“Who thinks we can take on China and kick butt?”
Our defense budget is more than the next ten countries combined. Including China. We had better be able to defeat them. I want an audit.
Biden is caught in a secret-documents scandal. Plus we’ve got an inflation crisis and an immigration crisis. Weak government often use war to distract the population from such problems.
Just sayin’.
I do, but I would prefer not.
This is news to somebody? That's Pentagon's job, to plan for all possible future wars.
Why are you posting from a site comprised completely of unfriends of the United States?
Maybe Zelensky can send us weapons.
China is dead set on war with us. No use kidding ourselves.
That major military installation down in the Spratley
Islands makes that pretty clear. What it didn’t, China’s
expansion around the planet has.
They are also buying our political figures for cheap.
You have to ask yourself what this comment of his was
directed to convey.
I suspect it was letting China know that whatever they
have in mind, it’s not going to come as cheaply as they
had thought.
And yellow men great power gain
From mighty bear with whom they’ve lain.
These mighty tyrants will fail to do
They fail to split the world in two.
But from their acts a danger bred
An ague — leaving many dead.
Mother Shipton, 1558
It probably won’t be a very long war.
The US military is likely the most vaxxed group in the world, percentage-wise, right?
lol. but not really.
just the other day I saw headlines about how we cannot supply our own military with ammo cause we are giving it all to zellinskyy.
a few weeks before some general admitted we left Afghanistan so we could fight a proxy war with Russia.
whatever war we might have had with China has already been won
We would kick the shit out of China. Air and naval war…
We are no where near prepared to take China on, not with Joe Biden as the ‘Commander In Chief’, not with Lloyd Austin as Sec. of Defense or General Mark Milley as Joint Chief of Staff.
Who can forget that clumsy, bloody, self defeating, disloyal, illogical, idiotic withdrawl from Afghanistan?
That was only two years ago. In the world of wars, two years is like two weeks.
My son was in the Navy 2000 to 2004, they were running computer scenarios back then for an invasion by China of Taiwan.
I had an Uncle (A true Mavrick who rose to full bird, served three stints at the Pentagon), he stated back in the 80's that they were working on various war scenarios for any imaginable potential conflict.
Yup, that is their job.
“Containment” — haven’t heard that since the Vietnam war. I’m sure it’ll work out a lot better this time.
Shhhh! They are are always preparing for war with China or Russia!
I don’t have a subscription to the original post.

I certainly hope we are preparing for war with China.
They sure as hell are.
