U.S. military focuses solely on China as threat

The Pentagon has revealed a new military strategy focused solely on China as the main foreign threat. This internal document indicates that the U.S. will redirect its efforts away from other global conflicts, leaving allies in Europe and the Middle East to manage their own security. The strategy, shared with Congress, identifies two key areas: countering China's potential takeover of Taiwan and combating domestic terrorism. New Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth believes Taiwan is at imminent risk, reflecting long-standing concerns from former President Donald Trump and current President Joe Biden regarding Chinese ambitions. Hegseth's paper suggests that U.S. military resources in the Middle East and Europe should instead be repositioned to prioritize the Indo-Pacific region. This shift has generated confusion among lawmakers, as it appears contradictory to U.S. involvement in ongoing conflicts while reducing presence elsewhere. The strategy aligns closely with a conservative initiative called "Project 2025." Critics worry that these proposals could undermine democratic principles and civil rights. Hegseth's recent visit to Guam highlights the U.S. commitment to strengthening its military response to China.
