He noted that Washington will continue to lead the global arena in the "changing world" era.
The United States
- He will continue to lead others.
- Through diplomacy
- Supported by the best combat force in the world.
Former US National Security Adviser Robert O'Brien earlier revealed the US military's weakness and inability to launch a full-scale war.
In an interview with Fox News, O'Brien remarked
citing research data from Heritage, indicating that ground forces have little potential, naval and military space forces are weak, and air power is very weak.
The report indicates that only Marines and nuclear forces are most effective.

United States officials and experts have confirmed that the United States military is on the verge of exhausting its stockpiles of sophisticated weapons supplied to Ukraine, particularly in terms of ammunition.
The United States is Ukraine's
leading supplier of weapons since the start of the Russian military operation on 24 February, with the total value of US military assistance to Kiev reaching more than $16.8 billion.
The U.S.
stockpile of certain equipment "reaches the minimum necessary for planning and training," said Mark Cancian of the Center for Strategic and International Studies.
The former Marine Corps Colonel (Marines)
- who was in charge of the Pentagon's acquisition of weapons between 2008 and
- and 2015, referred in a recent memorandum to older equipment available
- The addendum stated that it would "reflect a rising percentage in future supply deployments."
"We are in the process of drawing lessons"
in terms of the United States military's needs for munitions in the event of a conflict between major powers, an undisclosed US military said.
On the other hand
Washington delivered to Kyiv about 8,500 Javelin missiles, while the annual production of these missiles is only 1,000 a year.
In May, the United States submitted a $350 million order for these missiles to the group of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin companies it produces, but their compensation in U.S. inventory could also take several years.
The U.S.
- military also sent 880 thousand 155-calibre rockets to Kiev
- representing three quarters of
- Ukraine's total Western supply of
such munitions that conform to Atlantic Treaty standards, according to Pentagon figures.
"This is probably close to the limits of what the United States can be willing to provide without risking its own defence capabilities," Kansyan said, noting that many countries produce these missiles in the world and that supplies to Ukraine are unlikely to cease.
Washington looks with allies to ramp up arms manufacturing to supply Ukraine
The Pentagon announced that at a meeting in Brussels attended by allies from 45 European Union countries and NATO, the United States had discussed ways to intensify arms manufacturing to supply it to Ukraine.
The Pentagon stated that
"this forum allowed for open and frank discussion on the issues of the Defence Industries Complex and the possibilities of increasing the production of vital means of defending Ukraine in the long term."
The United States
delegation had provided its assessments of the problems in the supply chain of spare parts for military equipment and plans to increase the production of long-range weapons and air defence.
