Hegseth said war is imminent. I have no idea is that's true bit this is the sort of thing you do when you expect war is near.
I've never seen a Republican that didn't want a war.
That would presume that they have any kind of plan.
Have you forgotten project 2025?
That's a self-contradictory bunch of fascist fantasies but not a coherent plan. So OK, technically they do have a plan, you got me there.
Coherence is immaterial. They’re following it, and they’ve accomplished significant amounts of what the plan defines. Dismissing it because it’s a dumb plan is extremely myopic and dangerous.
Umberto Eco’s third tenet of fascism: The cult of action for action’s sake.
“Action being beautiful in itself, it must be taken before, or without, any previous reflection. Thinking is a form of emasculation.”
If you look at the individual cards on that site, it's incredibly frightening. Especially about cutting medicaid, it was their plan all along.
They have a concept of a plan.
I must have missed the War With China chapter. Where was it?
I was just arguing that they have plans. There will be plans for China but you have to look elsewhere.
Best I can do:
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elbridge_Colby
https://stopaapihate.org/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/SAH-Project-2025-Analysis-PDF.pdf
It pretty explicitly includes language around id-ing, segregating, and deporting everyone of East Asian descent, starting with Han Chinese residents.

This is followed by a strategy of isolation and encirclement, intended to cut China off from the natural resources of Africa, Latin America, and the Pacific Rim.
Finally, the US planned mass domestic agitation combined with proxy wars along the periphery in order to destabilize and eventually topple the Federal government in the same way the US cracked up Yugoslavia and the USSR.
Full Balkanization of China is the stated goal.
War is imminent as soon as they figure out how to get there
