President Joe Biden said Monday that the United States would intervene militarily in Taiwan if necessary, in an apparent shift away from the U.S. policy of “strategic ambiguity” that quickly ratcheted up tensions with China.
The comment — not the first instance of Biden’s blunt rhetoric on the world stage causing confusion and geopolitical uncertainty — suggested a willingness by the president to go further in defending Taiwan than he has in aiding Ukraine. The Ukrainian government has received tens of billions of dollars in arms and intelligence assistance in the war launched by Russia but not the direct intervention of U.S. or North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops.
“You didn’t want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons,” a reporter said to Biden during the president’s joint news conference in Tokyo with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida. “Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?”
“Yes,” Biden responded, adding: “That’s the commitment we made.”
But he said an invasion of the island by China was highly unlikely.
“My expectation is it will not happen,” Biden said. “It will not be attempted.”

“across the seas against the other nuclear superpower”
China is far, far from a nuclear superpower.
Good Lord, does he know when to quit????
Biden is not president and has no legitimate authority to say such.
Oddly, Biden says the right thing here and he says it over and over.
And over and over again his communist handlers state Biden is wrong.
“This retard changes multi-decade US policy every time he opens his mouth.”
Deep state policies.
That’s why every time he says it the administration “corrects” him.
“Biden is all over the place. First he says the US will, then his handlers tell him to backtrack, now he’s back to what he originally said. He’s like a weathervane.”
This pattern has happened like five times since he’s been fake president.
Intervene? Doing what, taking notes?
If necessary [to help CCP.]
There is no need for one country to engage military if it can capture another country by other means.
Wars kill each countries young men. The CHICOMS are killing 100,000 American youth per year via fentanyl without an invasion. Why spend money on expensive diesal fuel to cross the Pacific and then do all that yucky war stuff?

He thinks China’s invasion is “unlikely” just as he thought it was unlikely” that putin would invade Ukraine. This brain damaged idiot is a danger to the republic.
