Harris calls China’s behavior ‘disturbing’ and reiterates US support for Taiwan in speech
CNN ^ | September 28, 2022 | Colin McCullough

Posted on 09/28/2022 6:01:32 PM PDT by McGruff

Vice President Kamala Harris on Wednesday accused China of “undermining key elements of the international rules-based order” and called its behavior in the East China Sea, South China Sea and Taiwan Strait “disturbing.”

Harris, speaking aboard the USS Howard at the Yokosuka Naval Base in Japan, also echoed President Joe Biden’s recent comments backing Taiwan, saying the US will “continue to oppose any unilateral change to the status quo. And we will continue to support Taiwan’s self-defense, consistent with our long-standing policy.”

She added that the United States believes peace and stability in the Taiwan Strait is “an essential feature of a free and open Indo-Pacific.”

“We will continue to fly, sail, and operate, undaunted and unafraid, wherever and whenever international law allows.”

Harris brings a whole different level of danger to the party.

If her handlers printed the IHOP menu on her teleprompter,
it would take her 75% of the way through it to notice, if
she ever did.

Gaslighting Ukraine 2.0

Gaslighting for your future stint as a defender of the Communist party's rape of Taiwan, which you've already started in other posts rather shamelessly.

Luckily, the CCP, like Russia, is slowly collapsing, so I doubt they'll invade. It's a suicide run that would accomplish nothing other than maybe redirecting the Chinese public from what is really destroying them (CCP policy).

Well, we seem to have run out of many weapons. Europe too.
I suppose we could defend Taiwan for a little while, but we sure could use some time to replenish our stocks. I hope China hasn’t been reading the papers and doesn’t know that we are at a low point.

You keep talking about Russia and China collapsing, and yet, the only one’s “collapsing” is the West....the EU, Germany, UK, and the US. Ironic huh?

Glad someone wrote it out for her and she was able to stick to the script. Correcting Biden’s dangerous and intemperate remarks about US troops intervening if China were to attack.

Why does anybody quote Kamala? She’s like a fifth-grader in a high=profile government job.

She should be packing groceries at a local bodega instead.

Problem is when Communist China implodes (look at their real estate sector, it’s insane) the rest of us go into the toilet with them.

Corporate management is so in bed with the CCP they just cannot decouple.

Yea, I don’t like it, a lot of people don’t like it, but that’s how it is.

When I was a kid there was no trade with Russia or China...they could stay on their side of the planet and we stay on our side.

America was a better place back then, and so was Europe.

If Taiwan is lead by smart people, as I think they are, Taiwan will operate as though it is a given that the USA will NOT be there to back them up with force when China decides to wait no more. America will likely provide arms, but my guess is any assistance to Taiwan will be dwarfed by the amount of money and weaponry we continue to shower upon Ukraine.

still cant decide if her speechwriters are morons or deliberately sabotaging her

i know she is a moron

her speechwriters are using a rhetorical technique in her speeches

repetition

you use the same word over and over again

but not in the same sentence

like community

community banks are in the community because they are part of the community

You keep talking about Russia and China collapsing, and yet, the only one’s “collapsing” is the West

Since you're a full blooded communist you believe their hype. In the real world with real people, we know that China is just kicking the can down the road with a level of debt and corruption beyond anything that can be imagined even for the likes of a Pelosi or a Clinton, with something like a super majority of middle class Chinese having been tricked into investing in trash like massive ghost cities where no one lives and where you can punch your fist through a concrete wall. The same applies to Russia, which is a giant Potemkin village where most financials are censored and hidden from the public while the rulers claim all is well.

the only one’s “collapsing” is the West....the EU, Germany, UK, and the US. Ironic huh?

And yet, though pain is on the horizon, they won't. Europe will not "freeze" over the winter. The USA won't collapse in debt. And while China collapsing will cause severe problems across the world when it does, it is countries like the USA that will lead the charge in re-growth once we get real leadership in Washington.

Meanwhile, you'll have what? A short-lived worship of two totalitarian regimes that failed just as soon as you began to love them?

When she gives her next speech in Washington, they are going to have her saying, "Who washed Washington's wash when Washington's..."

Germany imploding economically.
EU imploding economically.
US imploding economically.

Euro crashing.
Pound crashing.
Dollar wrecking everything but the Ruble.

Russia is no where near economic distress or implosion as those mentioned above. A recession in Russia is not going to be like the recession that the West/EU/UK/Germany or US will experience.

General Winter is coming.
