The U.S. Military has declined and is no longer superior to the threats that exist around the world, and it would struggle to win – or perhaps even lose – a war with China or Russia, according to a new report from a congressionally-formed commission.

The National Defense Strategy Commission findings released Wednesday paint a gloomy picture for the current state of the U.S. military that includes challenges from competitors in other countries vying for global power, new and creative threats posed by Iran and North Korea, the danger of extremist and terrorist groups and the global proliferation of advanced technology.

The report says that “political dysfunction and decisions made by both major parties,” including the automatic spending cuts known as sequestration that began in 2013, “has significantly weakened its own defense,” the report states.

The authors also say the likelihood of a national security emergency is swiftly increasing.

And that Washington is not moving quickly enough to make up for the shortcomings. The dangers would be particularly high were the military forced to fight on two or more fronts at the same time.

“U.S. military superiority is no longer assured and the implications for American interests and American security are severe,” the report states.
