The Pale Horse: Death as a Consequence:

The pale horse, ridden by Death with Hades following, marks the culmination of the destructive cycle initiated by its predecessors. It represents the ultimate consequence of a society entrenched in imperialism, militarism, and economic exploitation—widespread death and decay. This horse serves as a stark reminder of the cost of complicity in systems of power and oppression, contrasting sharply with the life-giving path of Christ, who rejected earthly power for service and sacrifice.

The language of Hegseth’s press conference in Manila is indicative of the openly aggressive face of US imperialism under Trump. Gone was any reference to what had been the political shibboleth of Washington in the Asia Pacific region: the defense of “freedom of navigation.” Hegseth spoke rather of “preparing for war,” using the phrase more than once. Every time Hegseth mentioned China he termed it “Communist China,” and spoke of its “aggression.” Hegseth referred to US Seventh fleet commander Admiral Samuel Paparo “and his war plans. Real war plans.”
