The United States’ military is “weak” and might not be able to defend itself as it faces rising global threats from Russia and China, according to a report from a US think tank.
And a senior researcher of the report said that the British Navy is down to a "mere 17 or 18 surface combatants total", which is "nearly" the equivalent to the number the Chinese are adding to its fleet each year.
A new arms race has seen international powers build up their military capabilities with regular parading of new technology and at the same time tensions have risen.
