On the 80th anniversary of Imperial Japan’s surrender aboard the USS Missouri—symbolizing the pinnacle of American sea power and the dawn of the American Century—Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec opened Tuesday’s WarRoom dissecting a chilling counterpoint: the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) and Russia’s KGB orchestrating a deliberate assault on U.S. dominance.
As they described the events over the weekend, the warning was that this is a live threat in 2025, with President Trump at the helm, demanding vaccine transparency and navigating a ticking government shutdown bomb by September 30.

Bannon kicks off by slamming the CCP’s Shanghai summit as a calculated provocation, timed symbolically to mock WWII’s end. He accuses the CCP—whom he dubs the “major font of all evil in the world”—and the KGB of convening to forge a “new World Order” explicitly designed to thwart America. The U.S., he argues, has botched its own house, from budget deficits to infrastructure woes, leaving the door open for this axis of autocrats. Posobiec echoes this, framing it through geopolitical lenses like Mackinder’s World Island theory: while the U.S. ruled the seas post-WWII, communists dominated the Eurasian landmass, a divide now exploited for total global control.
The duo exposes the CCP’s WWII hypocrisy: minimal fights against Japan, all energy funneled into crushing Nationalists for postwar takeover in 1949. Backed by Soviet arms from captured Manchurian stockpiles, Mao’s forces—enabled by Stalin’s empire-building—pushed Nationalists to Taiwan, igniting enduring flashpoints like Korea and the Taiwan Strait. Posobiec calls it Stalin’s ultimate victory: a communist bloc from Berlin to Beijing, partly gifted by U.S. missteps at Yalta.
Bannon warns of the reconvened “worst actors” eyeing not just Eurasia but the planet, with Putin (not the Russian people, he clarifies) and Xi plotting the demise of the USD as the prime reserve currency.
He called it economic warfare, amplified by feckless NATO allies crumbling under immigration crises, recessions, and bond market meltdowns in the UK and France. Posobiec ties it to eroding freedoms: Western cities turned slums, meme arrests in London, mass migration rallies in Australia—all while Eurasia tightens its grip.

BANNON: Let's be blunt. The EU doesn't have the finances, political will, or the military capacity to add anything to Ukraine.
That's why there's going to come a National Defense Authorization Act that will lay out a ONE TRILLION DOLLAR DEFENSE BUDGET. They want us in deep! pic.twitter.com/3KpD7tCDCC

For America First, action is needed: ditch NATO happy talk, partner wisely (Russian people, yes; KGB, no), redirect troops from Ukraine or Persia to clean up Chicago, NYC, and LA.
As the New Federal State of China streams Beijing’s September 3 parade, without Modi, a symbolic snub—Bannon urges vigilance.
