China is America's preeminent security

threat and why the air and space forces 

9
00:00:23,003 --> 00:00:25,003

talking about the fact that the air and 

13
00:00:28,750 --> 00:00:31,059
space forces must change or we could 

14
00:00:31,069 --> 00:00:33,180
fail to prevent and might even lose a 

15
00:00:33,180 --> 00:00:35,402
war , not the kinds of war we've fought 

16
00:00:35,402 --> 00:00:37,680
or been fighting for the last 30 years , 

17
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:39,791

with enormous costs and consequences 

19
00:00:41,847 --> 00:00:44,069
for the US and its partners and for the 

20
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:46,069

to focus on a contested space domain 

46
00:01:38,155 --> 00:01:40,155

48
00:01:42,210 --> 00:01:44,543

51
00:01:46,569 --> 00:01:48,699
proven deterrent possible . Adapting 

52
00:01:48,709 --> 00:01:50,876
the space force to all of its critical 

53
00:01:50,876 --> 00:01:52,876
fail safe missions . Depends on one 

54
00:01:52,876 --> 00:01:54,987
thing , more than anything else , the 

55
00:01:54,987 --> 00:01:57,265
