Ukraine seems to be winding down to a stalemate…..and the lobbyists are needing something else to keep the cash flowing in with the help of their lackeys in the White House and Congress.
Not to worry we have a built in ‘enemy’ the Pentagon and State have been priming the public for years and now the president has made his declaration…..
The United States is on board with the “one China” policy—meaning that, in regard to Taiwan, it acknowledges formal ties to China instead. But the American government doesn’t endorse China’s views that it effectively owns Taiwan, and the US enjoys a “robust” unofficial relationship with the breakaway island, and so it would use force to defend Taiwan if it had to, according to comments made by President Biden on Monday. CNN reports Biden’s remarks came during a joint press conference in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida, after the US president was asked if the US would come to Taiwan’s defense if it were ever attacked.
“Yes. That’s the commitment we made,” Biden said. “We agree with the ‘one China’ policy. We signed on to it,” but in terms of China possibly trying to take Taiwan against its will, it’s “[just not] appropriate.” Biden added, however, he didn’t see such an attempt at “reunification,” as China puts it, happening anytime soon. CNBC notes Biden’s comments seemed at odds with DC’s longtime “strategic ambiguity” on Taiwan, meaning it has been purposely fuzzy on what exactly, if anything, the US would do if China ever invaded the territory. After the news conference, a White House official tried to clarify the president’s comments, reaffirming the US’ adherence to the “one China” policy and “our commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.”
The official noted that Biden’s comments on defending Taiwan referred to the US’ commitment to 1979’s Taiwan Relations Act, which simply means the US would help shore up Taiwan’s ability to defend itself—not necessarily stage a military intervention. The Wall Street Journal notes Biden has appeared to shift on the US’ stance twice before, in August and October, only to have aides similarly walk his remarks back. At any rate, Taiwan is now expressing its gratitude, while China is slamming Biden’s words. A spokeswoman from Taiwan’s Foreign Ministry thanked the US for its “rock-solid” commitment, while a spokesman for China’s counterpart agency expressed “strong dissatisfaction and firm opposition,” per CNN, noting that “on issues concerning China’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and other core interests, there is no room for compromise.”
See NO need to worry the paid representative of the M-IC and the ‘leader’ of the free world has made it official…..the profits will continue for the M-IC.
When will this stop?
Short answer….no time soon….when money is taking out of elections then it will cease.

“lego ergo scribo”
The dementia becomes more obvious with each passing gaff. I remember the promise that we will never see American boots on the ground in Ujraine too. Now I hear that the Pentagon is considering sending a detachment of “Special Operations Forces” to serve as guards for the U.S. Embassy in Kiev. And what would that be? That would be “Boots on the ground in Ukraine.” I suppose the next move is to send detachments of “Advisors” to help the Ukrainian fighters ….do I smell another Vietnam in the mix here? I am fast losing any faith I ever had in Mr. Mumbles and stumbles … but I would still rather have that to contend with than some fat assed orange colored neo-nazi … but I guess that is coming too …F**k!
Every president lies about ‘boots’…..it one of those silly election promises that no one remembers after the fact. chuq
Some are saying that Biden made a’gaffe’. I for one doubt that, and think it was deliberate, in collusion with the ‘Hawks’.
Best wishes, Pete.
Keep the profits flowing….I agree. chuq
