Fox News military analyst Ralph Peters said under the proposed
Pentagon budget the U.S. Navy could not fight a war with China Tuesday
on Hannity.
Peters said although expensive weapons programs like the $350 million
F-22 were supposed to be a cure all for future military conflicts,
serious deficiencies are evident across different branches of the
military. “We have carriers that are wonderful tools for showing the
force, [but] they couldn’t survive in a war with China,” he said.
Hannity asked Peters if the proposed Pentagon cuts risk the United
States upending the balance of power across the globe and ceding
international control and influence to a nation far more hostile to
freedom.
Peters agreed, adding maritime power will be a crucial factor in
determining the outcome of future military conflicts, particularly in a
possible conflict with China.
