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.

The structure of our nuclear forces today was determined during a very different geopolitical moment.”

“I commend President Trump for taking decisive action with the goal of eliminating Iran’s nuclear weapons capability.
