On Friday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe,” Air Force Global Strike Command Commander Gen. Thomas Bussiere stated that the world is currently “more complicated, more complex, and dangerous than at any point” in his nearly four-decade career in the Air Force.
Co-host and POLITICO White House Bureau Chief Jonathan Lemire said, “Give us, if you will, in light of these seemingly escalating threats, your sense of the state of play.”
Later, USA Today Washington Bureau Chief Susan Page asked, “Is there a place you think we’re not [paying] — an issue that we’re not paying enough attention to that keeps you up at night, something that really deserves attention than it’s getting right now?”
Bussiere answered, “So, I guess I would look at the entire globe as a[n] aspect for what we need to pay attention to. So, whether it’s in the Indo-Pacific region, with the rapid growth of the Chinese nuclear force or it’s the activities in the European theater with [Russia’s] invasion of Ukraine or it’s the activity on the [Korean] Peninsula with North Korea’s activities, if we step back from all of that, in addition to the activities in the Middle East, my job, my position is to make sure we have a sound, credible deterrent for the air leg and the land leg of the nuclear deterrence.”
