TOKYO (AP) -- President Joe Biden said Monday that the U.S. would intervene militarily if China were to invade Taiwan, saying the burden to protect Taiwan is "even stronger' after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. It was one of the most forceful presidential statements in support of self-governing in decades.

This guy is going to get us all killed, with his gaffes.
Yep, a nuclear war with 2 superpowers is certainly better than excessive tweeting.
I see the stars tumbling around me, and there’s the sky where the sea should be.
The Potato 🥔 just unified Russia 🇷🇺 and 🇨🇳 China like never before
That’s true but I don’t accept the implied premise that President Trump tweeted excessively.
Yep . The doomsday clock is one minute close to midnight .
Gaffe? Are you sure this is not his handlers’ policy? What does US intervention look like? B-52s over Chinese staging areas, A-10s over the landing areas, USN sinking Chinese troop ships? All of that ends in WWIII. What are we, $60B down and counting in Ukraine. Forget about restocking the weapons wasted in Ukraine, make sure Treasury has that unlimited supply of ink.
Agree . Not a gaffe methinks .
Ukraine proved that NATO can be at war with someone and still buy their exports.
That’s all it took for brandon.
There are claims being made right now that Chinese dissidents within the CCP have leaked an audio of a CCP meeting in early April discussing secret military mobilization using COVID19 as a cover. The plan includes the use of 900 civilian ships to be loaded with military personnel, rockets, etc., for an invasion that could happen anywhere from right now till November 1st, presumably of Taiwan, though the writer/researcher JR Nyquist—for reasons he has not explained yet—claims the preparations are too big to be just for Taiwan (I’m not so sure).
A Chinese journalist/dissident on the subject stated she has verified the people/information in the audio and believes it is too complex to be a hoax, and that her getting ahold of the audio is incidental and unlikely to be part of a CCP plan to make fools out of Chinese dissidents/journalists abroad who might latch onto the audio. JR Nyquist, who I generally trust and who accurately predicted the war against Ukraine, is taking it seriously and seems to be working on independent corroboration.
And then today, we have Biden stating openly that the US will defend Taiwan.
None of what has occurred has ever been a conflict that the United States or the West has wanted. Russia and China clearly cooperated and worked together on Ukraine, with the Russians postponing the invasion for the Olympics after meeting with Xi, and the CCP apparently handling (and failing) at mass cyberattacks on Ukraine’s infrastructure at the start of the invasion.
If the alleged audio is proven real, the United States can’t be blamed for starting a war that the Chinese are about to start themselves.
I only hope it’s bullshit and that this announcement by Biden is just a coincidence.
Given that it’s Joe Biden best to belief the opposite is true.
I am not helping and I trust the majority of the military simply refuse to go.
Doubtful, since most of the military today submitted to the covid injection and mandatory perversity training.
That kooky nonsense from the NOQ Report? The scenario where the Chinese soldiers hide in shipping containers hoping some nice Americans will let them out once they knock to be let out? The one sane Freepers laughed at yesterday?

Like that grifter clickbait rag has some inside track on the CCP? Of course it’s BS.
Yeah, but Trump's tweets were mean!
The ground war will be here in the USA not in China or Taiwan.
That’s what immigration without assimilation buys you.
You can bet the putards here will blame USA and support China if they invade Taiwan.
US politicians and business leaders built the Chinese military, so that blame would not be misplaced.
