(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.”

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
Your “expert” doesn’t even understand basic facts. The Republic of China – Taiwan – has never renounced its claim to being the government of China – “mainland” China/The Peoples’ Republic of China. Until it does, and declares independence from the Peoples’ Republic of China, it is not a separate country, it is China.
Hegseth gets a hard on every time someone says the word war. His only regret in life is being born too late to have been in the Vietnam war. Being an appliance operator like he was is a whole world away from being a real soldier. If he was put into the front lines in Ukraine facing the Russians, he’d probably run away crying and looking for his mummy.
Well, he’s an idiot. WWII never ended.
