Bush look like a little baby. Imagine if the kids in the neighborhood are having a squirt gun fight, then one of them runs into the house and gets his dad’s 9mm and starts shooting everyone with bullets. That’s the difference of Joe Biden to George W. Bush. Bush started a bunch of stupid and expensive wars, but they were really just joke wars which had not real effect on the American people. They were very expensive, but the way America runs its economy, the American people didn’t really feel the cost (except in the 2008 crash, which is blamed on 911 but wouldn’t have happened without the wars). Joe Biden is starting real wars with real countries. Claiming that you are willing to go to war with China to steal a part of their country is effectively a declaration of war. This is big, big news. At time of writing, the White House hasn’t denounced Biden’s statements yet. In fact, they issued a statement saying they agree with it. Maybe they will walk that back I guess – but it looks like this is actual policy. CNN: President Joe Biden said Monday that the United States would intervene militarily if China attempts to take Taiwan by force, a warning that appeared to deviate from the deliberate ambiguity traditionally held by Washington. During a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida in Tokyo, Biden was asked if the US would be willing to go further to help Taiwan in the event of an invasion than it did with Ukraine. “You didn’t want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons. Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?” a reporter asked. “Yes,” Biden replied. “That’s the commitment we made.” “We agree with the One China policy. We signed on to it, and all the attendant agreements made from there, but the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is (just not) appropriate,” he said. Who made that commitment? How can you agree with the One China Policy and also claim that Taiwan is an independent country? Obviously, you can’t, because the entire purpose of the One China Policy – as the name implies – is a confirmation that there is only one China. This really feels like something that the White House should be denouncing. Under the “One China” policy, the US acknowledges China’s position that Taiwan is part of China, but has never officially recognized Beijing’s claim to the self-governing island of 23 million. Several of Biden’s top administration officials were caught off-guard by the remarks, several aides told CNN, adding that they were not expecting Biden to be as unequivocal as he was. In a statement following Biden’s comments, a White House official said the US’ official position remained unchanged. “As the President said, our policy has not changed. He reiterated our One China policy and our commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait. He also reiterated our commitment under the Taiwan Relations Act to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself,” the official said. This is literally the opposite of the Taiwan Relations Act. Like, seriously – the literal opposite. The President has made similar comments on Taiwan in the past, including during a CNN town hall in October, only to have the White House walk back his remarks and insist that longstanding US policy has not changed toward the island. The US provides Taiwan defensive weapons, but has remained intentionally ambiguous on whether it would intervene militarily in the event of a Chinese attack. Not anymore! Apparently! But this time, Biden’s strong warning was made right on China’s doorstep, during his first trip to Asia as President — a visit aimed at uniting allies and partners to counter China’s rising influence. It also came a day before Biden is scheduled to attend the second in- person summit of the Quadrilateral Security Dialogue (Quad) — an informal grouping between the US, Japan, Australia and India that has alarmed Beijing. India is getting hesitant. Japan is a nation of perverts who are afraid that the Chinese will come in and ban their sick porno and pedophile cartoons. Japanese man outside your room listening to you masturbate while smiling with glee Japanese man outside your room listening to you masturbate while smiling with glee Australia is obviously just a vassal state of the US. To be clear – the purpose of the Taiwan Relations Act was very explicitly to make it illegal for a president to unilaterally change policy towards Taiwan. The Act also violates the One China Policy, so it’s a mixed bag, but Biden citing this while saying he’s going to use the US military to fight the Chinese is nonsensical, and basically just proof that the Biden people think Americans are retards who can’t read. Wikipedia: The Taiwan Relations Act does not guarantee the U.S. will intervene militarily if the PRC attacks or invades Taiwan nor does it relinquish it, as its primary purpose is to ensure the US’s Taiwan policy will not be changed unilaterally by the president and ensure any decision to defend Taiwan will be made with the consent of Congress. The act states that “the United States will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain a sufficient self-defense capabilities”. However, the decision about the nature and quantity of defense services that America will provide to Taiwan is to be determined by the President and Congress. America’s policy has been called “strategic ambiguity”, and it is designed to dissuade Taiwan from a unilateral declaration of independence, and to dissuade the PRC from unilaterally unifying Taiwan with the PRC. The act further stipulates that the United States will “consider any effort to determine the future of Taiwan by other than peaceful means, including by boycotts or embargoes, a threat to the peace and security of the Western Pacific area and of grave concern to the United States”. The act requires the United States to have a policy “to provide Taiwan with arms of a defensive character”, and “to maintain the capacity of the United States to resist any resort to force or other forms of coercion that would jeopardize the security, or the social or economic system, of the people on Taiwan.” Successive U.S. administrations have sold arms to Taiwan in compliance with the Taiwan Relations Act despite demands from the PRC that the U.S. follow the legally non-binding Three Joint Communiques and the U.S. government’s proclaimed One-China policy (which differs from the PRC’s interpretation of its one-China principle). So, it does allow weapons to be sold to Taiwan, but explicitly states that aside from that, it should be impossible for the US to get involved militarily. It doesn’t outright rule out military involvement, technically, but it definitely outright rules out Joe Biden just going up at a press conference and saying he will start a war with China over Taiwan. Literally, the purpose of the act was to make it illegal for a president to do this. Post Comment Private Reply Ignore Thread
