Agree totally. Washington DC has long been infamous for only being able to think about, and act on, one crisis/opportunity at a time. Nowhere has this been more conspicuous than with GWOT warfighting eclipsing Triad modernization, and then Triad modernization facing a bitter funding battle against counterterror — and also with neo-liberal social handouts aplenty. While numerous pundits urge our country to get onto a Hybrid Cold War II wartime defense industrial base footing, we also really REALLY ought to move beyond the “one big war at a time, one big crisis at a time” mentality….. BTW, this IS the Second Hybrid Cold War, since the First Cold War was also very much a hybrid war, using what cultural, economic, political, and informational weaponry existed before the Social Media Age began.
