 Commission’s report." "We believe that there is a high probability that the next war would be fought across multiple theaters, would involve multiple adversaries, and likely would not be concluded quickly." "The Commission finds that the U.S. defense industrial base (DIB) is unable to meet the equipment, technology, and munitions needs of the United States and its allies and partners." "The U.S. public are largely unaware of the dangers the United States faces or the costs (financial and otherwise) required to adequately prepare. They do not appreciate the strength of China and its partnerships or the ramifications to daily life if a conflict were to erupt." "A bipartisan “call to arms” is urgently needed so that the United States can make the major changes and significant investments now rather than wait for the next Pearl Harbor or 9/11." "The United States is still failing to act with the urgency required, across administrations and without regard to governing party." https://lnkd.in/eFfZck-N.

Bill Alert! US Senate Bill S 5329 - FIGHTING for America Act of 2024 Status: Bill Introduced Full Details: https://lnkd.in/eMzb74cc The FIGHTING for America Act of 2024, also known as Bill 118 s 5329, is a piece of legislation currently being considered by the US Congress. The main goal of this bill is to strengthen America's national security and defense capabilities by increasing funding for the military and implementing new strategies to combat emerging threats. One key aspect of the FIGHTING for America Act is the allocation of additional resources to the Department of D...

"The US, meanwhile, the leader of The West, tries to rally its people behind a program of perpetual war. Around every corner and behind every tree, Americans see their great empire being challenged by evil spirits. They must meet the challenge with ever more sanctions, bombs, guns... Homeland Security, the NSA, FBI, CIA, Seals, snipers... a $2 trillion F-35 fighter plane, and most important, more money." - Bill Bonner 2-Aug-24 Yes. And now, as #RAND has indicated, the USA (bless their cotton socks) wants to bulk up the military to fight and win simultaneous wars with Russia, China, and Iran. Following Lloyd Austin's greenlighting of Israel, the next cab off the rank will be Iran. That one is a cinch. Should be over in 10 days. Australia, like the dutiful lapdog and poodle we are, will follow. U.S. Democracy is clearly a complete and total write-off. Australians need to work hard to salvage ours before it is too late.

I'm very happy to share the article that Jozef Bátora and I authored on the EU's use of contractors in security and defense. We found that while organizational pressures push the EU to follow a path similar to the US in its security and defense outsourcing, the EU is charting its own path of organizational change and customizing its use of contractors to align with its institutional values, mission, and processes for global engagement in security and defense. https://lnkd.in/ejVzVX2N
