‘Now is the time’ for confirming ‘grand strategy’ to defend America and allied democracies
By Michael Hochberg, Leonard Hochberg, Real Clear Wire
Jamie Dimon, the CEO of JP Morgan Chase, recently said that “World War III has already begun. You have battles on the ground being coordinated in multiple countries.”
How should the United States respond to this challenge? Dimon offered the following advice: “What we should be thinking about is we can’t take the chance this will resolve itself. We have to make sure that we are involved in doing the right things to get it resolved properly.” When someone of Jamie Dimon’s stature highlights the present danger, Americans would be well advised to consider his assessment.
In the context of China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea (i.e. CRINKs) coordinating their assaults on the United States and its allies, Dimon does not discuss likely outcomes: “I talk about the risk to us if those things go south. We run scenarios that would shock you. I don’t even want to mention them.”
