The incoherent mess of jumbled marbles occupying the oval office told everyone today that it’s okay if Russia takes a little piece of Ukraine territory, but not too much – or else it’s curtains for Putin, or something. WATCH:
.
Forget Putin for a moment, imagine how Chairman Xi views this against the backdrop of Taiwan.
Longer segment of the response below:
.
As Sundance has stated, Xi is observing Biden vs Putin against a backdrop of Taiwan. So, I will take this opportunity to say a few important things about Taiwan. I’m sure there are more knowledgeable Treepers on this subject (remember A2?), but I lived in Taiwan in the 70s, speak the language (Mandarin plus working knowledge of Taiwanese), and over a period of years spoke with many people who played historical parts in this complex situation.
Most important to know is that Taiwan has native Taiwanese (Chinese originally from Fujian starting hundreds of years ago), and Chinese families who fled China after it fell to the communists. We can call these mainlanders (or outside province people 外省人)The mainlanders had the money and or connections.
After the Japanese surrender (Taiwan had been a Japanese colony) the mainlanders fleeing to Taiwan basically elbowed the Taiwanese out of the way. On Feb 28 1947, Chiang Kai Shek’s soldiers turned their machine guns on Taiwanese protestors and slaughtered at least 20,000. Many thousand more were imprisoned as “communists”.
In the 1970s (after the death of Chiang Kai Shek), wealthy mainlanders on Taiwan began investing heavily in mainland China, and providing technological assistance. Without their help, China would not be a power. Now Taiwan faces the monster of their creation.
Many of the wealthy mainlanders have been promoting and facilitating “reunification” for decades. They function as a 5th column, and are playing a key role currently, although they sort of pretend to be patriotic Taiwan people. They think they will be important people, with a place at the table, after Taiwan falls. They want their ancestral lands back. They do not care about the fate of the native Taiwanese, whom will probably wind up like the Hong Kong Chinese.
Xi and Putin are somewhat worried about Biden. they know he blames them for everything, and lingers them around only to BLAME them later.
virus from America
Putin isnt doing anything but getting his WARM WATER port back that was taken by Biden and his Gas Station Team – to middleman profit in supplying Europe
(its why biden didnt shut down the pipeline – cause Ukraine is Biden’s gas pump that europe has to use, and Putin has to send through)
There is another factor that dictates Russia’s behavior re the Ukraine pipeline. Russia has worked hard to build its reputation as a trusted and trustworthy fuel vendor. They honor their contracts, period.
If Biden has shut down Ukraine’s Russian pipeline, Ukraine would be bankrupt immediately and its people would freeze to death. Many in the EU would be in the same situation espec Germany.
The contract with Ukraine will be ending soon and Russia has given ample notice that Russia will not renew it. Which means if Germany doesn’t give a green light to NS2, they will have to make up the Ukraine shortfall probably by buying from the US at insane prices.
Germany asked Russia to build NS2, they were well aware that the Ukraine line would be closed. They US has them between a rock and a hard place and they are quite angry about that. As for Russia, all they have to do is reroute the fuel to China, so no skin off their nose.
Thanks for the background info Emet!
emet:
“…after Taiwan falls.”
You nailed it.
Thank you, good info. I remember and miss A2, with his current on the ground reports, but you did a great job explaining motivations and history. Much appreciated!
Uh, excuse me but its HER on the ground reports.
Never understood how she was able to post here regularly FROM the mainland, but I asked her once, and she said she was in an “off the beaten path little village” (my words, recollecting what she implied) and as such managed to never come to the attention of the authorities.
A smart, gutsy lady with a sharp toungue and wry sense of humor, who “did not suffer fools gladly.”
The fact is – Taiwan has not been governed from Beijing since the 1800s!!
Taught at Fu Jen University in Taiwan from ’76 until ’82. Wonderful place. Just wanted to add that even today, the February 28 ’47 slaughter is not mentioned in History classes even at University level.
