Sequencing Over Simultaneity: How to Avert a Two-Front War

The United States faces the daunting prospect of a three-front conflict with China, Russia, and Iran, but recent strikes against Iran's nuclear program have created a crucial, temporary advantage. To avoid an unwinnable multi-front war, the U.S. should adopt a "sequencing" strategy, concentrating its power on one adversary at a time. With Iran neutralized for now, the next logical step is to systematically weaken Russia through diplomacy while pushing European allies to achieve defense autonomy. This strategic re-prioritization would finally allow America to pivot its full attention and resources toward confronting its main long-term competitor, China.
