I hope I’m wrong, but I have a feeling that we will go to war in 2025 – wrote General Mike Minihan in his letter to the officers of the Air Mobility Command, which he heads.
The Air Mobility Command has 50,000 members and almost 500 aircraft, and is responsible for transportation and fuel supply.
While his assessment does not reflect that of the Pentagon, it shows there is concern among senior US military officers that China may try to seize control of Taiwan, an island it claims as its territory.
Both the US and Taiwan are expecting elections
Both the US and Taiwan are facing presidential elections in 2024, which could create an opportunity for China to take military action, Minihan wrote.
Those remarks do not reflect the position of the Ministry of Defense on China – said the official of the ministry.
US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said earlier this month that increased Chinese military activity near the Taiwan Strait was not a sign of an impending invasion by Beijing.
Air Force Brigadier General Patrick Ryder commented that the military rivalry with China remains one of the main challenges and that the main focus is to work with allies and partners to keep the Indo-Pacific peaceful, free and open. prneos Hayat
