shrinking or even staying the same size,
service leaders say. Instead, it actually
needs to get a lot bigger in order to keep
pace with the fast-improving Russian and
Chinese air arms.
"We face a more competitive and dangerous
international security environment than we
have faced in decades," Wilson said. "Great
power competition has re-emerged as the central
challenge for U.S. security and prosperity."
Doesn't this contradict Trumps' stated goal
of abandoning the world stage, retreating into
isolationism and no long being "the world's
policeman"?
