US Secretary of the Army: Looks like it's time to prepare to confront China over Taiwan

Recently, there have been more and more statements from the lips of the military that 2023 will be a turning point for the United States in terms of strengthening its military potential in order to prevent China from “attacking” Taiwan.

During an expert discussion at the American Enterprise Institute, US Secretary of the Army Christine Wormuth, as well as the commander of the 25th Infantry Division of the US Army in the Asia-Pacific region, Charles Flynn, said that it looks like the time has come to prepare for a real confrontation with China over Taiwan. They also noted the important role of the country's army in conducting joint military operations.

Here is what Wormouth herself said about this:

At present, we are indeed building up our integrated air defense and missile defense combat control system in order to ensure the security of our intermediate aviation bases We are also expanding our military arsenal, including by paying attention to the refueling of our aircraft

According to the Minister of the Armed Forces, attention is being paid to the development of a hypersonic missile component. It is indicated that the first battery of such hypersonic missiles will be part of an air strike group for practical training at a joint Air Force and US Army base.

According to Flynn, the exercises conducted by the PLA indicate that Beijing is "preparing" for a military conflict with Taipei. However, the general acknowledged that huge human and military resources would be required to build an invasion army on mainland China, which, he believes, requires fighters with impeccable professional combat experience. That is, the American command is also considering the option of invading the territory of the PRC.

The Chinese follow their ancient saying: "It is better to be a monkey and watch two tigers fight from a tree." They do not understand at all that in this case they will look at China as a monkey, and not a tiger, and even more so a fire-breathing dragon.

Therefore, unlike Russia:

In terms of the invasion of the territory of Russia, mattresses already have a bitter experience, and in terms of the invasion of the territory of China, they will receive it. Along the way, in order to finally and irrevocably formalize the status of a "crap hegemon", mattresses only lack to snatch full-fledged cradles from Beijing. Considering that all the resources and supplies of the PRC, unlike the United States, are located on their native mainland, there is no reason to doubt the victory of the Chinese.

So it will not start from the Taiwan direction.

In the modern world, this tactic is deliberately erroneous and vicious (in the medium and even more so in the long term)

[voice of reason]

It's time to apply the same excuse as with Afghanistan. Americans, like, fled from Afghanistan to prepare for a confrontation with Russia in the territory of the former Ukraine.
Now you can turn off assistance to Ukraine and say we need resources to confront China for Taiwan.
And the Chinese really do sit out. we will finish our NWO and we will restore and rebuild new territories, and the whole batch will take place at their side and they will butt alone alone, and we will begin to call on the world to decide peacefully. Karma, damn it!

[Herman 4223]

Why are they bringing this topic up? It is obvious that China, if there is no provocation or something else, they will not climb into Taiwan by force. They don't need it at the moment.

[ivan1979nkl]

Taiwan will not be taken by force

but they can do a naval blockade

[Herman 4223]

A blockade is not a power option?
Isn't this the start of hostilities?
And what is the meaning of this for China now?

US Secretary of the Army Christine Vermouth

Charles Flint

That will be more correct

[Sergej1972]

The correct title is the name of the position. Minister (correctly, of course, secretary) of the army, head of the Ministry (correctly, of course, Department) of the US Army. Oversees the US Army. In the United States, it is customary to call the army the ground forces. There are also ministries of the Air Force and the Navy. All three ministers report to the US Secretary of Defense. But the US Department of the Armed Forces does not exist. The author uses, and, in my opinion, not for the first time, the wrong name.

[Sergej1972]

I wonder why someone put the minuses?) After all, this is factual information, an indisputable fact.

Your interpretations of "God's providence" are erroneous and stupid. Have you read the Bible at all? Regarding the consequences of the use of nuclear weapons, read in the "history" section, on about 500 pages, there are a couple of interesting articles, with facts and figures, based on the testing of nuclear weapons by both the USSR and the USA.

[Sergej1972]

This is not the first time I see the wrong name of the ministry on the website. Author, there is no Department of the Armed Forces in the USA! There is the Ministry (Department) of the Army, which is responsible for the ground forces. Three ministers, army, air force and navy, report to the minister of defence.

How do you imagine the US war with China? Do you think they will throw pink balloons at each other? I can assure you, they won't. In the event of a direct war between the United States and China, NATO countries and China with allies will fight, there will be an exchange of strategic nuclear forces, and if you simply believe that this will not affect Russia, then you are mistaken. No one will allow Russia to remain the only owner of a serious number of strategic nuclear forces. For the first time I see a character rejoicing that his country will undergo a nuclear attack.

In the event of a nuclear world war, it will very quickly lose any meaning for us. Chernobyl is of great importance now?

I have no idea what Katz is suggesting, but I'm writing about how you have to be a character with a donkey's head to be glad that the country will undergo an inevitable nuclear attack. In addition, a general nuclear war will not for a second bring the victory of the Russian Federation over Ukraine closer, I don’t even know who one has to be in order not to understand this.

This is something new !

the American command is also considering the option of invading the territory of the PRC.

Have they forgotten with whom they decided to face off with "tusks"? This is not Libya and Afghanistan is not very similar country with a population of 1, 411 billion people! with a modern army, air force and navy!

and it really looks like a circus, or rather a performance, the idea to divert China's possible help to Russia with this hype, somehow there have been no other events lately

80% of the planet's resources and 90% of scientific and technical resources are at the disposal of the United States. 500 million people - only the Anglo-Saxon core. And India has more people than China.
Squeezed in a blockade, China will be forced to take Siberia. We ourselves gave them a tool - a referendum supposedly. It's fun ??? Not good.

