According to Brent Sadler, the bigger picture involves the US needing to deter an increasingly aggressive China. He emphasizes that ending the Russia-Ukraine war and stopping the killing is a US priority specifically so America can refocus and restock its armory for deterring China. Sadler points to 2027 as an "often quoted year of maximum danger" regarding potential conflict with China.
