POTUS on Taiwan Crisis - China Crisis - Biden Era

White House: Reports on remarks by POTUS on Taiwan, the President was the following by a reporter, " Mr. President, how worried are you about the situation in Taiwan?  Because China is — they’re kind of keeping a bit of a grip around the whole island now. " The President replied, " Well, I am — I’m not worried, but I’m concerned that they’re moving as much as they are.  But I don’t think they’re going to do anything more.  I think —  "

Lets Get Real:

One does hope that POTUS does not come to regret these words, what the Lord giveth, a good Hill victory the Lord taketh away with Afghanistan and China might invade Taiwan, thus forcing the US and the West to support the Democratic Island.  This blog has argued that you can be liberal or conservative when it comes to your domestic agenda, but you have to be STRONG when you are President, one only looks at what happened to Jimmy Carter, the Russians going in to Afghanistan and the Tehran hostage crisis, American President need to be feared by the World, being like does not matter, that was the problem with President Obama, when he drew a red line if Syria used chemical weapons and they did and Obama did nothing.  That what happens when you get the NOBEL PRIZE for DOING NOTHING.  The personal ego takes over the Presidential ego.  At the end of his two terms, President Obama had a 58% approval rating with Gallup, while Reagan had 63% and Clinton had 66%, with the CBS poll both had 68% even after their policy and personal scandals.   A President needs to be feared more than loved, and respected, China is seeing how far it can push Biden and Taiwan. 

China's blockade of Taiwan Update - China Crisis - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports " China extends military drills around Taiwan as fears grow of potential conflict...The exercises involving missile strikes, warplanes and ship movements crossing the midline of the Taiwan Strait dividing the sides and are a response to US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's visit to the island last week.  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated in my last post on the Taiwan Crisis, the Chinese Government is pulling a fast one, it wants to see how the Biden Oval reacts before it goes further, the Lord giveth to Biden with a good victory on the Hill and the Lord taketh away on the other hand, what if China sees Biden as WEAK after the Ukraine and Afghanistan, and it tries to invade Taiwan or some other mischief, the Biden Oval needs to find its backbone and send in the USS Reagan to Taiwan for a friendly visit and not friendly message to China to back off.  The Chinese drills cannot go on forever, if it looks like China want to place a permeant blockade on Taiwan then the US must act, its a matter of national security.  Developing. 

Big Win for Biden on the HILL - Climate Change - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports " The US Senate has approved a bill that includes $369bn (£305bn) for climate action - the largest investment in America's history.....Democrats negotiated among themselves for months to ensure the package - which totals more than $700bn - received the support of every one of the party's 50 senators  "

Lets Get Real:

This is a big win for the Biden Oval, but its not the great win that the Left wing Democrats wanted, they wanted to spend 6 trillion on EVERY Democratic wish, the Democrats could not get two of their own to support that, thus this is a limited bill.  This blog was a bit iffy about CLIMATE CHANGE, but the hot weather of the past few years has convinced this blog that the West and the World needs to DO SOMETHING to prevent the weather getting ANY HOTTER, the new Act will get people to go for electric cars and other policy favourites of the Democrats.  Of course the question is NOW, who will tell the Chief not to run for a 2nd term, a 2nd terms for modern Presidents has been rough, that goes for Nixon, Reagan, Clinton, Bush 43, and Obama, it could be advised that Biden gets out while he is winner, and not defeated for a 2nd term.  Who will be the man/women to tell Biden its over after a one term. 

Flogging a DEAD HORSE - US Talks with Iran - Biden Era

CNN - Politics: Reports " A new round of talks to try to salvage the Iran nuclear deal will convene in Vienna this week, although the Biden administration has low expectations for reaching a breakthrough after more than a year of negotiations.  "

Lets Get Real:

The Tehran Regime has already given the US its Nuclear Calling Card, either they are close to having the bomb or they already have the bomb.  What does it take with the Biden Oval, is POTUS so out of it, he wants a DEAL that is a threat to US and Israeli security.  If Iran was serious it would be a different matter, they are holding the UN Nuclear Agency at bay of the UN's on the ground video feed from Iran's nuclear sites.  What will it take with the Biden Oval, does it want to wake up one day and find that Tehran has done a nuclear test or has ICMB's that can reach the US.  Talking is good, but then there are bad talks, Munich 1938 and Reagan's and Gorbachev's talks from 1985 to 1988 that helped finish the First Cold War.  Iran is playing the US, it wants endless talks before it goes nuclear, and the blame will be on President Biden. 

Pelosi LEAVES Taiwan - China Crisis - Biden Era

BBC News: Reports  " US Speaker Nancy Pelosi has left Taiwan after a brief but controversial visit....In response to the trip, China announced what it called "necessary and just" military drills in seas around 10 miles (16 kilometres) from Taiwan.  "

Lets Get Real:

As stated by this blog, China has not really responded, military drills at sea and in the air is a way for China to avoid looking weak.  China will NEVER take on Taiwan as long as the US is there to protect it.  The angry noise from Beijing is just NOISE, the Chinese Government would be MAD to take on the US and its Allies.  The US at the moment is facing a Russian invasion of the Ukraine, Iran has the bomb or will get the bomb and it has been speculated that North Korea will have another nuclear test.  The Biden Oval does not need this whining from China, any WAR between China and the US would WREAK the World economy and cause major internal worries for the US and China.  Thus China should be seen as a paper tiger, in both military and economic terms.  Thus one crisis placed in the LONG GRASS, Biden as stated has other worries. 

Pelosi and Taiwan Update - China/Taiwan Crisis - Biden Era

Sky News: Reports "  Nancy Pelosi: US House Speaker set to arrive in Taiwan amid escalating tensions....The US airforce jet that Ms Pelosi flew on to Malaysia has taken off from Kuala Lumpur. It is unclear if Ms Pelosi is on that plane, but the US Navy has simultaneously deployed four warships east of Taiwan.   "

Lets Get Real:

There is no way that China will do anything in military offensive terms, its hardly a Presidential visit by President Biden, any attack on Taiwan or the Speaker's plane would be a matter of extreme risk.  The US will not allow China to run its Foreign Policy, it can be assumed that any US President will defend Taiwan, no matter what China wants or thinks.  Thus what will CHINA do, push North Korea to do a nuclear test, sell US bonds at a loss, China will do something, but nothing close to WAR, they are not that stupid, and are quite risk averse when it comes to the US.  If they do take action ALL BETS are OFF, the Biden Oval would have to react, the security of the US and the West would be at stake, China would not like the result. 

Ayman al-Zawahiri, Leader of Al - Qaeda Dead - US Drone Strike - Biden Era

Lets Get Real:

A terrorist Leader is killed, the 2nd to OBL during the 9/11 attacks.  It seems that President Biden chose the same path as former President Obama, that is good, terrorists leaders need to be removed or killed.  They are a threat to Western Values.  A good job by POTUS, this should help with his poll ratings, and he needs some help, they are in the toilet at the moment.
