Is Taiwan Next?

 

The Hill: Beijing says Taiwan is 'not Ukraine,' has always been part of China 

China's foreign ministry on Wednesday said Taiwan is "not Ukraine" and has always been a part of China amid Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen's calls to ramp up vigilance on military activities in response to the crisis in Ukraine. 

Foreign ministry spokesperson Hua Chunying dismissed the concerns of British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who said there might be worldwide consequences, including for Taiwan, if Western nations failed to support Ukraine's independence, according to Reuters.

Haaaaaa! For China, war on Taiwan is much more justified. With Sleeping Joe we have to ad up Taiwan on Afghanistan and Ukraine. What a wonderful presidency.

Taiwan is next.

Xi is going to wait until Milley moves all his chips over to Eastern Europe. Xi will move some time after that.

Joey is weak. The chain of command of compromised, because Joey has to ask Obama advice or permission. It makes the chain of command time consuming and rickety.

If the sweetest sound is the call of the muezzin really loves his religion, he would see to it that China and Russia do not win. But that stupid cad is just too dumb to realize it and he is dumb. He is still hiding his college record.

Buy your computers and electronics now fuckers cuz if you don't you are going back to the 1970s when your stuff burns out due to use.

Take this to the bank. Putin did not need a 3 to 1 soldier advantage to win in Ukraine and Xi won't bed a 3 to 1 soldier force advantage to win in Taiwan. Those amphibs that the Chinese are supposedly missing; they actually have them. Milley might actually know that if he wasn't boning up on white rage.

Perhaps it is now time to stop calling our president sleepy. He rose to the Russian threat, non-stop, and led the nation into doing what a nation could and should. Trump would never have stood up to Putin and the record shows that.
You make yourself looks ill informed by simply calling Biden names

Sleepy Joe has not risen to the threat. He could have cut Russia off from SWIFT. He did not there.

There are more sanctions on Russia than ever before, but as a professor at a university pointed out, they are not the maximum number of sanction possible with or without SWIFT.


So no, Sleepy Joe is not serious.

Neither is John Kerry.

"John Kerry fears Russia-Ukraine war will distract from climate change"

"But it could have a profound negative impact on the climate obviously. You have a war and obviously you’re going to have massive emissions consequences to the war. But equally importantly, you're going to lose people's focus, you're going to lose certainly big country attention because they will be diverted and I think it could have a damaging impact."

He continued, of course he did. He is a pompous twit.

"So, you know, I think hopefully President Putin would realize that in the northern part of his country, they used to live on 66% of the nation that was over frozen land."

love the way simpletons regudrgitate stupid rightwing shit!
1. Biden consulted with China to calm Putin down and China did not do it.
2. Putin got all he wanted (anti-NATO etc) from Trump.
3. Biden has speech defect; Trump: mental one.
4. Biden doing any and all things that can be done short of entering war--would you or trump enter war: nope.
5. so: you are simply being childish in name-calling Biden when there is not one thing you can say he is doing that is wrong. Grownups argue issues and do not simply call names.

More Freddism

Trump called on NATO to increase defense spending to live up to NATO treaty obligations.

To call that pro-Putin is to lie.

Ergo Fred is a liar.

"President Donald J. Trump called for NATO member nations to step up and pay their “fair share” of defense spending in the fight against global terrorism.

The president made his remarks today in Brussels at the unveiling of the NATO 9/11 Memorial during a stop at the new NATO headquarters building during his first overseas trip since taking office in January."

Ergo Fred is a liar.

One of President Trump’s biggest complaints with America’s European allies is their anemic defense spending to face the Russia threat. He has been insistent that NATO allies meet the minimal Alliance commitment of spending at least 2% of GDP on defense and 20% of their defense budgets on “major equipment.”

Until recently, few have met that requirement.

Trump (JULY 11, 2018):

“When Germany makes a massive oil and gas deal with Russia. We’re supposed to be guarding against Russia and Germany goes out and pays billions and billions of dollars a year to Russia.

We’re protecting Germany, we’re protecting France, we’re protecting all of these countries. And then numerous of the countries go out and make a pipeline deal with Russia where they’re paying billions of dollars into the coffers of Russia.

So we’re supposed to protect you against Russia and you pay billions of dollars to Russia and I think that’s very inappropriate.

Germany will have almost 70 percent of their country controlled by Russia with natural gas. You tell me, is that appropriate?

Germany is totally controlled by Russia, cause they are getting 60 to 70 percent of their energy from Russia and a new pipeline.

I think these countries have to step it up, not over a 10 year period, they have to step it up immediately. Germany is a rich country, they talk about increasing it a tiny bit by 2030. Well they could increase it immediately, tomorrow, and have no problem.

If you look at it, Germany is a captive of Russia. They got rid of their coal plants, they got rid of their nuclear, they’re getting so much of their oil and gas from Russia. I think it is something NATO has to look at. It is very inappropriate."
