The United States must step up its military modernisation to enhance its conventional and nuclear forces and ensure it is ready for the possibility of simultaneous wars with China and Russia, a congressional commission evaluating the US’s strategic posture has said.Releasing its report (PDF) on Thursday in the US, the Congressional Commission on the Strategic Posture of the United States described the current global environment as “fundamentally different [to] anything experienced in the past, even in the darkest days of the Cold War”.The bipartisan panel of six Democrats and six Republicans called for urgent and immediate action to address the threats facing the US. Their report followed a year-long review of US conventional and nuclear forces and comes 14 years after the last major review was published in 2009.
