Not Michelle Flurnoy, who announced the possibility of "destroying the PRC fleet in 72 hours": Biden decided on the candidacy of the Minister of Defense

The American press comes out with materials that talk about the choice of the future US Secretary of Defense, which was made by Joseph Biden. At the same time, it is noted that the announced candidacy differs from the initial one, which was announced by Biden's entourage, who considers himself the winner of the elections.

Recall that a couple of weeks ago, the US media published materials in which it was stated that 59-year-old Michelle Flurnoy was considered the most likely candidate for the post of head of the Pentagon in the future Biden administration. This information caused particular outrage in China. The fact is that Michelle Flournoy, who already worked at the Pentagon - during Obama's presidency, made several attacks on Beijing. In particular, Flurnoy said that the US Navy "will destroy the Chinese fleet in the South China Sea in 72 hours."



Already after the statements about Flurna as a candidate for the post of US Secretary of Defense appeared, she said that "we need to talk hard with China."

The Chinese media drew attention to these statements by the candidate for the post of the head of the US military department.

Now, as the US military publications write with reference to several "sources familiar with Joe Biden's plans," the president-elect has decided that he will appoint General Lloyd Austin to the post of head of the Pentagon.

It is noted that he changed his original decision, abandoning the idea of ​​appointing Michel Flournoy as defense minister. Against this backdrop, the US heard statements that "Biden did this, taking into account the reaction of China to the statements of Flurna."

Lloyd Austin (full name - Lloyd James Austin III) may become the first black head of the Pentagon. He is a combat "four-star" general. He is 67 years old. He began his military career with the rank of lieutenant after graduating from a bachelor's degree at West Point Academy. Was engaged in recruiting issues. Participated in American military operations in Iraq and Afghanistan. In 2010, he was appointed commander-in-chief of the American contingent in Iraq. Has many state awards, including such as the Medal for Distinguished Service, the Medal for Distinguished Service and the Silver Star, which is considered to be a kind of analogue of the medal for Courage.

      Well, they were appointed according to racial criteria, it looks more like pure populism, especially since, judging by what is happening with the American contingents in Iraq, this Chorniy General did not cope with his duties too much

        Why populism.
        Imagine choosing Michelle F. or Bolton, who would immediately start to intimidate each and every US military power if something does not meet their requirements. Old Biden would not have time to calm potential opponents from unnecessary military movements instead of quietly building up the country's military power without attracting unnecessary close attention.
        So the Negro is exactly what you need - calm, balanced and apparently quite adequate and manageable. And this is exactly what Biden needs so that he does not climb across the "father" and does not carry a blizzard, without causing unnecessary trouble to smart people sitting behind the curtains of the political pedestal.

            I have not yet had time to get full information from Joe Biden's headquarters, according to information received earlier from the office of the current US President Donald Trump, Bolton was fired precisely because of his excessive assertiveness and self-confidence.
            Something like that.

        Respected by the troops?

        Fired in 2016. By the way, one of the reasons was his report on the use of taxpayers' money for training "moderate opposition" in Syria: $ 5 million was spent on training about 4-5 "oppositionists". That's exactly what he said: 4, maybe 5. The scandal was still the same.

        Nothing, after that he was taken with open arms to the board of directors of Raytheon.

            hi I don't know, there is no such information. But the fact that many in the future administration of Biden are from Raytheon or somehow connected with this company is a fact. So, you can rest assured that the company's multibillion-dollar contracts are guaranteed, which means that the shares will go up the hill. wink

      will appoint General Lloyd Austin
      Well, what a "four-star" general and even a black one, given the current situation in the United States, is the most suitable candidate. In addition, he has not yet managed to distinguish himself with loud statements with whom and with what force the Americans should talk. But probably everything is still ahead. And given the fact that he is a professional soldier, it will probably be more realistic to look at the possible consequences of unleashing an armed conflict.

      The American Secretary of Defense is not an analogue of our Secretary of Defense, and this must be taken into account at least to understand his role for the US armed forces as a whole.
      In terms of skin color, Colin Powell, who was chairman of the Chiefs of Staff Committee, which is akin to our Secretary of Defense, achieved the most success in the military field:
      In the 1970s-1980s, he worked in the Ministry of Defense, and, moving up the steps of the military hierarchy, by 1983 he became assistant to the Minister of Defense, Kaspar Weinberger. In 1986 he was appointed Deputy Director of the National Security Council, and in November 1987, President Ronald Reagan appointed him to the post of National Security Advisor. After the end of the Reagan presidential term, Powell returned to the army and served as the district commander in Georgia, but already in August 1989 the president George W. Bush nominated him to the post of chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and he became the first black person in this position. Under Powell, the military aggression in Panama was successfully carried out, as well as the 1991 Gulf War (Operation Desert Storm).

        I think it's time to introduce the term "polysexual", there should be several "... fils" from zoo-to necro- inside, there is a large choice. And to make these qualities mandatory when considering candidates for the highest government positions in the new American regional committee.
