New Pentagon No. 2 warns China's "aggressive" actions pose threat to global order
https://www.nbcnews.com ^ | Feb. 2, 2021 | By Dan De Luce

Deputy Defense Secretary Kathleen Hicks, in her first public remarks since she was sworn in, called China’s military increasingly capable, saying its “aggressive” actions posed a threat to regional peace, stability in the Pacific and the “rules-based international order.“

In a virtual speech to National War College students Friday, Hicks said the Defense Department under President Joe Biden would be focused on ensuring the U.S. military was able to meet the challenge represented by China.

The United States will need “to demonstrate the will and capability to credibly deter PRC aggression,” Hicks said, and confronting the challenge posed by China also would require discarding weapons programs that were no longer relevant to the new strategic reality.

Her portrayal of China echoed comments by Secretary of State Antony Blinken and White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan during a testy exchange with their Chinese counterparts late on Thursday in Alaska.

To expect Joe Stolen & Company to raise any meaningful objections to the expansionism of the CCP leaders of China is setting the fox to guard the henhouse.

Nonsense. China isn’t threatening our military’s LBGTQ agenda, is it?

Easy Fix: Stop importing things that were made in China. Make it law and enforce that law ruthlessly and unsparingly. Cut off their America privileges. End their MFN status. And while you’re at it, sanctions on any nation that continues to do business with them. they are committing GENOCIDE against the Uyghurs. There’s your sign.

It distresses me some that all the messaging coming out of DC now is about how China is a “threat to the rules-based international order”.

Because the commies in DC are all about One World Order.

Sane messaging would be “China is an existential threat to the security, safety and prosperity of the United States and her people”.

I sure hope nothing scares these people over the next 4 years. They will not react rationally. They think it’s their (our) burden to police the planet and make everything in their likeness.

They are now “God”.

Very dangerous times ahead.

Apparently she doesn't understand that China could care less about the global order the Democrats, and the globalist elites, envision.

The deputy Secretary of Defence warns that China’s aggressive actions are a threat to Global Order.

Well!Its always smart to do what his Boss is doing and attacking the Integrity of White Members of the U.S. Military who put God and the Constitution before the religion of Communism and Liberalism.

If they keep it up all the D.O.D. will have to fight the ChiCom and other potential enemies will be members of the Rat Party.

I can only hope.

No, they are focused on LGBQT, global warming, weeding out patriots, flight suits for PG women, critical race theory etc.
