One does not have to speculate if this Jabama regime supports America’s independence. It’s painfully clear that they don’t. Will they give us away to China too?

Isn’t it comforting to know, our installed foreign corrupted fraud puppet has the same policy positions as the Chinese/Russian/Iranian/global leftist axis!

Boy, after

— Afghanistan,
— originally green lighting Russian Nord Stream,
— shutting off US energy development,
— forcing the US to directly purchase/import Russian and Iranian energy (from March 2021),
— making sure Russia plays intermediary between Iran and DC regarding Iranian development (engineered across Iran by Russia,
— pushing for a Hamas/PLO consulate in Jerusalem, as Moscow had done
— forcing the DoD to become LGBTQ +
— forcing the DoD to become ideologically leftist, which directly weaken and demoralize US forces
— pulling a Clinton, and carefully supporting Beijing, Pyongyang, and Moscows interest, albeit with smoke and mirrors

If I didn’t know better, I would say we have a hard left, foreign captured POTUS and Congress, almost overtly motivating China to attack Taiwan. Again, with smoke and mirrors.

*****

Being that Russia and China have been in a formal joint economic and military alliance, if China does attack Taiwan, one would have to wonder if this might in theory divert some focus and pressure away Russia’s attack on Ukraine...

Or not, as Russia has been integral to Chinese naval activity in the Western Pacific, Sea of Japan, and South China Sea, and even Central and South America.

There was a guy my wife met (in the 90’s) who owned a serious amount of RE - to the tune of $300mm.

He said to her than when you owe the bank a million $$ you have a problem.

When you owe the bank $100mm - the bank has a problem...

A major manufacturing capability that has not been taken over by a Chiese kleptocracy?
Taiwan used to have a fat trade surplus, I’m guessing the funds are still there to be looted?
The Reds are afraid that so long as they do not control Taiwan the Taiwan mindset might spark a revolution on the mainland.
Taiwan sending “Gift Baskets” via balloons across the strait keeps that fear going too.
Red China is always terrified of the next revolution.

Regarding China, I believe Trumps friend and strong Japanese ally Shinzo Abe’s position has stiffened a bit recently.

I know, probably shouldn’t say that.

But getting a point across, the leftists have wiped out free elections and independent leaders globally in this phase.

I believe it was also April Glaspie who gave Saddam mixed messages on invading Kuwait.

The top lip and the bottom lip should remain in contact whenever their movements would be stupid.

Sounds like they’re dancing as fast as they can before Pelosi does her fabulous photo op Taiwan stop, unless she backs out.

The heavy investment in Biden and his son by the Chicoms isn’t going to go away. Not that it’s going to be in the open any more than the Vatican deal which is not allowed to have details given to the public, either.

Not since the old Mafia years have bought politicians been better at keeping secrets at the citizens’ expense.

The Xoe Buy-Dung regime wants nothing less than the hoisting of the red and gold in place of the red, white, and blue.

Actually Nixon (via Kissinger) conjured an ambiguous “One China” policy that did not specify which had priority. CCP is increasingly eager to “prioritize …”.

Correct. Kirby has been a DS sleaze since the Clinton regime.

The dishonesty on both sides of this issue is sickening. Personally, I don’t give a damn about Taiwan or the Taiwanese people. I do care that they make chips that our lives are so dependent. No one wants to seriously address that issue. The CHIPS bill is a frickin’ joke and waste of money. That’s what you get when you can’t clearly identify the problem. By the way, the problem isn’t that chips are made aboard. The problem is our government has made the US so uncompetitive and unaffordable that we are unable to lead the world in technology. It’s our government that needs to be fixed. That is accomplished by shuttering the vast majority of government so that government doesn’t stand in the way of business, energy, and dozens of other things.

I don’t care about Taiwan independence. I DO care that we are WAY too dependent on semiconductors and processors made in Taiwan.
