US Defense Secretary: A New Era of Superpower Confrontation Is Coming

Sputnik News, Washington, January 6th - US Secretary of War Hagel said that the world is now in a new era of superpower confrontation.

Hagel said during a speech to shipyard workers in Virginia: "We are now in a new era of superpower confrontation."

He pointed out that the United States hopes to maintain good relations with China and other countries around the world, but "we are always ready for war."

Hagel mentioned the renaming of the Department of Defense to the Department of War. He said this has nothing to do with the desire of the United States to participate in conflicts, "it's not because we are looking for war, but to ensure peace; you should be prepared to deter war; if necessary, you must resolutely win the war."
