Joe Biden Is About To Speak About Tension Between Russia And Ukraine

[Road Runner]

Today's Biden talk was nothing more than a PR move to assuage the public that "their man" is "right on top of things!"

Which is probably a lie.

Taiwan, officially the Republic of China, is a country in East Asia. It shares maritime borders with the People's Republic of China to the northwest, Japan to the northeast, and the Philippines to the south. Wikipedia

So wait, the Republic of China is different than China itself?

Oh,.. so then it's a part of China, but not actually China itself.

The Chinese claim it is China but the Taiwanese think otherwise.

Taiwan was originally part of the republic of China (not communist) until the 20th century when it was dictated over by Japan until about 1945 when Taiwan formally formed their own internal government. Meantime, China itself went full communist. So Taiwan is kind of a little like Puerto Rico to us. Now, like Tibet, the chinese have decided that anything close to China must be owned and controlled by China. Especially as Taiwan now has a very good thing going.

This may help on the China Taiwan question.

Entering the Modern Era​

After the Manchus overthrew the Ming Dynasty on the Chinese mainland, the rebel Ming loyalist Koxinga retreated to Taiwan in 1662 and drove out the Dutch, establishing ethnic Chinese control over the island. Koxinga’s forces were defeated by the Manchu Qing Dynasty’s forces in 1683 and parts of Taiwan began to come under the control of the Qing empire. During this time, many aborigines retreated to the mountains where many remain to this day. During the Sino-French War (1884-1885), Chinese forces routed French troops in battles in northeastern Taiwan. In 1885, the Qing empire designated Taiwan as China’s 22nd province.


The Japanese, who had had their eye on Taiwan since the late 16th century, succeeded in gaining control of the island after China was defeated in the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895). When China lost the war with Japan in 1895, Taiwan was ceded to Japan as a colony and the Japanese occupied Taiwan from 1895 to 1945.


After Japan’s defeat in World War II, Japan relinquished control of Taiwan and the government of the Republic of China (ROC), led by Chiang Kai-shek’s Chinese Nationalist Party (KMT), re-established Chinese control over the island. After the Chinese Communists defeated ROC government forces in the Chinese Civil War (1945-1949), the KMT-led ROC regime retreated to Taiwan and established the island as a base of operations to fight back to the Chinese mainland.


The new People’s Republic of China (PRC) government on the mainland, led by Mao Zedong, began preparations to “liberate” Taiwan by military force. This began a period of Taiwan’s de facto political independence from the Chinese mainland which continues today.

After a civil war between communist and non-communist forces on mainland China, the non-communists retreated to Taiwan and established their own country.

The only thing that keeps China from taking over Taiwan is American support. With a weak piece of shit like Potatohead (and him being their man in the White House) this is the perfect time for China to make its move just like Putin is doing in the Ukraine.

You DO know that Joe has a Chinese agent that sticks with him everywhere he goes, watching what he says, guiding him, directing him. No doubt reporting back to Xi.

The American People elected Joe Biden President and Kamala Harris VP.
Democracy.
Many of said People seemed to think it was a Harris-Biden ticket and that Ms Harris would basically be the President with Joe just waving to the People and signing stuff...his problems being well known and on display for everyone in America to see well before the election.

NONE of what's happened/ is happening with President Biden surprises me...and should not surprise one person in America.
Some people might call it "elder-abuse" that he's made suffer like this.
It's sad to watch.
Besides being possible "elder-abuse", it's dangerous for the free world to be presided over by a person with such problems...mistakes could be made.

Exactly...which concerns me greatly as regards Australia...Taiwan, and very other country in the world.
Exactly why the President of The United States should really only be a figurehead and the country ruled by Congress.
Joe has that nukes case.
One person should not be able to enter some codes and fire nukes at anyone they feel like.
Congress should be the only *one* able to fire nukes.
