There’s always a war coming eventually. The media has been warning us to expect one with North Korea. Hollywood is releasing a movie about Churchill fighting Hitler just before Christmas. Nostradamus warned us centuries ago that WWIII would be fought in the early 21st century (and will probably be over by 2028.) Our government/military is now warning us about an imminent “big-ass” war too.
At the Washington Post we are told:
“As the Marines’ top general, Neller is a member of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Pentagon’s senior-most leadership team responsible for contingency planning. It is unclear to what extent his comments were indicative of an actual war to come or merely meant as a pep talk for troops stationed far from home over the Christmas holiday. A spokesman for the general did not immediately respond to questions sent by email Saturday.
With unusual fanfare, President Trump unveiled a new National Security Strategy last week that cast China and Russia as competitors for global power and potential threats to the United States.
“China and Russia challenge American power, influence, and interests, attempting to erode American security and prosperity,” the document states. “They are determined to make economies less free and less fair, to grow their militaries, and to control information and data to repress their societies and expand their influence.”
from the article at Zerohedge.com here:
“Pointing towards the near future possibility of Russia and the Pacific theater being the next major areas of conflict, a US Marine Corps commandant warned troops station in Norway to be prepared for a coming war….
“I hope I’m wrong, but there’s a war coming,” Gen. Robert Neller told them.
“You’re in a fight here, an informational fight, a political fight, by your presence.”
Fox News writes that Neller pointed to the near future possibility of Russia and the Pacific theater being the next major areas of conflict.
Sgt. Maj. Ronald Green sounded a similar tone.
“Just remember why you’re here,” Green said.
“They’re watching. Just like you watch them, they watch you. We’ve got 300 Marines up here; we could go from 300 to 3,000 overnight. We could raise the bar.”
The warnings came a day before Defense Secretary Jim Mattis told troops at Fort Bragg, N.C., that “storm clouds are gathering” over the Korean Peninsula.
At a Q&A session with the troops in the Norwegian Home Guard base near Trondheim, Neller said that the U.S. could shift its focus from the Middle East to Eastern Europe, citing Russia’s conflicts with Ukraine and Georgia as justification.
He told the Marines that they should be prepared for a “big-ass fight” on the horizon.”
