China is on a “disturbing' path to become militarily “superior' to the United States by mid-century, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley testified Wednesday.
During the hearing, Milley stressed that the United States needs to"outpace" China’s development, specifically their military might.
Milley added,"We’re going to have to not only keep pace, but we have to outpace that, and that will assure the peace." Russian President Vladimir Putin, right, and Chinese President Xi Jinping shake hands in Moscow on Tuesday, March 21. The Kremlin said on Wednesday that the West's reaction to Xi's visit has been"hostile."
Milley warned of the growing alliance between China and Russia, and told lawmakers on Wednesday that the two countries are"getting closer together," especially with regard to nuclear capabilities. The intelligence community said this month that Russia maintains the"largest and most capable nuclear weapons stockpile, and it continues to expand and modernize its nuclear weapons capabilities."
As for Iran, Milley said Tehran is"taking actions to improve its capabilities to produce a nuclear weapon.""From the time of an Iranian decision, Iran could produce enough fissile material for a nuclear weapon in less than two weeks, and it would only take several more months to produce an actual nuclear weapon," Milley warned.