I remember and sorely miss A2, she boxed my ears many a time, but she was always right, and adjusted my thinking on the whole China situation, for which I remain grateful.
Was not Taiwan formally Formosa or am I forgetting my history?
Taiwan is the Chinese name, Formosa was the Portuguese name. Until maybe the early 70’s there were no “F” encyclopedias on Taiwan, because of the article on Formosa referring to Ckiang Kai Shek as a warlord.
Very insightful, thank you
Did I miss when Ukraine became a US state? No? Then nothing happening in Ukraine is any business of the US government or any responsibility of the American tax payer. Nothing in Ukraine is worth one drop of American blood or one grain of American gold.
Joey and Cocaine Hunter grift there.
They aren’t alone.
AND McStain, Graham collecting their cut.
LOTS has and no doubt continues to “go on” thats “our business” as it seemed to be where Congress went, to negotiate deals for votes for foreign military and non-military aid.
They could be hoping for war simply to keep that graft hidden.
The thing is if Russia gets kicked off SWIFT, their banking system grinds to a halt. Russia’s economy will follow. Odds are China will move into the eastern fringes of Russia and grab natural resources. Belarus, Kazakhstan will likely flair up.
All of this would happen without the death of one American soldier. Europe can clean up their mess.
This is why I believe this is all theatre to divert attention from F*cked Joe Biden.
Then, obviously they will NOT kick Russia off SWIFT, cause then Russia would close the spigot, and Europe would freeze.
Mexican standoff?
The more we threaten to cut them out of the financial system the more justification and motivation we give them to create their own.
If the world stops using dollars, the dollar is dead.
Mexican standoff… This is all theatre…
I thought they and the Chinese had developed an alternative to SWIFT?
Don’t be surprised if the Belt and Road Initiative is funded by Eurodollars.
Yet my USN hubby is on standby to deploy there 🙁
Chris its for Western Europe, not the US. Didn’t you get the memo. It is incumbent upon the US to spend billions of dollars on defense to protect Western Europe while these gov’t spend all the cash on personal benefits such as three months of vacation for everyone. “What do you mean your only going to New Zealand for a week? Take a month of two!
Looking back, who was it that forced these countries to finally pony up for NATO. Pay your fair share! None other than DT. And what was part of their response? Tariffs to help pay for it. And so it goes. Another reason the cabal had to get rid of Trump.
This is the same guy that was stern when he gave Putin a short list of things he was not allow to hack.
Lenin called people like old Joe useful idiots.
It was a big blunder for sure but then again the Biden administrations foreign policy as it relates to Ukraine and Russia is completely insane and reckless. Why is Biden risking a nuclear war over the corrupt country of Ukraine? Why are there so many cheerleaders in the media for this push to war with a nuclear power? Half the questions in the press conference were “journalists” prodding Biden to go to war with Russia. Do these people not release that a hot war with Russia will not be confined to Europe? It would be the first war in modern history that will be played out on American soil. Millions of Americans will die if it turns nuclear.
Putin does not want to invade Ukraine he just wants the United States and NATO to stay out of Ukraine which is in Russia’s backyard and of strategic importance to Russia. How would the United State react if Russia put its troops in Canada or Mexico? The U.S. would never permit Russia troops on it’s border so we should not be surprised that Putin has drawn this read line.
All Putin wants is an agreement from the United States that it will not bring Ukraine into NATO and this is what the American public should want. Does anyone want to sacrifice their sons or daughter in a war between Russia and Ukraine? That is what NATO membership for Ukraine would mean.
Putin will not back down. He has drawn his red-line in Ukraine and if NATO crosses that red-line not only will Putin invade Ukraine it will go ahead and place missiles in Cuba and/or Venezuela. Do we want a Cuban missile crisis over Ukraine?
The same crew responsible for the Maidan color revolution of 2014 – Joe Biden, Victoria Nuland and Jake Sullivan are just picking up where they left off.
