This is the cost of having a President who has sold out to China.

China is now holding military exercises including missile launches in an obvious show of military force with Pelosi on her way to the region. What does Grasshopper Joe say? Nothing. After the 2 hour tongue lashing he received from Master Xi he has bowed and apologized. Now Pelosi is headed for "Asia" with no plans to visit Taiwan. The world sees America cowering from China. That's a REALLY bad place to be.

Is his stuff largely manufactured in China?...No?....well, then that's not such a bad place to be. You're shooting for diplomacy. Take your lumps. Take your small victories.
Unless you'd like him to launch nuclear missiles at China and Russia and begin the bombing...not really much you can do about it. Taiwan is an island. You wanna go to war
over it after braying for six years that the last guy didn't get us into any wars? Wasn't he VERY deferential to China?....yep. Oh he tried to make em pay with his silly assed
tariff wars...but that didn't turn out so well for us..did it?

Weakness spawns aggression....

Weakness spawns aggression....

And aggression spawns???.....Death. Destruction. Suffering. Loss. Chaos.
Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, countless countries in the southern hemisphere, Africa, Asia..and on, and on, and on.

So..why not just let the nukes fly and be done with it if you think weakness looks bad?

Let's digress a tad: the the entire democratic party AND the media has sold out to China. Or Soros, or the highest bidder.

As opposed to the Republican party that has sold out to the alt-right..and has ZERO solutions to the issues facing the country...while at the same time trying to destroy the country from within...or..the whackiest conspiracy theory.

Soros really is your boogeyman..isn't he?

Wow, sounds like rational diplomacy to me.

We do not recognize Taiwan as an independent country. Neither does the UN. Our official policy, China's official policy, and Taiwan's official policy is that Taiwan is part of China.

So why provoke the situation?

Here's what the West (AKA Stupid White People) don't understand. Taiwan, Hong Kong, the Uyghurs, Tibet - We see these as issues of "Freedom", even though none of them have a history of Democracy or human rights to be proud of. (Taiwan was a fascist dictatorship for much of its history, Hong Kong a Colonial State, the Uyghurs are Muslim fundamentalist's and the Tibetans had a rather nasty theocracy before China reasserted their sovereignty. )

China sees these issues as matters of national sovereignty. They might tolerate an de facto independent Taiwan, but they won't tolerate outsiders treating Taiwan as an independent country.

Let's digress a tad: the the entire democratic party AND the media has sold out to China. Or Soros, or the highest bidder.

Or 180 years since the Opium Wars, and the west still isn't treating China with respect.

What? Have you seen who has been to China under Biden's time in office?

Did Biden apologize? Or did he say that someone from CONGRESS is different to someone from the PRESIDENCY?

Trump, Trump, yeah, remember his saying how much he loves Xi?
You're getting things mixed up here.

Opium wars? But China exports 99.99999999% (plus 1%) of fentanyl to this country? Are you ******* kidding me? George Floyd died from a fentanyl induced hypoxia. From ******* CHINA. Let's get real here.

Shhh. Quiet. Let me sort this out: THE ******* Democrats are running single part only single narrative ONLY witch hunt (Jan 6th hearings). But totally ignore (shhhh) the preponderance of facts Democrats tacitly or openly supported race riots that did far more damage to our society and our economy than what happened on Jan 6th. Explain this dichotomy. Why?

Huh??
If you don't believe that January 6th, 2021 was an attempt to overthrow our democratic government...then, you are lost. There's no reaching you. You deflect to protests (turned violent) over racial bigotry that had next to nothing to do with the LACK of response to a virus. LOL...explain..Seriously?
