Why America Can't Build Weapons Fast Enough | Dr. Seth Jones
from Hold These Truths with Dan Crenshaw
The war with Iran is putting renewed attention on a critical national security question: does America's defense industrial base have the capacity and resilience needed for a larger conflict with China or Russia? Defense expert Dr. Seth Jones joins Rep. Crenshaw to discuss why America struggles to build weapons fast enough and what policies could strengthen our military edge. They also discuss lessons from the war in Ukraine, the most likely scenarios as China ramps up pressure on Taiwan, and the number one threat to the homeland that most people are ignoring: drone attacks. Seth G. Jones is president of the Defense and Security Department and Harold Brown Chair at the Center for Strategic and International Studies. Find his work at https://www.csis.org/.
