Four-star Air Force general Mike Minihan says he has a “gut feeling” that the United States will be at war with China in 2025.
Minihan’s statements were made in a memorandum dated for February 1st, 2023, but was leaked a bit earlier than intended. Minihan, who leads the Air Force’s Air Mobility Command (AMC), was going to send this memo to other high-ranking authorities in the Air Force and other Air Commanders underneath him.
AMC has roughly 50,000 service members and around 500 planes, and are responsible for transport and refueling.
The subject is titled: “February 2023 Orders in Preparation for – The Next Fight.”
In the subsection listed as “Situation,” Minihan had this to say:
I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me will fight in 2025. [Chinese President] Xi [Jinping] secured his third term and set his war council in October 2022.
Taiwan’s presidential elections are in 2024 and will offer Xi a reason. United States’ presidential elections are in 2024 and will offer Xi a distracted America. Xi’s team, reason, and opportunity are aligned for 2025.
Go faster. Drive readiness, integration, and agility for ourselves and the Joint Force to deter, and if required, defeat China. This is the first of 8 monthly directives from me. You need to know I alone own the pen on these orders.
My expectations are high, and these are orders are not up for negotiation. Follow them. I will be tough, fair, loving in my approach to secure victory.
The general wrote, emphasis his
The memo went on to direct the AMC personnel with “weapons qualifications [to] fire a clip into a 7-meter target with the full understanding that unrepentant lethality matters most. Aim for the head,” he wrote.
The full list of directives can be read below.
Though the screenshots of the documents were not listed in the report, NBC claims that they were first able to obtain this memo.
Since publication a defense department official issued a statement regarding the memo:
These comments are not representative of the department’s view on China.
This is an authentic internal memo from General Minihan addressed to his subordinate command teams. His order builds on last year’s foundational efforts by Air Mobility Command to ready the Mobility Air Forces for future conflict, should deterrence fail.
Furthermore, Defense Department press secretary Brig. Gen. Patrick Ryder said in a statement:
The National Defense Strategy makes clear that China is the pacing challenge for the Department of Defense and our focus remains on working alongside allies and partners to preserve a peaceful, free and open Indo-Pacific.
In March of last year The WinePress began to report on China’s pronounced ambitions that sought to invade Taiwan. Since then the U.S. has consistently postured that they would be ready to defend Taiwan militarily by whatever means necessary. China of course has not taken too kindly to this, and have threatened their own military responses since the U.S. and Japan have continued to restrengthen themselves militarily to defend Taiwan.
But whether this happens or not, even if the whole story was just a big fabrication, The Economic Ninja says this is a perfect time to make sure you have optimal supplies ready, but to also position one’s self if in the even it does happen to seize the opportunities it will create.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
[7] And when ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars, be ye not troubled: for such things must needs be; but the end shall not be yet. [8] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows.
Mark 13:7-8
If you have followed my work concerning China-Taiwan, I pretty much have already cashed-in that America will find itself involved in that war too, and probably even sooner than 2025.
Gerald Celente of The Trends Journal says it best: “When all else fails they take you to war.”
[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

Hi there I am so delighted I found your website, I really found you by mistake, while I was looking on Yahoo for something else, Regardless I am here now and would just like to say cheers for a marvelous post and a all round enjoyable blog (I also love the theme/design), I don’t have time to go through it all at the moment but I have bookmarked it and also added your RSS feeds, so when I have time I will be back to read a lot more, Please do keep up the great work.
Just about all of whatever you claim is astonishingly appropriate and that makes me wonder the reason why I had not looked at this in this light before. This particular article really did turn the light on for me personally as far as this subject matter goes. But there is just one point I am not too cozy with so whilst I attempt to reconcile that with the actual central idea of your point, allow me observe exactly what the rest of the visitors have to say.Very well done.
I went over this web site and I conceive you have a lot of great information, saved to bookmarks (:.
Throughout this grand pattern of things you actually receive a B- for effort. Exactly where you confused everybody was in your particulars. You know, as the maxim goes, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be much more correct at this point. Having said that, permit me say to you just what exactly did work. Your authoring is certainly extremely persuasive and this is possibly why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. Next, even though I can easily notice a jumps in reasoning you come up with, I am not confident of exactly how you seem to connect the details which in turn help to make the actual final result. For right now I will yield to your position but trust in the near future you connect your dots much better.
Have you ever considered about adding a little bit more than just your articles? I mean, what you say is important and all. But just imagine if you added some great photos or video clips to give your posts more, “pop”! Your content is excellent but with pics and clips, this site could definitely be one of the best in its field. Terrific blog!
