Navy Admiral Charles A. Richard said the U.S.' deterrence against China was a 'slowly sinking' ship that needed drastic changes to prepare for future conflicts.
Navy Admiral Charles A. Richard, the commander of the United States Strategic Command , has warned that the war in Ukraine isn't the largest conflict that the U.S. will see right now—it must be prepared for a global conflict involving China.
"We have to do some rapid, fundamental change in the way we approach the defense of this nation," he continued."I will tell you, the current situation is vividly illuminating what nuclear coercion looks like and how you, or how you don't stand up to that., the ship is slowly sinking. It is sinking slowly, but it is sinking, as fundamentally they are putting capability in the field faster than we are," Richard said.
