Former NATO Commander Believes China Won't Be Ready For A War With The US 'For About 10 Years'

Business Insider: Former NATO commander reckons that China won't be ready for a war with the US 'for about 10 years' 

* Retired US Navy Adm. James Stavridis says China isn't ready to fight the US in the next 10 years. 

* "If we ended up in a war with China, it wouldn't be just the US and China," Stavridis said. 

* Stavridis said US allies such as Japan and South Korea would come to their aid if war breaks out. 

China wouldn't be able to fight the US if war were to break out within the next decade, said a former NATO supreme allied commander. 

"China, in my estimation, will not be ready to take on the US in a very mature way for about 10 years," retired US Navy Adm. James Stavridis said in an interview on The Michael Medved Show, which aired on Wednesday. 

Stavridis had served as NATO chief from 2009 to 2013. Before taking the helm of NATO, he was the Commander of the US Southern Command from 2006 to 2009, overseeing military operations in Latin America.

WNU Editor: I do not share retired US Navy Adm. James Stavridis' view on China's capabilities that far in the future. My gut tells me that China will be ready sooner. Maybe within 5 years.

I think they move within the next 6-9 months. Dementia Joe is in charge, they know he and his staff are totally incompetent.

They also know if Trump wins he will blast them back to 1995. Even if threats are bogus they know he just might to it, ask Solomeni from Iraq.

Oh you cant he's about a million pieces now spread around Baghdad Airport. They know he's a wild card.

Oh and Happy New Year 2024!!!!

This seems more like wishful thinking than actual analysis.
