On Monday’s “Hannity,” Mark Levin stated that the United States “must prepare for war with China.”

In an opinion piece for Fox News, the host of “Life, Liberty & Levin” argued that China is eager for war with the United States. His comments were made on the third day of Chinese military exercises near Taiwan, which although autonomous, belongs to China in terms of its communist government.

He said to Sean Hannity, referring to their economic ties, “Brazil is now with China.” That is within our hemisphere. The Monroe Doctrine was something we once had. James Monroe, the fifth president, issued the Monroe Doctrine, which forbade European colonial countries from interfering in American affairs. Levin continued by comparing the modern United States to the Roman Empire.
