My gut tells me we will fight in 2025,\u201d He wrote. \u201cXi secured his third term and set his war council in October 2022.

He\u2019s watching for an absence of resolve. And if he sees opportunity, he will seize that very opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Michael McCaul, Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee (Republican from Texas), stated Sunday that there is a possibility of a conflict between China and the United States by 2025. \u201care very high.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope he\u2019s wrong \u2026\u201d McCaul spoke. \u201cI think he\u2019s right, though, unfortunately.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe have to be prepared for this,\u201d McCaul spoke. \u201cAnd it could happen \u2026 as long as Biden is in office \u2014 projecting weakness as he did with Afghanistan that led to Putin invading Ukraine \u2014 that the odds are very high we could see a conflict with China and Taiwan and the Indo-Pacific.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Rep.
