Retired U.S. Army Lt. Col. James Carafano, a national security expert at the Heritage Foundation, said the United States needs to act quickly and decisively to ensure our national security, not react to what our adversaries, such as China and Russia, decide to do.

“You never want to be in a situation where the enemy gets to decide what to do, and you’re just reacting to them. That’s the worst possible scenario. You always want to be in the situation where you are pushing them and making them react to you,” Carafano told Steve Lance, host of NTD’s Capitol Report, during a recent interview.
