>That sort of thinking dismisses the real threats.

Does the USA really have any threats that aren't just the USA being on the offense?

China is massively invested in the US. It's hard to imagine any war scenario being worth the cost.

The summary provides nothing that wouldn't be USA again on offense. Modernization of Chinese Navy != Threat.

No? How are they a threat? They spent money on Facebook ads and we don't even know if they came from the Government? By that standard, you can also say UK is a threat with Cambridge Analytia.
