Dr. Thomas Lynch III, retired U.S. Army Col., and distinguished research fellow at the Institute of National Strategic Studies at the U.S. National Defense University, sat down with NTD's Steve Lance for an interview to discuss how effectively the U.S. military's Operation Epic Fury is performing, and its implications for the balance of power between the U.S. and its adversaries Russia and China.

Lynch said the U.S. military has executed precise and effective strikes in the operation. China is closely studying this conflict, similar to how it analyzed Desert Storm and Iraqi Freedom, but now with 25 years of added military modernization. Both sides in Iran are expending massive quantities of weapons, and Beijing is evaluating U.S. vulnerabilities, endurance in a prolonged fight, and opportunities to erode American power in a future confrontation.
