Secretary of State Antony Blinken on Sunday said "it would be serious mistake" for China to strike at Taiwan and expressed "real concerns" about Russia's massing of forces on the border with Ukraine.

In addressing concerns about America's two great Cold War rivals, Blinken stopped short of promising U.S. military intervention — "I'm not going to get into hypotheticals" — but did vow there would be "consequences."

Speaking to host Chuck Todd on NBC's "Meet the Press," Blinken said of Chinese belligerence toward Taiwan, "We have a commitment to Taiwan under the Taiwan Relations Act, a bipartisan commitment that's existed for many, many years, to make sure that Taiwan has the ability to defend itself, and to make sure that we're sustaining peace and security in the Western Pacific. We stand behind those commitments.

Is Blinken a Nerd, or a Turd? Neither inspire fear in the Chinese. They will intimidate him and Biden, and they will stand down. Idiots.

Of course, Blinken nor anyone close to a Democrat politician will be fighting any of these wars. Recently some, including members of the national guard, have been sent on 2-year deployments to various countries like Iraq and Bosnia.
Two years! For what? Anybody want their family member to die for any of these countries? Meanwhile our own country is being invaded.

How about every country for itself? America first.

It wouldn't surprise me if China and Russia launch their attacks against Taiwan and Ukraine simultaneously.

After hearing the real priorities of the US military recently, I’m sure the Chinese and Russians are worried silly about his comments.

"concerns".

Blah, blah, blah. "I like to sniff little girls hair" won't do a damn thing. Obambi, Jarrett, and Rice will make sure of that. Goodbye Taiwan. I visited you once and you were great hosts to our Navy.

I’m sure Blinken must get asked all the time if he has co-workers named Winken and Nod. :-)

6 of these should be able to take out any number of US Navy ships.

Does Nike, major sports, or any of our other of the other mega corporations who are really running the country want to fight their biggest customer? Of course not...it might affect their CEO bonuses.

When the $hit really hits the fan they’ll escape to New Zealand and we’ll be left with the ruins.
