The Biden administration promised 2023 would be “the most transformative year” for U.S. force posture in the Indo-Pacific region in a generation. With a trio of major political announcements and a proposed budget boost, 2023 is off to a strong start. But there is no time for a scenic overlook of recent accomplishments. To achieve the transformative effect needed to bolster deterrence against China, the Biden administration needs to keep its foot on the gas.

Postured? The editorialist seems to think so. I'm not so sure. Prepared? The editorialist isn't so sure. I'm not sure at all. We may yet have the strongest military in the world, but we sure as hell don't have the economy to deploy it effectively, especially not if we become embroiled in a multi-theater war.
