4-Star general predicts war with China in 2025 — ordered preparations

Sounds like what we have all been saying. China will try to take Taiwan before the next President is sworn in.

Four-star Air Force general warns 2024 elections will 'distract' US, enable China to invade Taiwan

Air Force general predicts war with China in 2025: 'I hope I am wrong'

Gen. Mike Minihan, head of Air Mobility Command, in a memo to all air wing commanders and other Air Force operational commanders said, "I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me [we] will fight in 2025."

Minihan said he believes war with China is imminent in the next two years due to the upcoming 2024 elections in the U.S. and Taiwan, which he claimed will "distract" Washington and Taipei and enable China to make a move on the island.

The general said a "a fortified, ready, integrated, and agile Joint Force Maneuver Team ready to fight and win inside the first island chain" needs to be established to prepare for the looming fight.

Minihan directed his Air Force commanders to report back by Feb. 28 on steps they will take to prepare for the war against China.

He also said all personnel should ensure their records and emergency contact information are up-to-date and to "consider their personal affairs and whether a visit should be scheduled with their servicing base legal office to ensure they are legally ready and prepared."

The general reportedly urged his fighting forces to "run deliberately, not recklessly," but said they need to accept some risk in training.

"If you are comfortable in your approach to training, then you are not taking enough risk," he added.

A defense official told Fox News Digital Saturday that Minihan’s remarks "are not representative of the department’s view on China."

DOD press secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said in a statement that U.S.'s "National Defense Strategy makes clear that China is the pacing challenge for the Department of Defense and our focus remains on working alongside allies and partners to preserve a peaceful, free and open Indo-Pacific."

Top defense officials have repeatedly warned that China’s long-term aim is to reunify Taiwan with mainland China and Beijing has ramped up its aggressive posture in the region in recent years.

President Biden said last year that he would respond to an invasion of Taiwan by deploying U.S. forces, unlike the war in Ukraine.

But Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin told reporters earlier this month that he "seriously doubt[s]" an invasion of Taiwan and subsequent war with China is "imminent."

Need to change that thread title……”orders” and “predicts” have 2 different meanings.

Key words…..predicts-warns-memo-believes……

I laugh my ass off that some of you think we will make it until 2025...

Doubt it'll take that long. We'll be in Ukraine first, then in Taiwan.

We will be in it soon ,,,..

If China and Taiwan are reunited how would that affect us?

Pretty sure if China waits twenty years or so the next generation of Taiwanese will be pushing for unification anyway.

Not sure whether it is your media, your government, or your war mongers that are responsible but it seems to me that the US citizenry is kept hyped up and pissed off intentionally.

Very little. All our phones, pharmaceuticals, scopes, cameras, red dots, towels, jumper cables, light bulbs, matches, batteries, hearing aids, toy fire trucks, fireworks, fishing lures, cowboy boots, bibles, jerky, and 7 million 8 hundred thousand 4 hundred 32 other products will stay in the supply chain.

But not guns. Or ammo. They’re too dangerous to import.

Democrats are doing their damnedest to get us in another war.

Shang ki shek made Tiawan happen when he refused to go Communist . He took his followers of Capitalism to that Island around WW II . They have some degree of support from the Western world because they make chips and all sorts of other things at low prices . They may also have machines there that make things very small in size few other places have or can quickly get.
China is waiting on the USA to send all it's missiles to Ukraine before they go on the attack.
.

It' all 3, and your not wrong.

Any generals/admirals left in our military after the Obama purges are woke, stupid, and not worth listening to.

It’s possible that a couple warriors slipped through the cracks and are still in leadership positions throughout our military. Without doubt, we are going to need a few.

War is politicians default setting. So yes, war is coming.

That’s about how I see it too. There’s too much risk to China to invade Taiwan and Taiwan will be useless to China if they have to level it to take it. China will wait things out and use subversion to eventually get Taiwan fully under Chinese control without a war.

IMO control of the South China Sea will be the fuse.

Not to worry, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Milley will continue keep China informed as to our plans.

I dont think any American flag officer these days is competent or has any credibility.

We can’t last more than 2 Days with Cheena ..

Supplies have been Dwindling..

Putin, Ming and Mr Pudd’n are acting in Concert..

Once the their Confidence Level is Met we’re going to take an Ass Wiping that will take US to our Knees..

I still find it Hard to Believe that the Flag Officers will just stand by and watch Half the Pacific Fleet Sunk and Air Command cut in Half ..

They know what’s Cum’n ..
