The United States and China will fight a war within the next ten years over islands in the South China Sea, and “there’s no doubt about that”.
At the same time, the US will be in another “major” war in the Middle East.
Those are the views – nine months ago at least – of one of the most powerful men in Donald Trump’s administration, Steve Bannon, the former head of far-right news website Breitbart who is now chief strategist at the White House.
While many in Trump’s team are outspoken critics of China, in radio shows Bannon hosted for Breitbart he makes plain the two largest threats to America: China and Islam.
“We’re going to war in the South China Sea in five to 10 years,” he said in March 2016.
“There’s no doubt about that.
They’re taking their sandbars and making basically stationary aircraft carriers and putting missiles on those.
They come here to the United States in front of our face – and you understand how important face is – and say it’s an ancient territorial sea.”
“You have an expansionist Islam and you have an expansionist China. Right?
They are motivated.
They’re arrogant.
They’re on the march.
And they think the Judeo-Christian west is on the retreat,” Bannon said during a February 2016 radio show.
On the day Trump was inaugurated, China’s military warned that war between the two countries was a real possibility.
“A ‘war within the president’s term’ or ‘war breaking out tonight’ are not just slogans, they are becoming a practical reality,” an official wrote on the website of the People’s Liberation Army.
Maybe a proxy war but nuke nations don't get invaded. Besides a war with China is not likely and NOT a good idea
