Anders Fogh Rasmussen on a Likely War With China

Copenhagen, May 11 (EIRNS) — The Danish daily BT published an interview with Anders Fogh Rasmussen today with the headline: “We can end up in war with China.” Rasmussen states, “Within a time frame of five to ten years, I think a Chinese attack on Taiwan were likely.... The Americans have stated that if China makes good on its threats to attack Taiwan, it will have consequences. I have no doubt for a moment that the Americans will respond militarily.” He believes that Europe should enter into a musketeer oath with the United States and Taiwan to back a U.S. response, even a military response. “It is in this light that one must see that NATO has begun to take a keen interest in China as a military threat, and if it comes to a military showdown, then I think Europe should help the Americans.”
