US Army Secretary Says US Preparing To Win A War With China
Authored by Dave DeCamp via AntiWar.com,
US Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said this week that the US must prepare to win a future war with China over Taiwan by beefing up its military deployments in the region.
“I personally am not of the view that an amphibious invasion of Taiwan is imminent,” Wormuth said at an American Enterprise Institute event, according to Voice of America. “But we obviously have to prepare, to be prepared to fight and win that war.”
Wormuth’s plan would involve sending more troops and advanced weapons into the region, including hypersonic missiles. She said the buildup would be an effort to deter war with China, although Beijing has been increasing its military activity in the region in response to US actions.
Wormuth laid out three ways the US Army would work to build up forces in the region. First, by increasing cooperation with allies, which she said would “complicate” Beijing’s decision-making. Second, the Army will establish “theater distribution centers” to pre-position weapons and other supplies in the region.
She listed Australia and Japan as two places where weapons could be staged and said non-lethal equipment might be stored in the Philippines and Singapore. The third aspect of the plan would be to place more visible combat forces in the region. “Our goal is to have Army forces in the Indo-Pacific seven to eight months out of the year,” Wormuth said.
“If we got into a major war with China, the United States homeland would be at risk as well, with both kinetic attacks and non-kinetic attacks. Whether it’s cyberattacks on the power grids, or on pipelines, the United States Army, I have no doubt, will be called to provide defense support to civil authorities,” she said.

When asked if the American public could sustain the level of casualties that would come with a war with China, she said they could, just “like we did in World War II.” But both the US and China possess nuclear weapons, meaning a potential war could be catastrophic for the entire world.
Wormuth is the latest US official to openly discuss the fact that the US is preparing for war with China. Earlier this year, a four-star Air Force general predicted the US will be at war with China within two years and ordered his forces to be prepared. “I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me will fight in 2025,” Gen. Mike Minihan, the head of Air Mobility Command, said of war with China in a leaked memo.

Delusional.
Williams College must really pack a lot of military expertise into those political science degrees. She knows how to win wars with emerging super powers by deploying weapons we have not even developed yet into bases we do not have, but plan on building when the war starts within the missile range of an enemy that does have those weapons. She is sure the people living here today are willing to take WW2 level casualties over this because, well, a different generation living in a very different America with an adequate industrial base did so 80 years ago. Just brilliant. This army of hers has less than half a million troops and cannot reach a million even with mobilization of the reserve components. She must be planning on drafting millions of our finest right off of their couches to replace the losses.
A wench with a handbag flanked by eunuchs. The future, or rather the present is female . Isn’t it great? Matriarchy always leads to tyranny and finally , barbarism. If these bitches and betas don’t get us all killed first.
Absolute truth, both of you. Fourth wave feminazis have every intention of destroying the biological imperatives and crucial necessity of masculinity, to the death of us all.
Bitches love and despise betas who will fawn and do their dirty work. Betas hate themselves in light of comparison to actual men, and so hating us, are glad to avail.
You know what must be done. Sooner would be better but we will have to await the chaos.
So basically the people who claimed Trump would crash the economy and start WW3 have crashed the economy and started WW3.
Starting a war is the first step in the grift machine. Winning a war is such an old fashioned concept. The elites and the MIC are the only winners, ever. The future war with China will be engineered to surrender the US to the globalists entirely, it began decades ago. The kinetic piece will initiate the final engineered collapse of the financial system. They need it to happen, and it is coming.
Uh huh.
She states the Army will be used in conjunction with Civil Authorities, Sounds to me like Marshall Law right out of the Gate to me … How did a Country that produced the likes of Patton, Ridgeway, Stillwell, ,O.P. Smith and Puller end up with this Twat in Charge …. I know the answer, Men who squat to piss put her there
