Why not just get on the phone with Xi and tell him he can invade Taiwan now?
Assuming that hasn’t happened yet.
There’s a huge backlog of weapons that Taiwain ordered under Trump and hasn’t received yet.
Taiwan is waiting on a backlog of $19 billion in weapons from sales mostly made during the Trump administration. Those weapons can make the difference between a Chinese invasion and peace. But the Biden administration has continued delaying the delivery of those weapons.
In 2019, the Trump administration approved a $2.2 billion sale of M1A2 tanks. Those tanks were supposed to have been delivered in 2022, but the Biden administration instead diverted them to Ukraine. Unlike Taiwan, Ukraine wasn’t paying for the tanks, but went to the front of the line anyway because the Biden administration saw it as a bigger priority than taking on China.
After being denied the right to buy F-22 and F-35 jets, Taiwan was allowed to buy $8 billion worth of F-16 jets. Those were supposed to be delivered in 2023, they’ve since slipped to 2024. The jets, inadequate as they are, are crucial at a time when Communist China has been conducting non-stop penetrations into the Republic of China’s airspace to wear down its aircraft.
A $2 billion deal for 400 Harpoon anti ship missiles, some of the most crucial defensive weapons the Republic of China needs, was signed in 2020 with delivery scheduled for 2029.
The weapons orders were supposed to deter a Chinese Communist invasion, but the delays have instead made it more likely. Xi’s warning to Biden reflects the window before weapons deliveries are likely to occur and the outcome of the upcoming American presidential election.
The window is wider now because Biden signed an agreement with Zelensky at which the idiot-in-chief decided to make the following announcement in response to a question from a reporter.
We have acquired commitment from five countries so far for Patriot batteries and other air defense systems as well as we let it be known to those countries that are expecting from us air defense systems in the future that they’re going to have to wait. Everything we have is going to go to Ukraine until their needs are met. And then we will make good on the commitments we made to other countries.
If you’re the commander-in-chief, why in the world would you announce that a whole bunch of allies are now going to go to the back of the bus? This is going to encourage China and Iran to ramp up whatever war plans they already have.
The specific context appears to be Patriot batteries. Taiwan has Patriot missiles and the Biden administration was urging the nation to upgrade its Patriot defenses. And then Biden decides to say that Taiwain would have to get behind Ukraine.
Every day has become an urgent 25th Amendment case.
I would rather see Joe Biden in Prso Behind Bars with his Son why break up Such a pair of lowlife scum suckers
Yes, a Chinese prison would be appropriate. I’ve read that they’re Hellholes.
omg, as bad as American prisons are, some foreign prisons are Hellholes.
Yes, the thought of going to an American prison like the January sixth political prisoners terrifies me but a Chinese or Russian prison, for example, would be much worse.
Yeah, freezing cold, unsanitary, bad food, brutal and sadistic guards.
whoever down voted me sucks slanty little rice dicks.
Such prisons were portrayed in the movie ‘Spy Game’. If they’re anything like that, hellholes would be an understatement.
It is sounding like the way they deal with Israel (maybe with less rabid hate)
