Judge Napolitano – AMB. Charles Freeman : Is Hegseth Picking a Fight With China

June 4, 2025.

Ambassador Charles Freeman provides a critical analysis of U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's recent remarks at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Freeman contends that Hegseth's characterization of China as a "real and imminent threat" and his calls for increased defense spending among Asian allies reflect a confrontational approach that could escalate tensions in the Asia-Pacific region.

Freeman emphasizes the importance of diplomatic engagement over military posturing, warning that aggressive rhetoric and actions may provoke unintended consequences. He highlights the risks associated with undermining established norms and the potential for miscalculations that could lead to conflict.
