Joe Biden is moving ahead with a
terrifying plan to encircle china by
planting u.s troops on islands around
the mainland country, amid growing fears of military conflict, there are mounting concerns that war
could break out between the U.S and China.
Former UK MP George Palloway warned that
an accidental military conflict could
erupt as the u.s floods the region with
its soldiers. This comes amid a high-level Pentagon
plan to send u.s troops to the pacific
to be in close quarters with china.
U.S is set to spend more than 5 billion
alone on the pacific defense initiative
in 2022 as they counter the threat of China.
RT's Rick Sanchez said we are learning
that top military officials are
indicating to congress that what they
really need to do is move u.s military
forces, actual troops to the islands
around the south china sea to be in
close quarters with china.
Some u.s experts have raised fears that
this move will put americans in danger
with china capable of striking hard and
fast in its own neighborhood if pushed.
The u.s already has over 70 000 troops
in Japan and South Korea and there are
also plans to station more troops in
australia.
China has responded to the plans by
criticizing washington's cold war and
zero-sum mentality. Wong Wen, the chinese foreign affairs
ministry spokesman said playing the
china card has become an excuse for the
u.s to increase its military expenditure
and build up its military strength.
Mr Galloway noted, "the idea of encircling
the country with the biggest population
in the world with the biggest army in
the world and the second biggest economy
in the world strikes me as madness. Encircle it for what, to blockade it? does
anyone think china will allow itself to
be blockaded?."
The idea that the u.s soldiers will be
planted on islands around china is
pregnant with so many terrifying
possibilities as to chill the blood. It feels like the run-up to the first
world war. Everyone has tooled up for war
so they might as well have a war.
On wednesday, the u.s secretary of
defense Lloyd austin issued an internal
directive to laser focus u.s military
efforts to address china as the nation's
number one pacing challenge.
The plans aim to provide billions to
upgrade u.s forces around the region, including the aegis ashore missile
defense system for Guam, new radar
defenses for hawaii and more troops near
china.
On thursday the australian defense
minister, Peter Dutton backed plans to
increase the number of american military
personnel rotating through the northern
territory and having u.s navy vessels
operate from a base near perth.
Raising the fear of impending war with China Mr Dutton said that australia must
be prepared for any contingency. He said it was more important than ever
that we have a frank and nuance
discussion with the australian people
about the threats we face.
