. . . the reliability of WION. They have a strong anti-china lean and may have been influenced by bannon.

However, the information that they reported about the U.S. general making the prediction and the congressman agreeing with him is accurate. Here is the link to NBC News coverage:

There were a few other media outlets that also covered the story including Reuters and The Washington Post.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/01/29/china-conflict-mccaul/

Of course, anyone who attempts to post anything about China not blessed by state media is questioned. Since WION isn't connected to Fulan Gong, then I guess the next person to blame in an attempt to discredit the report is Bannon.

WAR IS A RACKET. War is unacceptable. Fuck your long-range-prep propaganda you war hogs.
Make the rich pay for their foul wars; they make the profits. If it wasn’t all on the public dime shit would go down differently.

One progressive man, proudly standing, still on the peace train. PEACE
