Military Strategy Shift towards One Theater

For years, American defense strategy aimed to be prepared for two simultaneous wars in different theaters, but due to the shrinking military and increasing capabilities of adversaries, the focus shifted towards operating in one theater effectively. The current situation is considered highly dangerous, resembling the riskiest times since the 1960s or the interwar period, marked by disarmament, political division, and vulnerability to stumbling into war on unfavorable terms. The comparison to the late 1970s is raised, highlighting economic crises and the potential of a great nation to sleepwalk into issues. It underscores the cyclical nature of American history and the strategic concerns faced in the current global scenario.
