From the report: “the most powerful weapon systems will remain the six inches between the ears of our citizens and the strength of their hearts and content of their souls.”
It also points (several times) to China as the biggest threat. It also notes the threat of Russia. It refers to the invasion of Ukraine as “Vladimir Putin’s brutal war in Ukraine” which seems to conflict with Trump’s view.
It notes that weapon sales are way down and recommends ending informal congressional notification of such sales. The review process is not required; it is a practice by which the Department of State provides a preview of prospective arms transfers before Congress is formally notified.
