Call for US to move with ‘urgency’ against China’s militaristic push for Taiwan

The US is looking to “prevent war” not fight it, as former US Army Vice Chief of Staff General Jack Keane calls for America to move with “urgency” and prevent China’s President Xi Jinping from taking over Taiwan. “We’re not looking to fight a war, we’re looking to prevent war,” General Keane told Sky News host Danica De Giorgio. “We didn’t prevent what’s happening in Ukraine, we did not deter Russia, we haven’t deterred the Iranians and their proxies. “We need to make certain that we’re going to deter President Xi, after all, he has told his military, be ready by 2027 if Taiwan doesn’t voluntarily submit to re-unification, then we may have to use force to achieve that re-unification. “Right now, we got to move with a sense of urgency to get the kind of deterrence capability we need to make certain he doesn’t take that step.”
