Missouri Senator Eric Schmidt recently raised concerns about the readiness of the U.S. Navy, highlighting the disparity between the shrinking U.S. Navy and the growing Chinese Navy. Senator Schmidt pointed out that the Navy is retiring more ships than it is building, while China continues to expand its naval capabilities.
One of the key issues Senator Schmidt addressed was the Navy's focus on developing a 'green fleet' and combating climate change. He criticized the Navy's emphasis on climate change as the biggest threat, arguing that nuclear holocaust or the rise of communist China posed more significant risks to national security.
