Confronting the Threats of Ukraine, Russia, and China in U.S. Military Strategy
On today's episode, Andy sits down with Ryan McBeth, a former U.S. Army infantryman for 20 years, specializing in anti-armor and heavy weapons. After his military service, he transitioned into software development, working on C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance) systems for Accenture Federal Services.
They discuss how U.S. military strategies must evolve to adapt to shifting global dynamics, including a more aggressive stance in the Middle East, the prolonged Ukraine conflict, and China’s growing military threat by 2027. Ryan emphasizes the importance of maintaining military readiness, advancing technology, and collaborating with allies. He also touches on the rising significance of information warfare and the future of warfare blending traditional and unconventional tactics.
