The article is all kinds of hilarious. My fav was this bit a the end:

Beijing’s steady military buildup—combined with its expansionist territorial claims and increased efforts to form partnerships with countries such as Russia and Iran—has major implications for the U.S. defense budget. America must scale up its efforts to ensure primacy on land, at sea, in the air, in cyberspace and in outer space sufficiently to deter any rivals.

Apparently, US plans to take on the combined power of Russia, China, and Iran militarily. The sheer hubris of that is just astounding.
