The U.S. needs to pay more attention to electronic warfare
(noahpinion.blog)
When I talk about U.S.-China competition, I usually talk about the economic side of things — industrial policy, export controls, tariffs, and so on. But it’s also important to think about how economic strength can and should be translated into military power — after all, the U.S.’ goal is to deter China from launching a major war, and that requires a powerful military. In this guest post, Steven Glinert (who has been a previous Noahpinion guest contributor) argues that the U.S. needs a greater sense of urgency about electronic warfare — the use of EM radiation to jam, trick, or intercept enemy communications.
