Col. Macgregor: "This is probably the most reckless and irresponsible administration in living memory.
All the major invasions of China were launched from Taiwan. Beijing will not allow Taiwan to become a garrison state for US armed forces."

It is not a physical Taiwan invasion they fear.
It is that desire for Taiwan freedoms and living standards might become contagious.
Sure, China has prosperous citizens, but they also still have abject poverty in many rural areas.
They are terrified of losing absolute control of the populace.
Aren't most dictators scared of that?
“I really think we’re reaching a limit as people on FR begin to support COMMUNIST China invading an ally. Sharks are being jumped.”
It’s crazy.
And Japan didn’t invade China from Taiwan.
It depends upon the level of soul development of the participants in the democracy.
With young souls, you are 100% correct.

The U.S. Army refused to put Macgregor in command of a combat brigade three times. Wise decisions, because Macgregor later appeared on Russia Today (RT, Rossiya Segodnya) and called for Russia to annex Donbas. To top that off, Macgregor more recently propagandized against the U.S.A. and allies for China.
Or ever...
Possibly because this administration isn't the actual command center, the head of the snake, of the country.
Someone or some cabal put Biden and Harris in position by pure chicanery and they are the head of the snake however much some influence does now reside in the WH (exercised by staff most likely...not Joe).
This guy is an idiot
He has only worked in the Pentagon since appointed after the election in Nov 12, 2020. Monica Lewinsky worked in the Pentagon too for much the same reasons. This guy wants to eliminate the USMC.
“This is probably the most reckless and irresponsible administration in living memory.”
Why do people insist on using qualifiers such as “in living memory” or “in our life time” for describing Joe Biden. No, he is the worst in American history, and, regarding all the high stakes for mankind, the worst in world history.
The situation is that dire.
We got Joe, KH and Nancy...
Russia
China
Kosovo
NATO flying in Europe just in case
North Korea blabs
Ever-present Iran

(and, regarding all the high stakes for mankind, the worst in world history.

Well at least this year’s Elul 29 doesn’t fall on a trading day; but rather Saturday. /who knows
He’s absolutely right. Trump had it figured out. The way to deal with China is not through lectures about human rights or through saber rattling like the Neocons are doing now. No. Just accelerate the economic separation between China and America. Cut back on their access to the US market, reduce the number of Chinese students allowed in our universities, require that certain vital products be produced domestically, line up allies against them (like Japan, Australia and India), etc.
There’s no need to get into a shooting war with them. Just tighten the screws economically.
He’s still right.
Part of the snake is Obama and whomever controls him, maybe Soros. But Obamas right hand woman, Susan Rice, is running the show for him in the WH. Jake Sullivan also. Biden is not running anything.
Well, the Chinese will never forget 1931.
“..Other nations are seeing this as Bidens Administration and Pelosi’s Congress split....”
Worse than just a “split”. Some see it as PedoJoe totally incapacitated to function, and Heels-Up as “not available”, leaving the vile, demonic Botoxian as a “rouge” POTUS and usurping the role as POTUS for the communists.
She planned this administration from the beginning to be ome the first woman president. . She knows she would never be elected.
A little historical context seems in order here.
It is true China cannot move it’s armor and infantry into Taiwan without massive Chinese Politburo destabilization level CCP/PLA losses.
But how Taiwan get to this level?
In a generalized nutshell —
Historically, the idea of the CCP involved the Communist Internationale and the global communist takeover goal and governance of the Supreme Soviet in Moscow.
In 1921, Vladimir Lenin hand picked Mao Zadong to support and lead a communist revolution through China, but also with the goal of spreading communist revolution throughout all of Southeast Asia.
In at least one twisted sense, WWII was an bloody interruption to an already super bloodbath under way. Without going into the weeds more on China, let’s just say it was a horrific bloody mess.
Toward Taiwan (Formosa), and what it means today
Taiwan has been building and maintaining a coastal super fortress since 1948/1949 when Chiang Kai-shek (the leader of thr Republic of China) KMT forces and Mao Zedong’s Moscow backed Communist CCP entered their final battles.
A 300,000 Chiang Kai-shek KMT force was airlifted to Formosa (Taiwan), as Mao’s CCP forces (backed by Moscow), absolutely crushed the Chinese people.
Eventually, (depending on the author), Mao’s CCP forces and policies would be responsible for the deaths of roughly 80 to over 100 Million Chinese people. Millions of Chinese people fled for their lives, and desperately tried to float to Formosa (Taiwan) to escape Mao’s hell bent blood drenched Communist army.
Today —
As Taiwan is nothing less than a super fortress, a modern CCP blockade and missile strike strategy are CCP’s only real immediate options, unless CCP Chairman Xi wants to (arguably) lose an estimated 1.5 to 1.7 million CCP PLA troops in an effort to invade Taiwan.
What Taiwan is actually facing —
China is geographically roughly the same size as the US, with either the 1st or near 1nd largest population in the world, with the world’s largest standing army.
As well, China is formally the 3rd largest nuclear weapons power in the world, and is believed to possess the 2nd largest chemical weapons stockpile.
As well, Taiwan does not possess nuclear weapons, and really only has a small c ok at guard type model navy.
Taiwan has remained in a very vulnerable and dangerous sphere since 1949.
