ICYMI: Fischer Prescribes U.S. Strategic Deterrence Strategy for Indo-Pacific

"For the first time in history, the United States faces two peer nuclear adversaries at once. In addition to Russia, China is expanding its nuclear arsenal at a breathtaking pace – consistently exceeding U.S. estimates. China is building new missile silos, increasing its warhead stockpile, and rapidly developing the full range of nuclear delivery systems. This is not the strategic environment we planned for. The structure of our nuclear forces today was determined during a very different geopolitical moment."
