Tucker Carlson understands that Nancy Pelosi’s planned trip to Taiwan is not the first act in the politics between America and China but is the latest act in a decades-long relationship that has seen China steadily usurp America’s lead both economically and militarily.
This by Andrea Widburg on americanthinker.
Tucker is very certain about what’s going on:
Joe Biden, having continued the work that all presidents but for Donald Trump began, which is to turn America into China’s colony, has now taken the utterly irrational step of baiting China into a military confrontation with America.
That step is the insistence that Nancy Pelosi, who manages to combine her habitual viciousness with seemingly escalating dementia, will go to Taiwan.
There’s no reason for Pelosi to go to Taiwan, especially because doing so messes with the careful, friendly neutrality America has maintained toward that valiant, productive little island for decades now.
China insists that Taiwan is a breakaway part of the communist People’s Republic of China, while Taiwan (AKA the Republic of China) insists that it is the legitimate government of the Chinese nation.
In other words, for China and Taiwan, this is very serious business.
Taiwan bristles like a porcupine with weaponry because China presents an omnipresent threat to turn its military and population heft against the island.
We hope Tucker is wrong about the Obiden Regime walking us into war. After all, as Tucker notes, the Obiden Regime has significantly weakened our military because of its obsession with race and the LGBTQ++ agenda.
Additionally, we are utterly dependent on China for everything, from basic medicines (painkillers and antibiotics) to most of our technology.
Alternatively, if we’re not dependent on China for technology, we’re dependent on Taiwan for that same technology—and China has the ability to block all shipping from there to here.
Perhaps what we’re witnessing is an elaborate pantomime involving both China and The Regime. Keep in mind that, as Tucker points out, Joe Biden has already yielded completely to China on all things:
He is a toady to China. Since the day Biden [assumed the position] he has helped the Chinese government in ways that no American president has ever even contemplated.
A partial list:
- The administration helped cover up the origins of COVID even after it became very clear that this global pandemic, which wrecked the American economy, was created by the Chinese military, but we can’t mention that because it’s racist.
- Then, the White House shut down a counterespionage program designed to stop Chinese spying, which is endemic in the United States.
- Biden dropped tariffs against Chinese goods.
- Biden refused to do anything to move critical manufacturing back to the United States.
- At the same time, he’s literally selling our strategic oil reserves to China in the middle of a domestic energy crisis and handing our entire energy grid over to the government of China.
- And, to top it off, the Pentagon spokesman, John Kirby, who acts as the White House spokesman all of a sudden for some reason said this, “We do not support Taiwan independence.”
Perhaps the spectacle of Biden and Pelosi standing up to China now is simply part of a careful script:
China has significant economic problems, and, although its military is formidable, it also has the weakness of all totalitarian militaries, which is that it’s inflexible and it can’t address its own problems.
Moreover, its weapons are “made in China” (meaning they’re badly made).
For all the huffing and puffing, China probably does not want a war.
With an election coming up, there’s a benefit to both China and Biden for Joe to look brave and powerful to the American people, even as he continues to sell out America to the Chinese.
Bottom line: What the democrats are doing again to We the People has the atmosphere of a House of Mirrors. Think ‘obfuscation.’ This is another effort for the democrat-communists to look strong and worthy of votes come November.
Our enemy is cornered, weakened, and vicious and willing to risk the entire nation for their goal of retaining power.
The GOP must remain cautious and anticipatory. These hijinks will continue and will become more intense.
