The first #Trump admin & the #Biden admin characterized #China as the greatest threat to the #US & postured the force to prepare for & 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 US #military architecture toward the Indo-Pacific region beyond homeland defense.

The doc, known as the Interim National Defense Strategic Guidance & marked “secret/no foreign national” in most passages, was distributed throughout the #Defense Dept in mid-March & signed by #Hegseth. It outlines, in broad & partisan detail, the execution of #Trump’s vision to prepare for & win a potential #war against #China & defend the #UnitedStates from threats in the “near abroad,” including #Greenland & the #PanamaCanal.

#SecDef #PeteHegseth has reoriented the US #military to prioritize deterring #China’s seizure of #Taiwan & shoring up homeland #defense by “assuming risk” in #Europe & other parts of the world, acc/to a *secret* internal guidance memo that bears the fingerprints of the conservative #HeritageFoundation, including some passages that are nearly word-for-word duplications of text published by the think tank last year.

Secret #Pentagon memo on #China, #HomelandSecurity has #HeritageFoundation fingerprints

An internal guidance memo from #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth focuses on deterring China’s seizure of #Taiwan & shoring up homeland defense. In some instances, the document is nearly a word-for-word facsimile of a report from the conservative think tank behind #Project2025.
