In a column titled “The Distracted Defense Department” written by Nadia Schadlow, the Wall Street Journal criticizes the current focus of the U.S. Defense Department.
It says that “Pentagon leaders wasted time and resources developing a climate strategy" that was released this month.
The warning of WSJ remarks that meanwhile China is spreading its threat against Taiwan.
WSJ adds: “The Chinese Communist Party, unlike climate change and Covid-19, is an opponent that makes choices to advance its goals. That is why defense experts consider China a “pacing threat.” China has modernized its armed forces to deny others access to the island chain running from Japan through Taiwan down to Singapore. This makes it more difficult for the U.S. military to project power in the area. In recent months, China has sent dozens of aircraft into Taiwan’s air-defense identification zone. It has developed weapons systems, such as hypersonic missiles and cyber capabilities, and is expanding its nuclear arsenal.”
In my opinion, it looks like the US Defense Department is losing time and resources in issues of other government departments.
