An increasingly dangerous China is at best the number two national security threat, dwarfed by the much clearer danger of America's spending addiction.
In ten years, the interest on the national debt is projected to be around a cool trillion dollars, and that's assuming that the U.S. doesn't elect a socialist in the interim, which is becoming an increasingly bad bet.
Once we get to a trillion dollars, the interest that we will have to pay on the national debt will dwarf U.S. military spending.
The Chinese overall debt-to-GDP may be approaching a staggering 300%, depending on how you measure it, which is both good and bad. It's good in the sense that the Chinese are likely not as big of a global national security threat as they appear.
Our debt is already having a supersized impact on U.S. national security.
Every candidate is proposing to radically increase government spending, which will inevitably weaken U.S. national security.
The debate among national security experts that followed its publication mostly focused on whether China or Russia is the bigger long-term threat to the U.S. China is a rising power with national ambitions whose goal is to supplant U.S. atop the global hierarchy.
