Elbridge Colby This is very much a European lecturing America on the speck in our eye while ignoring the log in his own eye.
But by acknowledging πΊπ² limits now he's conceding that primacists aren't living in 2024 & we need to prioritize.
Elbridge Colby John Walters Hudson Institute I read the Clark & Patt 'Hedging Bets' report in detail. My review:
1. To the extent it advocates asymmetric higher value forces, I agree. It's not new.
2. I disagree with the choice of forces: TB2-like drones, drone torpedoes, boat drones, & stingers. *ππ»

Robert Greenway Elbridge Colby The point here is that China is fully aware of its strategic vulnerabilities on energy & food. π¨π³ is investing heavily to mitigate these dependencies to the point of irrelevance in any future war. By 2025, let alone 2027, these will be non issues strategically.
Robert Greenway Elbridge Colby I wish this was accurate but the factual basis here is all wrong:
1. π·πΊπ¨π³ have pipelines & are building more capacity
2. π¨π³ is building up stockpiles
3. π¨π³ is prioritizing reducing demand with EVs & coal
4. π¨π³ military will have deep reserves by rationing the civilian sector
