USA seriously reconsider its military strategy.
The fight against terrorism is no longer priority No. 1, said last Friday, January 19, after more than 16 years after the tragedy of 11 September, the Minister of defense of Jim Mattis.
Speaking in Washington, Mattis said that the main priority of the military Department will maintain military superiority over China and Russia, the BBC reports.
According to the Minister of defense, the U.S. was faced with «increasing threats from revisionist States such as China and Russia.» According to the Pentagon, over the last 20 years China to counter the American actions in the Western Pacific ocean annually has increased defense spending by 10%. China «very quickly upgraded its missile power, and the American bases in Japan are located within the lesion of these missiles,» the report said military analysts.
America’s advantage was undermined in part because that country has been fighting for the last 16 years. «We lost the lead everywhere: in the air, on land, at sea, in space and in cyberspace,» said Mattis.
«No enemy has done more damage to the strength of the American forces than the inability of Congress to agree on budget», — said the Minister of defence.
