A Jan. 27 memo from U.S. Air Force General Mike Minihan to Air Force commanders, predicting a war with China in 2025 has been obtained by NBC News. In the memo General Minihan ordered all air wing commanders in Air Mobility Command and other Air Force operational commanders to report to him by the end of February on their efforts to prepare for the China fight.
“I hope I am wrong…. My gut tells me we will fight in 2025. Xi secured his third term and set his war council in October 2022. Taiwan’s presidential elections are in 2024 and will offer Xi a reason. United States’ presidential elections are in 2024 and will offer Xi a distracted America. Xi’s team, reason, and opportunity are all aligned for 2025,” he wrote.
