The top US military officer told lawmakers<\/a> Tuesday that the world is becoming more unstable and the \u201cpotential for significant international conflict is increasing, not decreasing.\u201d Chairman of the Joint Chiefs Gen. Mark Milley and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin appeared before the House Armed Services Committee in their first testimony before Congress since Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine.<\/p>\n

The two Pentagon leaders said the threats from both Russia and China remain significant, while they defended the US approach to the war and the flow of arms the US is sending to Ukraine. Milley said that Russia\u2019s invasion of Ukraine is \u201cthe greatest threat to peace and security of Europe and perhaps the world\u201d in his 42 years serving in the US military, but added it was \u201cheartening\u201d to see the world rally around Ukraine.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Russian invasion of Ukraine is threatening to undermine not only European peace and stability but global peace and stability that my parents and a generation of Americans fought so hard to defend,\u201d Milley said.<\/p>\n

Milley was asked about the need to reallocate forces to Europe\u2019s eastern flank, where NATO allies are worried that they may be Russia\u2019s next target. \u201cMy advice would be to create permanent bases but don\u2019t permanently station (forces), so you get the effect of permanence by rotational forces cycling through permanent bases,\u201d he said<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI believe that a lot of our European allies, especially those such as the Baltics or Poland and Romania, and elsewhere \u2014 they\u2019re very, very willing to establish permanent bases. They\u2019ll build them, they\u2019ll pay for them.\u201d Austin added that he recently visited and spoke with leaders in the Baltics, noting that they made it clear they value U.S. troops there.<\/p>\n
