Washington, due to bureaucracy and fear of risks, is extremely slow to act in the military sphere in competition with Moscow and Beijing.
This was stated by the American General John Hyten.
According to him, it would be possible to increase combat power at such a pace if the United States did not have potential opponents. However, according to Hyten, this is not the case. He believes that the greatest threat to the country is China, but there is also a danger allegedly coming from Russia, which has significant nuclear forces.
According to experts, America lags behind the Russian Federation and China primarily in the field of hypersound and modernization of nuclear potential. Moreover, the United States will not be able to catch up with these two powers, since Washington does not have the necessary technologies, analysts believe.
The United States, due to bureaucracy and fear of risks, is extremely slow to modernize its combat capabilities in the conditions of competition with Russia and China in the military sphere. This was stated by the deputy head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the US Armed Forces, General John Hyten, speaking at a video conference organized by the Brookings Institution in Washington.
"The problem is that we are still moving incredibly slowly," the National Defense publication quotes Hyten as saying, RT says. "Everything is bureaucratic, and we avoid risks."
