Title: Pentagon Leaders Say New Budget Will Help Prepare for War With China

Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin and Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told Congress at a Thursday hearing that the Pentagon’s 2024 budget request will help the country prepare for a future war with China.

Milley insisted the Pentagon’s massive $842 billion budget request is meant to deter war but said it will also prepare the US military to fight one. He told the House Appropriations subcommittee on defense that deterring and preparing for a conflict “is extraordinarily expensive, but it’s not as expensive as fighting a war. And this budget prevents war and prepares us to fight it if necessary.”

The Pentagon identified China as the “most comprehensive and serious challenge to US national security strategy” in the 2022 National Defense Strategy, and lately, US military leaders have been speaking more explicitly about how they’re preparing for a direct war with China despite the risk of nuclear war. President Biden has also vowed to defend Taiwan in the event of a Chinese attack.


Poster Comment:

There is no way the US could wage a war against China with the weapons and the military we have even if we doubled the DOD budget from $886 billion to $1.772 trillion. Of course we would have to print an awful lot of dollars to pay for it and the higher interest rate bogus nations with fake currencies have to pay.

Considering where our computer chips come from and all our hardware, is anyone really thinking that we are actually going to be capable of fighting our own supplier?

This country was saddled with a broken back on Christmas Eve in 1913 and we have been saddled with the treason of a political party, and a religious group of traitors ever since. You cannot trust a government to look out for its people when a bunch of the leaders have dual loyalties. This nation is to be destroyed by design. We are not the heroes of this story when it comes to the book of revelation. We are the villains. We are not who we think we are. The leader with the head wound is The head with the crown that carries a grievous wound is Joe Biden.

Make no mistakes folks, we are to be destroyed for the good of the world. We just don’t know why yet.

If the Chinese cut us off, we would have no antibiotics and a dozen other things that would grind this country to a halt. And if they don't buy our Treasury bonds, we will have to print a few trillion dollars.
