Former Vice President Dan Quayle has issued a stark warning, declaring that China is outpacing the U.S. in the high-tech military arms race, with alarming implications for America’s global standing. In a recent column, Quayle pointed to China’s advances in autonomous weaponry, hypersonic missiles, and cyber warfare, warning that Beijing’s ambitions to replace America as the world’s leading superpower are quickly becoming a reality.
“Our military is relying on outdated ships and jets, while China races ahead with 21st-century warfare capabilities,” Quayle cautioned, urging both U.S. presidential candidates to prioritize the looming threats from abroad. His remarks arrive as China ramps up aggression toward Taiwan and rapidly expands its military presence across the Pacific.
Quayle didn’t stop with China, highlighting the dangers posed by Russia, Iran, and North Korea, who all share a common goal: to undermine America. He further warned that the ongoing conflict in Ukraine could be just the beginning of a far larger and deadlier global confrontation, drawing ominous parallels to the prelude of World War II.
With global instability rising, Quayle insisted that foreign policy should be at the forefront of the 2024 election, urging the U.S. to rethink its strategies before it’s too late.
