In her prepared testimony, Hicks correctly called China’s military modernization the “pacing challenge of our time”—a defense expert’s way of saying Beijing represents the most daunting threat Americans currently confront. Her top priority, if confirmed, “would be to help translate the rhetoric of strategic competition into the reality of execution,” while increasing the “speed and scale of innovation in our force.” Based on her experience as a Pentagon career civil servant and Obama administration appointee, Hicks understands that will require robust defense funding....

But Santos resisted calls to resign following the revelations. His first week in the congressional chamber was met with mockery after videos of him sitting alone were shared widely on social media....

This, of course, has been metered by the conviction of those in Congress and elsewhere, who believe that the conflict stems from injustices from the West towards Russia, and that Russian president Vladimir Putin’s invasion is part of a broader ideological struggle.
