Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has reoriented the U.S. military to prioritize deterring China’s seizure of Taiwan and shoring up homeland defense by “assuming risk” in Europe and other parts of the world, according to a secret internal guidance memo that bears the fingerprints of the conservative Heritage Foundation, including some passages that are nearly word-for-word duplications of text published by the think tank last year.

The document, known as the Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance and marked “secret/no foreign national” in most passages, was distributed throughout the Defense Department in mid-March and signed by Hegseth. It outlines, in broad and sometimes partisan detail, the execution of President Donald Trump’s vision to prepare for and win a potential war against Beijing and defend the United States from threats in the “near abroad,” including Greenland and the Panama Canal.

The first Trump administration and the Biden administration characterized China as the greatest threat to the U.S. and postured the force to prepare for and deter conflict in the Pacific region. But Hegseth’s guidance is extraordinary in its description of the potential invasion of Taiwan as the exclusive animating scenario that must be prioritized over other potential dangers — reorienting the vast U.S. military architecture toward the Indo-Pacific region beyond its homeland defense mission.

Not sure if west doesnt know abt the interconnectedness of tech sectors/mfg... they hav many scientific amd r&d facilities even decades ago tho....
(To pulloff the name, Lyric...)
....


...

So byd proposed to build factory 2 years ago? In india?

....

"Indian firms race to forge China ties ahead of Rs 25,000 crore electronics component incentive scheme rollout
[...]The initiative targets key components like display modules, sub-assembly camera modules, printed circuit board assemblies, lithium cell enclosures, resistors, capacitors, and ferrites, aiming to attract investment and create jobs.[...]Moneycontrol previously reported that the government is open to JVs between Indian and Chinese companies with appropriate checks and balances. The interministerial committee, chaired by the Home Ministry, will evaluate each proposal on a case-by-case basis.[...]
Micromax, which recently partnered with Taiwan’s Phison Electronics to produce storage modules and also formed a joint venture with China's Huaqin through its group company, Bhagwati Electronics, has mapped out a decade-long plan to build India’s electronics component ecosystem and is in the final stages of key joint ventures.[...]Dixon Technologies has also formed a joint venture with China's HKC to produce display modules by July-September 2025. The company is also exploring similar partnerships for precision components, mechanicals, camera modules, and battery packs.[...]Notably, Dixon has already received the government nod for its stake purchase in Ismartu India, a subsidiary of China's Transsion. It is currently awaiting a nod for its joint venture with Chinese handset maker Vivo to make the latter's smartphones available in India.[...]"

(Seem india wants alot of tech transfers? Seems the articles dont talk abt whether CN regulators will approve or not? What r the chances of Ind1a not turning against CN again after helping develop indian local eletronics industry? Or even supply anti CN entities?)

FOX News host discusses the forcible seizure of Greenland:

"We don't need friends. If we have to burn some bridges with Denmark to take Greenland. We're big boys. We dropped atomic bombs on Japan, and now they're our allies. America is not bound by history," Fox News host Jesse Watters said.

Yep, perfect summary of US foreign policy.

Like I always say, this is straight out of the comic books.

The lying Liberal media and Faux News.

What a combo!

Till eternity! Trump!
