Research Analyst, Manohar Parrikar IDSA, Ms Khyati Singh’s opinion piece ‘Dual-Theater Competition: How the US Avoids Being Stretched Thin and Wins Where It Matters’ was published in Small Wars Journal on 01 November 2025.
At times, the strategic conversation of the United States appears to be a zero-sum bargaining exercise: push the majority of assets to the Indo-Pacific Region, do away with other theaters such as the Middle East. This is an incorrect template for questioning. The right approach is not about where to invest all the assets, but rather how to best organize American power and allied industrial capabilities so that the US can deter high-end war in the Indo-Pacific while also being meaningfully involved and resilient in other regions, says Ms Singh.
