Hopefully only crypto-extinction events. US Air Force Gen. Mike Minihan predicts China war in 2025By Mary Kay Linge January 28, 2023 12:57pm Updated The Department of Defense sought to downplay the memo, which warned of potentially imminent war with China.Stephen Pulter / U.S. Air Force MORE ON: CHINA NYPD continues chasing clout on TikTok despite national security fears US two-front fentanyl folly, war on gas stoves is real and other commentary The Mike Pompeo speech on China’s influence on US universities that MIT killed Bride takes revenge on her exes — with surprise at her wedding A four-star Air Force general has told his officers to prepare for war with China within two years — instructing them to drill service members “with the full understanding that unrepentant lethality matters most.” “I hope I am wrong,” Mike Minihan, head of the 50,000-member Air Mobility Command, wrote in the chilling Friday memo, NBC News reported. “My gut tells me we will fight in 2025.” The Department of Defense sought to downplay the memo. “These comments are not representative of the department’s view on China,” a spokesperson said. But Minihan, a 32-year Air Force veteran based at Scott Air Force Base in Illinois, laid out his premise in terms of geopolitical logic, as tensions between China and Taiwan continue to mount. “[Chinese President] Xi [Jinping] secured his third term and set his war council in October 2022,” the general wrote. “Taiwan’s presidential elections are in 2024 and will offer Xi a reason. United States’ presidential elections are in 2024 and will offer Xi a distracted America. “Xi’s team, reason, and opportunity are all aligned for 2025,” Minihan concluded.
