    I dont see anything crazy there > Minihan said in the memo that because both Taiwan and the U.S. will have presidential elections in 2024, the U.S. will be “distracted,” and Chinese President Xi Jinping will have an opportunity to move on Taiwan.

      You need to read the full memo, sent out as an email and watch his prior speeches. The memo appears to have been admonished by actual national security experts. Irregardless of the accuracy, there are better ways to handle these things, and he doesn't seem to have proper authority to make those statements.

  Parent is presumably talking about recent comments by Gen. Mike Minihan (Air Mobility Command). IMHO, people/news are blowing it out of proportion. If the boss of FedEx said we're going to end up in a war with China, how much does that say about what defense contractors are doing? What it was probably actually about was shocking the troops assigned to AMC, establishing an important mission and raising morale, and declaring business as usual was no longer acceptable. Gotta be creative to make people excited about moving supplies. See also: every ridiculous statement by every startup CEO in a bubble, ever
