Axelrod on Trump Gaza remarks: ‘Imagine how the Chinese interpret that as they eye Taiwan’
The Hill ^ | 02/05/2025 | Lauren Irwin

Posted on 02/05/2025 7:45:29 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Democratic strategist David Axelrod said President Trump’s remarks about taking over Gaza may give China ideas “as they eye Taiwan.”

On Tuesday, Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu where he floated the idea of the U.S. taking over the Gaza Strip. He suggested Americans should be responsible for cleaning up and rebuilding the destructed region.

Axelrod joined CNN on Tuesday and noted that world leaders typically don’t invade other countries because of the message it sends worldwide.

He highlighted Trump’s 2022 comment when he called Russia’s move to invade Ukraine “genius.” If another country can “roll in” and take another, why wouldn’t they do it, Axelrod asked.

“The reason you wouldn’t do it is because if everybody plays by those rules, you quickly devolve into global conflicts,” he said.

Not even remotely similar, not relevant. But hey, if he can muddy the waters, that’s what he wants to do.

Great point, Axelrod. Because if you put pictures of Gaza and Taowan side by side, you couldn’t tell which is which.

False equivalency.

Axelidiot is intentionally employing it.

1. Taiwan is not threatening to genocide anyone.
2. Taiwan has a legitimate claim
3. Taiwan is seeking basic human freedoms, not trying to exterminate them for a specific racial category.
4. China is a marxist communist regime that has murdered 10’s if not 100s of millions, Israel is a free democratic nation that support basic human rights .

I could go on but I think I made my point.

I just don’t see the Taiwanese as casing trouble from one end of the globe to the other.

The purpose of both Axelrod on CNN and The Hill repeating the hot mess was to repeat and repeat the "Russia's move to invade Ukraine 'genius' without context.

Plain and easy to spot, just another political attack by partisans reported as "news."

My guess is the Chinese won't want to mess with Trump who is less predictable and not weak like Biden.

No problem: Trump will announce we're annexing Taiwan as well.

I think some of this is a psyop to remind Europe, Russia, and China that if they want to return to the era of great powers snatching territory, or, in Europe's case do nothing about it, then the US has a lot of cards to play.

Idiot! Trump is talking about rebuilding an area with near total destruction caused by its own people while China wants to conquer Taiwan and confiscate all of the success and all of the wealth built by its people.

P.S. I’m not sure I support rebuilding Gaza, but on the other hand, Trump is usually waaaaaaaay out in front of the rest of us.

Imagine how China interpreted Joe pulling out of Afghanistan overnight, leaving billions of dollars of American-produced war machinery and tech data in the hands of the Taliban. Not to mention the Americans he stranded there.
