If a world war breaks out, the US could be the loser, the US National Defense Commission believes.

During a hearing of the Senate Armed Services Committee on July 30, members of the committee said that the world is currently on the brink of World War III. They noted that the only way to prevent this war is to prepare for it. According to Channel 24, this was said at the hearing.

According to Eric Edelman, vice chairman of the US National Defense Strategy Commission, the partnership that now exists between China, Russia, Iran and North Korea has become a major strategic shift. He noted that this cooperation makes these countries significantly stronger in various areas, including military, economic and diplomatic. Edelman also emphasized that such alliances can reduce the effectiveness of US defense strategies.

“There is a potential for war in the near future, and a potential for us to lose it,” Eric Edelman said. He said the growing influence of partners China, Russia, Iran and North Korea could lead to a global conflict on the scale of World War II.

Edelman also noted that China is ahead of the United States in many ways. Despite the fact that the United States has the strongest military in the world, at a distance of 1,600 kilometers from the coast of China, Washington could lose its military dominance and suffer defeat in a possible conflict.

It also said that the Kremlin had quickly rebuilt its defense industrial base after the invasion of Ukraine, drawing unexpected attention. Edelman noted that Putin was seeking to destabilize the world in order to return Russia to “great power” status.

According to the report contained in the article and dated July 30, the United States is expressing serious concerns about the threat of a new world war caused by strategic movements and partnerships among states.
