The Pentagon’s clandestine overview of “military power” has shown that the United States is not prepared for a war with China. In fact,  last November, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth said that in all of the Pentagon’s war games against China, we lose every time.

Not that long ago, Hegseth warned that the U.S. needed to prepare for a war. He says it is only a matter of time before China invades Taiwan, somehow making that the U.S.’s problem.

Secretary of War Says U.S. “Must Prepare For War”

“China’s military threats against Taiwan are becoming more pronounced…They do not believe it’s a question of if China will invade, but when.” Hegseth said, according to a report by The New York Times. 

China’s leader has ordered the People’s Liberation Army to be ready to seize the island of Taiwan by 2027, and past U.S. rulers have said that America would defend the island nation, protecting its ruling class at all costs.

While the war with China is still hypothetical, a real hot war between the U.S. and Venezuela could break out at any time.  Recent reports show tensions continuing to escalate as Trump uses war crimes to get his point across. 

The U.S. recently seized an oil tanker off the coast of Venezuela. Caracas accused the U.S. of blatant theft and denounced the action as one of “international piracy.”

“We’ve just seized a tanker off the coast of Venezuela – large tanker, very large, largest one ever seized, actually,” Trump said during an event at the White House, accoridng to Al Jazeera. “And other things are happening. So you’ll be seeing that later, and you’ll be talking about that later with some other people.”

“I assume we’re going to keep the oil,” the ruler added.

US Attorney General Pam Bondi posted on social media that the tanker had been seized for transporting “sanctioned oil from Venezuela and Iran.”

“For multiple years, the oil tanker has been sanctioned by the United States due to its involvement in an illicit oil shipping network supporting foreign terrorist organizations,” Bondi wrote.

The Trump administration has not been quiet about the war crimes it’s committing against the civilians of Venezuela, either. It continues to strike boats, without evidence, claiming narco terrorists are aboard, then boasts of the murders.

While a war with China seems unlikely right now, the real looming threat of a war with Venezuela is actually possible. What do you think? Will this pop off and become a war? Are we off base, and a war with China is the bigger threat? Let us know in the comments!