[Enverych]

We all “want” (we omit the theses about peace in the world) that the forces of Western partners are torn into 2 fronts (Ukraine and Taiwan), but I see no reason for China to greatly force events. The NWO is going quite viscous, no drastic changes are expected, but China's daily profit is obvious. And why would they risk everything and force themselves into Taiwan?
Yes, and the annexation of Taiwan is a little more difficult than it seems. It is clear that China has a huge army, but nobody needs the ruins of Taiwan either. Beijing needs an operation similar to our Crimea-2014. And for this, a too serious “distraction maneuver” is needed, which the SVO of the current intensity is not.

This is basically impossible. The RF Armed Forces have already been in Crimea, but how many PLA fighters are now in Taiwan?

China needs Taiwan for technology. It didn't fall by itself.

Well, well .. How does the Russian proverb sound in Chinese - a cat scratches on its backbone

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

Proč se USA pořád pletou do všech statů? To přece je věc Thaj-wanu a Číny!!!!!.. co mají furt potřebu se vměšovat? Už brzy to bude tak, že celý svět bude proti USA a bude ho soudit za všechny války, zločiny a biologické války, jako je Covid. Bude USA soudit za 100. miliony obětí jejich zločinecké politiky. Zajímavé je, že jejich sportovce nikdo nediskriminuje.

[Jsem_CZEKO68]

Why does the US continue to confuse itself with all the states? After all, this is the business of Taiwan and China !!!!!! .. why interfere with them? Soon it will be that the whole world will be against the USA and will judge them for all wars, crimes and biological weapons such as Covid. He will judge the US for 100 million victims of their criminal policies. Interestingly, no one discriminates against their athletes.

[Knell wardenheart]

With the invasion of China, the United States, of course, went too far)) For any Chinese metropolis it will be more abrupt than the entire Vietnam War, all this will bankrupt the Americans more than a dozen times, not to mention the moral decline associated with losses and completely insane spending on the WTO.
How do they even imagine the seizure of even part of the territory of the PRC? Well, they captured - and? How will we feed tens to hundreds of millions of refugees? And what will US friends like South Korea or Japan say to this? After all, the first "forerunners" from the PRC will mainly reach them in the event of a conflict - will they already remain with the United States when there really is a smell of fried in the air?
And what about the cutie-EU, where will the burghers get resources and deshman from - considering that they have already quarreled with the Russian Federation and that not only is the PRC supplying a bunch of rare earths, coal and deshmani, but also the submarine war will be significant near the Persian Gulf, here to do not go to the fortuneteller - if everything starts.
Will the United States already understand this?
In a conventional conflict, there is an even bigger question of who will "stagger" whom, although my imagination cannot draw a conflict of such a scale and at the same time also conventional ..

[Oleg Barchev]

You have to be a complete idiot to discuss the topic of the invasion of foreign troops into Chinese territory.

[Artur homoastricus]

If I were a believer, I would actively pray now for this to happen. This would be our chance (Russians). With such a development of events, China will willingly join the Russian-Iranian alliance, and it will already be possible to talk about sufficient parity with NATO, and hello, the third world war. This will be the last period for the current states, and then - in their place will be a small confederation of independent states, which will be far from any hegemony. Which would be very desirable.

[FoBoss_VM]

China will never invade Taiwan with PLA forces. WILL NOT BE.

[Mint Gingerbread]

Whether China wants it or not, the only option is the forceful return of the territory. After a while, nothing will change in favor of China. Taiwan will only increase in defensive potential. The United States will not go anywhere and will saturate the country with weapons. The longer China drags on, the more difficult it will be in the future. No wisdom of waiting in this case, does not work. Everything is fine and will only grow.

[Dron23]

US Secretary of the Army? Interesting ... what kind of position is this, tell me?

[alexey_Murzin]

Yes, China will not climb anywhere .. The United States will provoke on purpose .. And in China they understand this .. There is a small conflict and they will begin to impose sanctions. Sanctions for China with such a large population and not having its own resources are disastrous.
I don't think there will even be a war. The United States will find a reason to tighten China

[Christian Revuelta]

USA would be totally incapable of invading China. Americans can't fight, they're transgender pussies

[Mascot]

Certainly turning. China will return the United States back to the history of the colony and there will be a "colony hegemony".

[Petr_Koldunov]

I wonder if, in this case, we need to restrain America so that it does not invade Texas, and America - to restrain Russia so that it does not invade Tatarstan?

[Volunteer Marek]

I am sure that China will not invade anywhere. Philosophy is not the same. Oh, wait a little longer, yes! Until "the fruit itself falls to the feet." Although, this is fraught with the fact that the fetus will fall on the head and hit painfully.

[Div Divich]

Russia also did not want to fight, at first they tried to negotiate peacefully with both the Ukrainian government and NATO.

But the Americans considered that the desire for negotiations was a sign of Russia's weakness, and therefore they gave the command to their subordinate countries to prepare for war. A few days before the offensive of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, Russia entered the Donbass. What would happen if Russia did not take this step - the extermination of Russians, explosions on the territory of the Russian Federation.

In China, the situation is different, of course, but the Americans are indifferent to their philosophy, they will try to inflict wounds on the country in order to weaken and then manipulate it. China will be forced to respond to hostile actions.

The United States feels that it is many times stronger than any country in the world, and this military superiority is considered as a tool for enriching their country. And their NATO satellites are trying to earn extra money in the service of the United States.

Russia gave discounts in the CIS, and this method did not justify itself. Countries simply spend the money they save in a year and forget about the discounts they receive. We need a different motivation for the cooperation of countries with Russia, a longer action.
