China's military prepares for war, while America's military goes 'woke'
The Hill ^ | 7 Jul, 2021 | SETH CROPSEY

President Xi Jinping’s Chinese Communist Party (CCP) centenary speech conveyed his regime’s resolve in many ways.

Those who attempt to drive a wedge between the party and the Chinese nation, he stated, will encounter “a great wall of steel forged by over 1.4 billion Chinese people.” He pledged to reinforce central control over the party, warning those who oppose its mission that they will be purged “like viruses.” He praised the party’s “courage to fight and fortitude to win,” making the CCP “invincible.” He committed to expanding and modernizing the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to defend Chinese “sovereignty, security, and development interests.” He implied that Taiwan is a part of Chinese sovereign territory — and any efforts toward “Taiwan independence,” therefore, will be met with force.

These sound like the pronouncements of a leader preparing his country for conflict.

As anonymous statements, Sen. Cotton’s reports are unconfirmed. But they resonate with broader instances of CRT-driven policy in the military, particularly because other intersectional measures may be looped into this general trend. Nellis Air Force Base hosted a “Drag” event for its airmen, justifying it as “essential to morale, cohesion, and readiness.” A Navy spouse posted an image from her active-duty husband documenting a “Pride Month” diversity hike, complete with a rainbow-colored American flag. The military service academies have also joined this trend: West Point now offers a “Diversity and Inclusion” minor, and the Naval Academy offers courses on “critical race” and “intersectional” themes.

During congressional testimony last week, Gen. Mark Milley, Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman, defended the military’s policy on racial and intersectional issues. Milley’s patriotism, professionalism and intellect are beyond reproach; his four decades of service include deployments to Panama, Haiti, Bosnia, Iraq and Afghanistan, and he is a product of Princeton and Columbia universities.

Xi must be thinking that he is the luckiest tyrant that ever lived to have this sort of adversary. The USA will defeat it’s self and hand everything to Xi on a platter with a note to “please go light on the torture”.

Communists always talk tough to stay in power,scare their people and other countries. The USA will never fall to a war with China but with the war within itself. China learned from the fall of the Soviet Union and what they currently see with American hating liberals and globalists.

I read an article today mentioning how Raytheon has gone all-in on woke, racist, anti-white corporate ideology. These people make the missiles and satellites that will be heavily involved in the next war. And one wonders how many of their targeted engineers, technicians and skilled workers are white?

Reminds of Stalin’s purges of the Soviet military prior to June, 1941.

Don’t worry. When they see our Snowflakes and Trannies they’ll cower in fear. Milley will lead us into battle flying his diversity flag. Once they see that the enemy will cower in fear.

Not a chance they are that stupid. They will send in state-run chinese corporations to get the materials and minerals they want, and give out partnerships and protection money to all Taliban/Government officials needed to ensure the deal succeeds.

I've been thinking the same thing. This will be fascinating to watch.

The Chi Coms have the same attitude towards their soldiers as the ruskies: waves of fodder.

Well I certainly hope that the U. S. military brass make sure that our guys can walk well in red high heels like they practiced when Ovomit was in the the White House. Sarcasm intended.

When the Screaming She-He Battaliion attacks, our best hope is the ChiComs die laughing.

Neah.
The Chicoms will do what we should have done.
Pick a troublesome tribe.
Help its enemies (they all hate each other) annihilate and loot them.
Wait a bit, then pick the next troublesome tribe.
Rinse, lather and repeat.
When the Afghan tribes finally figure it out (if they figure it out), the Chicoms will finish off the survivors themselves.

I agree. We’ve got to prevent an EMP attack first thing.

It isn’t the attitude toward the soldiers that will make a difference, it their attitude towards the Afghanis and ‘World Opinion.’
Remember, we’re talking about folks who are busy exterminating the Uighurs as we post.
They will regard the Afghans as less than human and will exterminate the troublesome ones. They will probably get the various tribes to do some of the work for them as the all hate each other.

While I hate what our military leaders have turned it into, I think China would very much regret thinking that “woke” and “weak” are the same thing.

Our civilian leaders, obviously a different story...

The US military services are so far ahead of China in capability they would have to TRY to lose.

Don’t be silly. The Chinese will go into Afghanistan as allies, building roads and other infrastructure, cutting deals to mine the mineral resources and paying off the warlords to keep the peace among the tribes. THe Taliban will be allowed to do their taliban thing without interference from the Chinese, as long as they cooperate with the Belt and Road program.

Look at a map of the region, and Chinese objectives will be clear. They won’t have to fire a shot.
