BREAKING: “Peace Through Strength” Returns to the Indo-Pacific – U.S. Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth Delivers Major Policy Speech at IISS Shangri-La Dialogue 2025
In a reaffirmation of America's renewed global posture, U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth took the stage at the 22nd IISS Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore, delivering what many are calling the most sweeping and strategic U.S. Indo-Pacific defense vision since President Reagan’s Cold War addresses. Against the backdrop of escalating geopolitical tensions, Hegseth laid out President Donald J. Trump’s defense doctrine in no uncertain terms: "America is back—and we are here to stay."
“We Are Preparing for War to Deter War”
With military leaders, defense ministers, and policy makers from across Asia and the globe in attendance, Secretary Hegseth didn’t mince words.
“We are preparing for war in order to deter war,” he declared. “To achieve peace through strength.”
The U.S. defense strategy is now being anchored on three pillars: restoring the warrior ethos, rebuilding the military, and reestablishing global deterrence—starting in the Indo-Pacific, now designated America’s "priority theater."
Hegseth announced a historic $1 trillion defense budget for 2026—an unprecedented 13% increase aimed at rapidly enhancing American lethality, readiness, and force projection. He also unveiled advancements in sixth-generation fighter jets, next-gen stealth bombers, hypersonic systems, and AI-integrated missile defense systems.

Calling Out China: “The Threat is Real—and It Could Be Imminent”
In what may be the most forceful public statement yet under President Trump’s second term, Hegseth issued a grave warning to Beijing:
“The threat China poses is real—and it could be imminent. We hope not. But it certainly could be.”
While reiterating that the U.S. does not seek conflict or domination, he made it clear that any attempt by the Chinese Communist Party to invade Taiwan—or intimidate its regional neighbors—would be met with “devastating consequences.”
He cited China's militarization of the South China Sea, cyber warfare campaigns, economic coercion, and hybrid war tactics as clear evidence of its hegemonic ambitions. Notably, he reminded attendees that Chinese President Xi Jinping has ordered the PLA to be ready for an invasion of Taiwan by 2027.
“We will not be pushed out of this region. We will not allow our allies to be subordinated.”
Trump Doctrine 2.0: Realignment with America’s Allies
Hegseth emphasized that President Trump’s “America First” doctrine is not “America Alone.” Instead, it calls for a redistribution of defense responsibilities across America’s allies:
NATO partners are now pledging 5% of GDP on defense.
The Indo-Pacific Quad (U.S., Japan, India, Australia) is stepping up coordination.
The Philippines, Australia, and Japan will see increased forward deployments.
The Golden Dome Initiative will strengthen homeland missile defense and extend deterrence across Asia.
“Deterrence doesn’t come cheap,” Hegseth told delegates. “Just ask the American taxpayer.”
He called on Indo-Pacific allies to follow Europe’s example in boosting defense budgets, specifically naming India as a “critical partner” and praising new production agreements on munitions and autonomous systems.

AI, Cyber, and Industrial Resilience
Hegseth announced a new multilateral initiative—PIPER (Partnership for Indo-Pacific Industrial Resilience)—designed to rebuild U.S. and allied defense industrial capacity, including:
Regional repair centers for U.S. Navy and Air Force platforms.
Joint production of 155mm artillery and rocket systems in Australia.
AI-powered autonomous systems to enable rapid, real-time defense coordination.
He called AI “a game-changer” and underscored cyber operations as the “new front line of modern warfare.”
Deterrence Built on Common Sense, Not Ideology
Perhaps most striking was Hegseth’s insistence that under President Trump, the U.S. is abandoning the moralistic, ideological foreign policy of the past.
“We are not here to pressure you about climate change or cultural issues. We are not here to preach. We are here to work with you on shared interests.”
He referenced the pragmatic legacy of Singapore’s founding Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew as being in alignment with Trump’s philosophy: respect for sovereignty, national interests, and realpolitik over ideology.
Revelation 911
Is this the final chapter of history?
In Revelation 911, Pastor Paul Begley and six-time #1 bestselling author Troy Anderson reveal jaw-dropping links between today’s global chaos and ancient end-time prophecies. From pandemics to political unrest, this powerful book decodes the signs and prepares believers for what’s coming next.
A Call to Arms—For Peace
The speech ended on a sobering note. Hegseth reflected on his visit to Pearl Harbor and the Manila American Cemetery, reminding the audience of the high price of unpreparedness.
“Those who long for peace must prepare for war. And that’s exactly what we’re doing.”
Analysis & Prophetic Insight | Troy Anderson
As I sat listening to Secretary Hegseth’s address, I couldn’t help but draw a direct line between these developments and the themes in The Trump Code. This isn’t just geopolitics—it’s prophecy in motion. The rise of global alliances, the confrontation with China, and America’s reassertion of strength all mirror patterns found in the pages of Scripture and end-time forecasts. This moment may very well be the pivot point in the great spiritual and global battle of our age.
