(WND)—Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth recently warned that China poses an “imminent” threat to Taiwan and urged Asian allies to boost their defenses. The People’s Liberation Army is “rehearsing for the real deal,” said Hegseth at a security conference in Singapore.
For perspective on the dire prospects of war, WorldNetDaily interviewed national security expert and retired Army Lt. Col. Darin Gaub, who observed that experts have been talking about the “imminent” threat from China for many years. “I’m not discounting the possibility [of China invading Taiwan], but I’m also going to be realistic and say the Chinese military is not ready for that scale of conflict.”
Rather, said the former UH-60 Black Hawk pilot who spent time working strategic intelligence in the Pacific theater, the Chinese military’s “primary role is to police its own people, not necessarily invade foreign nations.”
While there is no formal treaty obligating the U.S. to defend Taiwan, there is enough legal basis through the Taiwan Relations Act for the U.S. to assist the small East Asian country against military threats from China. Thus, Gaub agreed, the U.S. would very likely support Taiwan’s efforts to deter the Chinese regime from the use of force to gain control of the archipelago.
And though some experts fear an escalation to World War III should America engage militarily, Gaub said, “We’re already in World War III.” The U.S., he explained, is long past concerns over an “imminent threat” from China, as America and most of the free world are already at war, minus any overtly hostile military action on the part of the Chinese Communist Party.
“The greater threat to the world than China invading Taiwan is the CCP ideology that’s been infiltrating our American institutions and international institutions for decades,” he argued. As stated in his book “Veritas Vincit: A Soldier’s Perspective on Truth, Faith, Family, and Freedom,” scheduled for release on June 15, “China continues to take over agencies and organizations within the United Nations to use them as a tool in their pursuit of global domination.”
In fact, Gaub told WND, “American universities, the United Nations and the World Health Organization are just a few examples of the different points of sustainability for Chinese infiltration” – which is to say, China has already thoroughly penetrated these key institutions and is influencing America and the world from these various battle fronts.
Indeed, the Chinese Communist Party’s infiltration of each of these entities has a real effect on local communities in America, asserted Gaub. “The threat from China is not a Chinese aircraft carrier rolling across the ocean to invade Taiwan; it’s the infestation of national and worldwide institutions that’s driving politicians and leaders of our communities to make bad decisions, whether they know it or not,” he said.
“It’s happening in local communities everywhere people live, because it’s all about control for the Chinese regime – and that’s the preeminent threat.”

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
WWIII was the Cold War which Gaub apparently missed.
Some of us have been waging WWIV for a couple of decades already, Darin.
God does not allow nations to have peace while they reject Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. All of the skirmishes, conflicts and wars are the natural consequences of living life without God.

Why can’t humans just chill the F out.?? We’re definitely going to have WW3, these ass hats are speaking into existence.. to me they’re just conditioning us to accept it..
You know what these elites won’t do?? Send their kids to fight this war.. Im sick of foreign wars and propping up this country or that country.. can we please worry about ourselves for once?? Our infrastructure is falling apart,all of it..
. I travel a lot and every road in every state has potholes and destruction.. Some cities are starting to look like 3rd world countries.. Homeless people are everywhere and it’s only getting worse with time.. How about we clean up our own house before we do anything else..
WW3 lmao. What your seeing is the biggest gaslighting operation in history. The government brought these people into this country with the help of governors that are as corrupt as can be for a show to make the sheep think something is getting done cause they don’t won’t to help the American people like they say.
Have you received any of the money found that was stolen ? No
Has inflation gone down ? Another No
Wake up people their still playing games while the American people suffer. It’s all a show and the illegals are being payed by the government and military their called crisis actors.
I know this is kind of chopped up but look at the evidence.
They bring them in and they pay the ones that will cooperate with their lies their called crisis actors and then they fake a big roundup as to make you think they are doing what you want. It’s all called treason! plane and simple.

Taiwan will be a “feint”. The real intent will be to hit the US. Nukes will be used on US military infrastructure. Russia and China will then invade the US mainland using a scorched earth approach. The electric grid will be gone. Foof very scarce. Sanitation not functioning. Of course this will be after the civil war that is just beginning in the US, when the US is at it weakest point. A window of opportunity.

I would argue “israel’s” control over the US government, combined with jewish control over much of the mainstream sources of information in the US (i.e. the MSM, Hollywood, advertising, publishing, etc.) , is a much bigger threat to the USA than China will ever be. Remember, the Jews INVENTED communism.
