Biden: US would intervene with military to defend Taiwan
The Mainichi ^ | 5/23/22 | Mainichi Japan

Posted on 05/23/2022 2:08:04 AM PDT by sushiman

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.

You’ve become nothing more then a freak of nature. If you’re real, get help immediately.

That kooky nonsense from the NOQ Report?

I don't know about any NOQ report. The audio is being made available by Chinese dissidents/journalists who are evidently taking it seriously. Whether it is or not remains to be seen.

The original publishers are here:

The Taiwanese should be bristling with fortified beaches and more AA assets than any country on Earth by now.

The Swiss Model of self defense would be ideal for them. Every swinging Johnson on the island from 16 to 65 should get 8 weeks of training, a rifle, and a thousand rounds of ammunition.

When a blood thirsty animal like you associate demonic with someone like me, all I can think is that is how the media and the people destroying this country act. It's called projection. You know, bad = good and all that.

BTW, when I first heard about it, I also assumed it was complete BS and that these were just some hysterical Chinese dissidents posting another unverifiable audio (the first audio being the audio of the Chinese general from some years ago discussing the creation of gene specific viruses to kill their enemies in the USA). I don’t know about what is being claimed by fringe shitty blogs on the subject, but I did not see anything about an invasion of the USA proper, only a military mobilization using the lockdowns as cover.

Apparently the details are complex enough that people I generally trust are taking it seriously for some reason on the grounds that it’s too complex to be a hoax.

JR Nyquist is promising a report on the topic soon, and we’ll see what independent evidence he can provide, if any at all.

Ah, another grifter with a blog. Where’s humblegunner when you need him?

From her Twitter header: “Best gift & special offer for my followers: Buy from here & save the handling fee!”

If you want to believe this preposterous nonsense, be my guest. I’ve got no time for it.

When a blood thirsty animal

Better an animal than a traitor like you, who will look at Chinese aggression, mass murder and destruction and blame it on the USA the first chance he gets, just as you currently do with Russia's mass murder, rape and destruction in Ukraine.

They may well be sabre rattling and holding exercises. That would not surprise me in the least. This hiding in shipping containers on cargo ships nonsense is laughable.

She provides a translation. She is not the original source of the audio.

And that is not her header. That is an advertisement for the dance/concert Shen Yun on her twitter feed, which she does not own or run. Shen Yun dance concerts are run by the Falun Gong, the people who get their guts torn out by the CCP in mass numbers.

It's not. Chinese converting shipping containers to hide weapons/troops has been open knowledge for some time now. I heard about it years ago but have seen articles quite recently. Here is an example, and it's not from the lady who did the translation. It's from the Naval War College:

Whatever. If you think the Chinese are on the verge of invading the mainland US via soldiers in shipping containers, be my guest. My opinion is the CCP doesn’t think they need to invade us. They’ve already got us by the sneakers. The Chinese wisely tend to take the long view.

We all need to really hope that Sloppy Joe is not running a war. Right now our military is pathetic in the leadership department.

RATs have terrible reason and judgement.

Yes it is part of her header: “Best gift & special offer ***for my followers***” She’s an affiliate marketer for Shen Yun and collects a fee when someone buys via her affiliate link. Same as Amazon affiliates.

It was a stupid move of epic proportion. The people leading this country and the EU are a cabal of power hungry FOOLS.

He has lost any ability to function on a political stage. Incidentally, if the United States sinks Chinese ships and kills their troops like we are doing to Russia in the Ukraine, it’s over

Whatever.

Well, it disproved your claim that the idea itself is preposterous.

The only thing that is up in the air is: whether Xi has indeed given an order for military mobilization in preparation for an invasion of Taiwan has indeed been given.

There's nothing in the audio that states the US is a target. Maybe that's what the NOQ article is saying. It is also what Nyquist is claiming, who has yet to provide any reason for us to believe it. As I said before, we'll see.

If you think...

Again, I have not come to a firm conclusion about anything. Just correcting your impulse to immediately dismiss it. I don't know either.

The Chinese... take the long view.

Anyone with any experience of China can tell you that the CCP does not even think 24 hours in advance. The CCP embraces all sorts of completely stupid policy decisions which explode more or less immediately. Big examples of this include: the 1 child policy, promoting the construction of ghost cities just to pump up GDP numbers, the more than 90,000 dams and reservoirs in the country with most of them actually increasing the danger of catastrophic flooding, which they then compound by not performing any type of maintenance.

FReepers as a general have all sorts of weird ideas about China and Russia. Almost all of these ideas make them look better than they are. I don't know why this is so.