Tucker Carlson had a great segment on this topic last night exposing how insane all of this is:
Hang on – according to Blinken & Biden et al – sovereign countries like Canada, Mexico and Cuba can join any military alliances they want and station Russian & Chinese troops all along their borders if they want.
They are sovereign states after all.
I don’t blame Putin at all, he is doing what any country SHOULD expect from its leader; to look out for the countries best interests,…would that WE had such a leader.
As for NATO, it is an Organisation without a mission, desperately trying to remain relevant.
FJB and FEU.
Joe says he works 14 hour days. Biggest surprise of the whole “news conference”!
Kind of like Slick Willie. It depends on the meaning of the word “work”.
Perhaps he’s awake for that long . . .
He misread the teleprompter and did not see the decimal point between one and four.
Gotta understand that. We have 24 hour days, he has 14 hours.
He was being truthful–He has worked 14 one hour days!
Daily amazed of the stupidity that so easily escapes the lips of the current corrupt, illegal representatives and alphabet criminal divisions on stage since 1-20-21 in the USA thinking they will go peacefully into the night!
I hope they learn how to shovel 24/7 in very hot places.
“Don’t ask me about foreign countries, man! I have enough to worry about here with these independent minded American rebels and insurrectionists.”
He’s a regular Neville Chamberlin.
No, it’s worse than that, he’s WALTER MITTY! Do any of you remember the “Secret Life of Walter Mitty”, by James Thurber? He’s actually a type of Walter Mitty……. only Joe’s hollow, there’s nothing there anymore. I am not sure there ever was anything. Liars get hollowed out pretty early in life and filled up with many more “spirits”. They are 7 times worse than before.
Well, a constipated Chamberlain anyway.
Seriously, the comparison is unfair–to Chamberlain.
He was a patriot, but caught up in the Arms Control Wishful Thinking of the ’30’s. But he wasn’t on the payroll of Germany and Japan like Biden is on Russia’s and China’s.
Russia Collusion Hoax and Ukraine Impeachment Hoax, wrapped into one. Any transcripts of Biden’s phone calls with Ukraine or Russia being leaked?
It is definitely a crazy house. I am just struggling to figure out if I am inside or outside.
Corn Pop said under Obama he was working on the United, oops not that, the Democratic Hemisphere. – meaning he was working on that North America Union – Canada, US, and all of south america.
Ted’s wife’s pet project at Goldmen Sach’s
its DEMOCRAT not Democratic. Democracy SUCKS
That was a VERY VERY revealing OOPS.
I’ll never forget Pelosi at some public thing said, “We’re AAAAAALLLLLLL America,” motioning with her hand north and south.
I guess some fish do know they are wet…
Yah right.
That’s what they told Saddam; “oh sure, you can go into Kuwait; we don’t care, we won’t do anything.
That started the thirty year war. Ended in defeat at the hands of the Taliban as Biden ran with his tail between his legs.
Some things never change.
I was more pissed about his Afganistan comments!!
FJB!
he basically said i could have killed 13 of our men now, or killed thousand more later.
and he said it cost a billion a day, so i just left 80 billion of equipment, because i dont have to make sense when i tell Americans to TAKE IT.
Immediately following this so called ‘presser’ President Trump was speaking on Mark Levin’s radio show. The contrast between leaders was heartbreaking.
Bannon was calling for an immediate presser from Trump. I heartily agree. To show in stark relief the contrast of a leader vs. a puppet.
Bannon was on fire last night. I hope he calls Trump and demands that he give a presser.
Dang missed it! I’ll have to listen on Audio Rewind.
What made me mad is not one of the so called journalists asked him a tough question. One question was about his son’s business conflicet of interest affecting Uncle Xi and Joe;s relationship. Joe completely ingnored to question like it was never asked. He just babbled on abot something else. Afterall, he’s doing a fantastic job.
“Forget Putin for a moment, imagine how Chairman Xi views this against the backdrop of Taiwan”.
Xi already paid for Taiwan with the billion dollar loan guarantee to Hunter.
Xi made his decision on Taiwan months ago… today he just pushed the schedule up by 6 months.
