The US military is preparing for war on China, and has missile systems in the Philippines aimed at major Chinese cities. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth says the USA is making “Japan into a war-fighting headquarters”. Ben Norton discusses the extremely aggressive policies of Trump, Biden, and beyond.

This isn’t really a secret in the US. Every who’s gotten out of the military recently that I’ve talked to from all different backgrounds all say the same thing, war with China is inevitable and the timeline has been moved up to 2027 from 2030. The US will not allow them to take Taiwan, too much at stake. Doubtful we’ll initiate.
But the US already did since Biden. They named Taiwan an “important strategic military partner” which goes much further. Basically the US is putting it’s finger on the map halfway around the world right in front of China’s doorstep and saying “this is ours” while China says it is theirs. Obviously Taiwan DID belong to greater China and even though I don’t especially support reunification it’s a slap in the face. Instead of letting sleeping dogs lie.
It’s always the press and people portraying the US has not doing anything but inviting countries into their military alliance. It’s dangerous warmongering. Yes, and the same happened in Ukraine.
I can see the opinions after another proxy war breaks out, oh those evil Chinese devils / yellow orcs! Appeasement doesn’t work, they want to gobble up all the world like Hitler!
Hopefully China is smarter or the USA collapses before that can happen.
Last Taiwan election had US hawk oligarchist President elected, but Parliament majority was won by the sensible survivalist party. To help start a war, there is a proposal for McCarthyist military tribunal system where, like recent ROK martial law, “do you now, or have you ever, considered war to not provide a path to glorious happiness?” in order to jail anyone blocking war, and measures that would force China to intervene.
Whether we ultimately initiate or not, we will work to create conditions for China to initiate, as we did with Ukraine, and as we did with Afghanistan in the previous cold war. Despite the public rhetoric, the US doesn’t give a rat’s ass about Taiwanese or Ukrainian lives. They’re just means to its imperialist ends.
US doesn’t even give a rat’s ass about American lives.
