John Avlon : America 's position in the world has become more precarious is a grave understatement.

Avlon says the U.S. is spending far less on defense than is necessary to meet the gathering dangers of the moment.

He says a terrible surprise is on the way: It may not come this year or the next, but the train is roaring down the tracks.

The most basic fact is that the United States is simply not spending enough on national security, he says.

U.S. military is "minimally operationally ready today but unlikely to be ready for tomorrow ," says U.N. military commission.

John Avlon : America is asleep even as the tides of danger roll in; we need to wake us from our slumbers.
