House Subcommittee on Readiness Chairman Mike Waltz says China will soon try to invade Taiwan and also says the DOD needs to move away from 'woke' policies.
Minihan directed his Air Force commanders to report back by Feb. 28 on steps they will take to prepare for the war against China.
"I think this memo is spot on," Waltz added."This is the type of mentality that we need our soldiers to see and that we need the Chinese Communist Party to see." Meanwhile, Waltz said the Department of Defense’s focus on climate, COVID vaccine mandates and social policies has deterred young adults from joining the military and could hurt United States’ readiness.
Waltz noted that some officials in the Biden administration have said climate change is an"existential threat" to the United States. That's a reference to comments made by the secretary of the Army, who said the United States should"take all of our tanks and fighting vehicles electric within the next couple of decades."
Officials like FBI Director Christopher Wray, CIA Director William Burns and Director of National Intelligence Avril Haines have repeatedly warned that China poses the greatest threat to the national security of the U.S. Other officials, like climate czar John Kerry, are more focused on the threat of climate change.
Still, Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder told Fox News Digital that the Biden administration’s National Defense Strategy"makes clear that China is the pacing challenge for the Department of Defense, and our focus remains on working alongside allies and partners to preserve a peaceful, free and open Indo-Pacific."
