/Pgled.info/ The White House requested a record budget of 842 billion dollars for the Pentagon in 2024. American analysts believe that in this way the US has announced its preparations for war simultaneously with China and Russia. Beijing is also preparing for war.
Where does so much money go?
The Pentagon has traditionally broken records for spending budget funds every year. US Army Requests for 2024 however, they talk about real preparation of the American administration for a war on two fronts at the same time – with Russia and China. At least that’s according to Fox News Redacted News anchor Clayton Morris.
The US has just announced that it is preparing for war with China and Russia at the same time, because you can’t have one without the other, right? See what happens when people start losing power? They become very dangerous. And the US is losing power very fast, – said Morris, whose words were quoted by RIA Novosti.
For 2024 The White House has requested a record astronomical $842 billion budget for the Defense Department. That’s 26 billion more than this year and almost 100 billion more than 2022. Clayton Morris made this assessment after Pentagon chief Lloyd Austin recently announced the US military budget for 2024.
According to the expert, America’s military spending plans are “directly targeting China”the budget calls for a 40% increase in “attacking China” spending. According to Lloyd Austin, China with its growing economy represents “the most obvious and serious threat to US national security.”
From numerous statements by US officials, including the president, the heads of the State Department and the Department of Defense, it is clear that the main reason for the fears of the US establishment is not the mythical threat of China attacking the US or anyone else but the loss of the United States of levers for financial and economic dominance in the world due to China’s rapid economic growth. This means removing the hegemony of Washington, which the American elite cannot allow under any circumstances.
China is also getting ready
The Chinese leadership is aware of this. The thoughts expressed on this matter by Xi Jinping at the March session of the PRC’s highest legislative body, the Chinese National People’s Congress (NPC), are quite telling. He directly attacked the United States, departing from his habit of not calling Washington an adversary. Xi called the US and its allies the main cause of China’s current problems.
Western countries, led by the United States, have carried out suppression, encirclement and containment against us from all sides, which has posed unprecedented challenges to our country’s development,
– said the President of the People’s Republic of China. Based on this understanding, the Chinese leadership sees the provocation of war by the US as a very likely and desirable way for the Americans to contain Beijing and prevent it from becoming an absolutely unattainable economic competitor for Washington.
In this regard, one of the recent articles in the American magazine Foreign Affairs under the characteristic title “Xi Jinping Said He Is Preparing China For War” again paying attention to himself. The article states that at the March 14 session of the National Committee of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC) and the aforementioned session of the Chinese People’s Political Consultative Conference, “Xi Jinping touched on the subject of readiness for war in four separate speeches, in one instance asking his generals to be ready to fight.”
The Chinese government, Foreign Affairs points out, “simultaneously announced a 7.2% increase in the defense budget, which has doubled in the past decade, as well as plans to make the country less dependent on foreign grain imports”. In addition “in recent months, Beijing has promulgated new laws on military preparedness, announced new bomb shelters in cities around the Taiwan Strait and the creation of new mobilization centers across the country.”
It is too early to say for sure what these events mean. Conflict is not inevitable. But something has changed in Beijing. Politicians and business leaders around the world cannot ignore this. If Xi says he is preparing for war, it would be foolish not to take his word for it.
– states Foreign Affairs.
The battle cry of the Chinese
In confirmation of the hitherto fair theses expressed by Foreign Affairs, it is necessary to cite an article also published at the beginning of March in the main theoretical journal of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China, “Qunxi”, entitled “Under the leadership of Xi Jinping, thinking of strengthening the army, we will advance victoriously”. It specifically states that “the modernization of the national defense and the armed forces must be accelerated.” The article calls for “strengthening civil-military fusion as Comrade Xi’s policies require private companies and civilian institutions to support China’s efforts to modernize the military.”
Foreign Affairs specifically pointed out that an article in the theoretical journal of the CPC Central Committee echoed Xi’s speech to Chinese military leaders in October 2022, when the Chinese leader “delivered veiled blows to the United States.”
Faced with wars that may be forced upon us, we must speak to our enemies in a language they understand in order to win peace and respect. In the new era, the People’s Army advocates the use of force to end hostilities.
Our army is famous for fighting well and having a strong fighting spirit. It defeated the Kuomintang army equipped with American equipment. She defeated the world’s number one heavily armed enemy on the Korean battlefield and enacted mighty and majestic battle dramas that shook the world and made ghosts and gods weep.
– says an article in a Chinese magazine that sounds more like a battle cry than a theory.
Under the laws of wartime
There are other signs that China’s leaders are preparing for a possible conflict with the US. In December, Beijing drafted a new law that would allow China’s People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to deploy its reserve forces more freely and refine the system for replenishing combat units in the event of war.
The Military Reservist Act, Foreign Affairs notes, is not the only legal change that testifies to Beijing’s military preparations. In February this year, the supreme advisory body of the Chinese National People’s Congress decided to adjust the application of some provisions of the Criminal Code during wartime.
The organ of the CPC Central Committee, Zhenmin Zhibao, wrote that this gives China’s military command “the right to adjust statutory provisions, including … coercive measures, case management, investigation, prosecution, trial and execution of sentences” against the population during the war.
Disturbing findings
It is difficult for any normal analyst to be convinced that China is interested in war with the US, Taiwan or anyone else. China, whose history spans five thousand years, is in no hurry. He is not ready to give up on Taiwan. But he is willing to wait a long time for Taiwan to “return to its home port” on an evolutionary path. This is exactly what happened to Hong Kong and Macau.
Any war with the United States, which could turn into an exchange of nuclear strikes, would become a brake on the country’s rapid economic development. But this is exactly what the States need, which openly call China, or rather its economic progress, a threat to itself.
Which sounds completely absurd, unless you consider that money is the only god that America’s globalist elite worship. Therefore, the Pentagon, asking for an astronomical budget for 2024, seems really to be preparing for war with China. The White House will provoke Beijing into military action against Taiwan and convince the Americans that the Chinese are about to land somewhere in California or Florida and therefore a pre-emptive strike is necessary.
This nonsense is replicated by all the American media, which are in the service of the “Washington Swamp”. Even the once serious journal Foreign Affairs (considered an unofficial “organ” of the State Department) of which we speak in this article has, like the vast majority of other American “serious publications”, into an openly propaganda mouthpiece of an American globalist elite.
Forced to prepare for war amid Washington’s provocative policies and military preparations, Beijing’s response was described by Foreign Affairs as “a new stage in China’s political war of intimidation campaign on Taiwan”. China, writes the magazine, “is clearly prepared to use force to seize the island”.
At the same time, the author of an article in Foreign Affairs, turning everything upside down, de facto directly threatens Beijing on behalf of the State Department: “What remains unclear is whether China believes it can do this without risking an uncontrolled escalation of relations with the United States.”. What do you say? Does the American establishment have serious mental issues? The bad thing is that his disease is dangerous for the whole world.
