By Ronald W. Sprang, Small Wars Journal: “In the midst of the current global setting Patrick Porter argues that the United States current grand strategy is no longer sustainable. He endorses a new collaborative “Concert-Balance” strategy to share global power and responsibility with leaders around the globe with the reality of U.S. limits of power and the emerging multi-polar world to extend the life of our national global influence. I disagree with his argument for two major reasons. First, the Concert-Balance Strategy needlessly cedes terrain signaling weakness and undermining U.S. status as a global leader. Second, the strategy unrealistically assumes risk to the national defense and strategic mobility of our military.”
A "Concert-Balance" Strategy and the Limits of U.S. Power By Ronald W. Sprang, Small Wars Journal: “In the midst of the current global setting Patrick Porter argues that the United States current grand strategy is no longer sustainable.

Second, the strategy unrealistically assumes risk to the national defense and strategic mobility of our military.” Dan Blumenthal writes: Therefore, those who believe in an inevitable Chinese takeover of Asia may not be wholly wrong. But that is not because China is overtaking the United States in wealth generation; far from it. Rather, it is because Beijing is taking advantage of an American political system unwilling to deal with its fiscal problems and provide for the common defense against the country’s most challenging threats. – Real Clear World
