NBC/AP: Retired U.S. general says war with China likely in 15 years
"I think in 15 years — it's not inevitable — but it is a very strong likelihood that we will be at war with China," said retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges.
WARSAW, Poland — The former commander of the U.S. Army in Europe warned Wednesday that it's very likely the United States will be at war with China in 15 years.
Retired Lt. Gen. Ben Hodges said that European allies will have to do more to ensure their own defenses in face of a resurgent Russia because America will need to focus more attention on defending its interests in the Pacific.
"The United States needs a very strong European pillar. I think in 15 years — it's not inevitable — but it is a very strong likelihood that we will be at war with China," Hodges told a packed room at the Warsaw Security Forum, a two-day gathering of leaders and military and political experts from central Europe.

Well, I'm sure after retirement Mr. Hodges will slide right into a lucrative lobbying gig for some defense contractor or at some bulls#$t think tank advocating for targeted kinetic attacks to further democracy and the American way.
He'll collect some sweet cash, maybe go on TV every now and then, and then drop dead by the time any of this s$%t plays out.
The US military excels at churning out these run of the mill schmucks. Just turn on the TV and you to can see some retired, rich a$$ colonel or general spouting nonsense about bombing the s#$t out of this or that country somewhere in Asia. Good work if you can get it.
Oh China wants war?
Guess who would jump on them in SE Asia?
Vietnam (who they threatened with war just 2 yrs ago)
Japan (strong ally of US)
Australia (ally)
New Zealand (ally)
Philippines (ally)
and of course
the mighty USA itself (bye, China lol)
all of EU and NATO (bye, China)
Taiwan would also use the opportunity
South Korea
...
and to China's west, its long-time enemy India (about the same population size as China, mind you) would invade right away
China is completely surrounded by enemies they made for themselves (so smart Chinese haha)
