US Gears Up For Possible China Conflict – WSJ
The US is working to ramp up missile production in preparation for a potential conflict with China, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday, citing officials familiar with the matter. The Pentagon is reportedly pressing defense contractors to double or quadruple output amid mounting concerns over insufficient weapons stockpiles.
The US Department of Defense launched the drive in June, when it invited top missile makers to a Pentagon roundtable, sources told the paper. Led by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Dan Caine, the meeting drew major arms contractors, startups like Anduril Industries and crucial component suppliers.
Deputy Defense Secretary Steve Feinberg is playing an “unusually” hands-on role in the effort, reportedly known as the Munitions Acceleration Council. The WSJ noted that the top official personally calls some executives on a weekly basis to track their progress. President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are exploring extraordinary avenues to expand our military might and accelerate the production of munitions,” Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell told the newspaper. “This effort has been a collaboration between defense industry leaders and senior Pentagon officials.”
The new acceleration council is focused on 12 weapons that the Pentagon wants on hand for a potential conflict with China, the WSJ relayed. – RT
Our Take: So, now I suppose we are going to fire up the hype machine for the long-anticipated conflict over Taiwan? The defense industry working with top Pentagon officials to rebuild the military? How is that any different than how the system has always operated? – GhostofBasedPatrickHenry
Fuck is dividing the world into spheres of influence of major powers.
ReplyDeleteNo, Fuck is pulling back , retreating USA into the Western Hemisphere.
There will be open conflict only if China interferes in what Fuck sees as HIS turf in the Western Hemisphere.
Likely to be just hot air vented by Fuck if China invades Taiwan.
