General Mark Milley: the U.S. is currently facing “two nuclear-armed great powers”

General Mark Milley and other top military leaders faced intense questioning from lawmakers on the House Armed Services Committee about the many threats sing the United States including Iran, Russia, and China.

The Chairmans of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said there is not much they can do to stop China from becoming a nuclear power.

“We are probably not going to be able to do anything to stop, slow down, disrupt, interdict, or destroy the Chinese nuclear development program that they have projected out over the next 10 to 20 years,” Milley said.

“They’re going to do that in accordance with their own plan. And there’s very little leverage, I think, that we can do externally to prevent that from happening.”

Also discussed – the growing threat to Americans of China and Russia teaming up with Gen. Miley making the case that such a senecio would be difficult for the U.S. military to deal with.

Milley warned that the U.S. is currently facing “two nuclear-armed great powers.”

“They’re going to do that in accordance with their own plan. And there’s very little leverage, I think, that we can do externally to prevent that from happening.”
