United States Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin has told a gathering of top security officials he doesn’t see war with China as imminent, nor unavoidable, despite rapidly escalating tensions in the Asia-Pacific region.
I can’t remember where I’ve seen it, but several high-level American military leaders, like generals and planners, have stated that war with China is inevitable within something like the next ~3-6 years. There was even a leaked internal memo on it. It’s not just them or me talking shit. The US Navy and Marine Corps has even started restructuring and practicing for it. They’ve started switching their doctrines to using smaller spread out units and the Marine Corps even got rid of tanks entirely. There’s also been a political efforts to move chip manufacturing from Taiwan to the continental US and establishing general manufacturing in Mexico to develop economic independence from China.
I just got up, so I’m too lazy to post links, but do an internet search. It seems pretty real.

People have been saying shit like this for 30 years. It’s not inevitable, but there is a risk and they want to be prepared for it.
