-Rising interest costs squeeze the Pentagon, hollow force structure, and weaken the defense-industrial base just as long-term competition with Beijing and Moscow demands stamina and surge capacity.
-Debt also poisons domestic politics, turning foreign policy into a partisan budget fight. The real danger is not sudden collapse, but a slow loss of strategic freedom bought on credit.
