Pentagon: US facing growing possibility of “war with major power”

USA

The Pentagon has warned that the United States faces a low but growing possibility of engaging in a war with a major power. It says if the threat ever turns into reality, the consequences will be immense. 

America’s 2015 National Military Strategy has singled out Russia and China in the report as aggressive and threatening to US security interests. It has also expressed concern about states developing advanced technological capabilities that are causing the US military to lose its edge. The report also says future conflicts will come more rapidly, last longer, and take place on a much more technically challenging battlefield. It notes that violent extremist groups pose an immediate threat to transregional security by coupling readily available technologies with extremist ideologies.
