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.

Taiwan is doomed.

but did vow there would be "consequences."

Expect a really harshly worded letter.

Blinken stopped short of promising U.S. military intervention — "I'm not going to get into hypotheticals" — but did vow there would be "consequences."

*************

Blinken. What perfect name for a doofus like him who will blink at the first sign of pressure. The Chinese have already defiantly and disrespectfully bitch slapped him without any consequences. They never would have dared do that to a Trump negotiator. Never.

Expect a really harshly worded letter.

****************

With stern words about diversity and climate change.

I believe the strategy behind our new military is that our enemies will fall over pissing themselves with laughter
after seeing our gay and transgender troops.

Really? Has Taiwan been a thorn in China’s side—or is it the other way around?

Kinda like Obama’s line in the sand with Syria.

This is all going to go and go quickly.

I don’t think a WWI situation is likely (I don’t see any WWII parallel) but I think we could see Russia move on Ukraine, China move on Taiwan, Iran move in Syria and God knows who move somewhere else.

I do not think the US will take action everywhere — that’s not possible,. In fact, I think the US will freeze and do absolutely nothing. And that’s probably the best choice. But the world isn’t getting better.

This will be our Suez Crisis moment when people all around the world look at us and shrug and say, “I thought they were a major power. But I guess they’re not anymore.”

Bingo....and I don’t think it’s ‘kinda like’ either.

It is straight up a false ‘line in the sand’ meant only to deter rather than indicate to China and/or Russia that their actions will have actual meaningful consequences or ramifications.

Our adversaries must be incredulous watching our national self-destruction and degradation of our military. They could never have imagined such good fortune.

The winners in this world are generally those who have the strongest will to win, not those who piously run around lecturing everyone else about phony issues and telling others how to live. National strength is the only thing that gets respect in this world. Trump understood that well.

Because the Biden puppet masters are desperate to get some wars going.

Does Blinken think that any real country out there even bothers to listen to his clueless blather?

Sorry boy (and he is just a boy), but no one gives an Obama about you say.

I wonder how many feet Vlad and Ji walked before they lost it and started cracking up in laughter after hearing this. A man very stupid to begin with, hollowed out by dementia, can’t even remember where he is or what day it is, is threatening them. I wish I could call out April Fool’s!, but the fools are those who voted for this mess and the fiends who fixed the steal.

Blinken will do nothing. This is all poseurship before China invades Taiwan.

Blinken will show them. stamping his foot and hissing at Red China!

President Trump would have simply deployed extra naval resources and would have said nothing.
