A national security official under Joe Biden who reviewed the document is said to have turned pale on realising Beijing had “redundancy after redundancy” for “every trick we had up our sleeve”, The New York Times reported.
Last year, Pete Hegseth, the defence secretary, said that “we lose every time” in the Pentagon’s war games against China, and predicted the Asian country’s hypersonic missiles could destroy aircraft carriers within minutes.
Pete Hegseth explaining we lose to China every time. The guy who fucking lies about everything in the administration who fucking lies about everything.
The guy who did a tour of Europe a few months ago essentially telling our allies they will have to defend themselves because the U.S. won’t be dragged into another war.
Then committed a bunch of war crimes against civilians to drag us into yet another “war” because obviously we’re trying to plunder a bunch of oil and resources (just like the Bush administration, but even lazier story telling).
The guy who works for the administration that keeps telling us we will have to accept a surveillance state and losing even more civil rights and liberties for our own good, (just like the Bush administration, but even lazier story telling), because it’s imperative we win the “AI race” against China.
China, the “greatest threat to our freedom,” (even though we sold them the surveillance tech that enabled them spy on their citizens, which in turn helped them gain the lead in the “AI race,” which is allegedly why we now have to give up our freedom and accept our own surveillance state in the U.S. Because losing the “AI race” to China is unacceptable), wins every time we try to help defend Taiwan. So I guess we just can’t risk helping defend the people we said we would help. Once again.
The last thing I want is a bunch of war hungry NeoCons dragging us into another war, but it looks like that’s happening anyway.
So I find this “admission” from Hegseth suspicious, and I believe this is just a way to preemptively lay the groundwork so that once China does what we all know they’re going to try to do, and once Russia does what we all know they’re going to try to do, the fucking “department of war,” is going to have to be hands off because we can’t involve ourselves in the fucking war… Even if it’s to defend our allies against our own “greatest threats.”
Meanwhile we’re too busy to even try to help our allies, because we’re fighting a hot war we created by picking a fight against somebody weaker than us, and losing a made up “AI race” in the new Cold war. Which we also created as an excuse to hand over insane surveillance capabilities to the U.S. and Chinese governments, so that oligarchs in both countries could get richer helping their governments destroy civil liberty.
