Show Notes
The military strength of the United States again is rated as only “marginal” in a new report, the "2021 Index of U.S. Military Strength", from The Heritage Foundation.
Russia is identified as the main threat to the U.S., but China is identified in the report as “the most comprehensive threat that the U.S. faces, [and] continues to modernize and expand its military and pay particular attention to its space, cyber, and artificial intelligence capabilities.” How should these challenges be addressed?
Dakota Wood, senior research fellow for The Heritage Foundation’s Center for National Defense and the Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy, joins "The Daily Signal Podcast" to discuss.
We also cover these stories:
- Biotechnology company Moderna is asking the Food and Drug Administration to give it an emergency authorization for the coronavirus vaccine.
- The results of Georgia’s presidential election continue to be contested.
- The White House is ready for Christmas! First lady Melania Trump announces that the theme for this year’s decor is "America the Beautiful."