You know what? I don’t really care about Taiwan. I’m tired of countries getting rich while living under the American defense umbrella and then expecting us to spend our blood and treasure to rescue them. Taiwan has had decades to purchase and arm thousands of cruise missiles aimed at Beijing with fire bomb warheads and to tell CCP that the first commie boot that lands on Taiwan, Beijing will cease to exist.
It’s the shipping lanes on the South China Sea that are at risk if China takes it as a sovereign lake. Taiwan looks like a domino to those who take the long view.
Many computer chips come from Taiwan. Lose Taiwan, good luck getting a smart phone or laptop.
Taiwan will blow up the Three Gorges Dam. That would cripple China. They can take care of themselves.
I’ve been convinced since The Steal that Taiwan wouldn’t survive this “administration”.
Apparently, Hunter has been unable to persuade Taiwan officials that he has an inside track to the President or they’re unwilling to pay the introduction fee.
You might be right. Perhaps it won’t.
America isn’t in charge of the world anymore. And hasn’t had the moral standing to claim differently perhaps ever, but certainly not since they pulled the 9/11 stunt.
It’s a difficult truth to accept however accept it we should.
Our Nation can handle competion and we MUST turn inward and begin healing the damage these psychopaths have caused during their reign of terror and error these last 30+ years.
The world has changed.
looks like Ukraine must have made a phone call.. Jen Psaki just
put out a statement clarifying what Joe said about Russian
and minor incursion..per Fox news
Nothing could make Trump look better to a prog than Joe Biden. Trump should send him a fruit basket.
WTF- “They will be able to prevail over time”
And you don’t think China isn’t sending Eussia some of that $85 Billion equipment from Afghanistan.
We are governed by FOOLS!!!
Biden personifies the smash and grab going on in Los Angeles…only he is doing it to our Republic….
Indeed. He’s been looting the nation for almost 50 years
a.) Russia and China have dirty pictures of the Bidens as well as bribery receipts. Biden will do nothing.
b.) The only real chance of war is if Xi orders his employee Biden to fight–and lose.
c.) That said, Russia and China don’t really want to expose Biden. They really like having a sock-puppet in the White House.
Whatever these countries do or don’t do, Perv. Biden is a non-factor.
.
China is working on trying to get more investments in Ukraine, and vice versa. In the meantime, China is trying to make a big impressive show in the Shitholistans, such as putting up gorgeous buildings with styrofoam facades.
Tofu construction.
Psucky is already walking back FJB minor incursion slip. Usually they wait a day to come up with something. Clearly Ukraine got on the phone. Its actually funny to watch this over and over again.
Lootinnnent Kerrnell Viddmannn have any issues with that phone call to a , omg, foreign power?
“The incoherent mess of jumbled marbles” that’s too funny and we all need to remember to keep our sense of humor 😀
Did I just hear.. War powers (10%) in exchange for a sliver of Ukraine…
I wonder what he would look like if he didn’t have that face lift..omg…yuk.
WH had to issue statement cleaning up Biden’s remarks.
https://www.dailywire.com/news/white-house-has-to-issue-statement-cleaning-up-bidens-disastrous-remarks-on-russia-ukraine
Can’t wait for the state of the union speech!😂
First, create the crisis, and then, act like a little girl in the face of the crisis.
Biden is the Pierre Delecto of George W. Bushes.
I respectfully disagree with any commentary suggesting that aggression and hostility toward Russia by the USG is in any rational, moral or ethical sense justified.
It simply is not.
I am delighted that the regimes efforts toward Russia further undermines support for these psychopaths and creates yet another ‘fine mess’ for them to have gotten themselves into however my only real satisfaction is that God willing war will be avoided and humanity will be spared the horror of what would transpire were these monsters to provoke Russia into open kinetic warfare.
Just my humble opinion.
$600 million in blankets will scare the Russians.
It is so stressful and painful watching this idiot make a fool of himself and our country every day.
All I know is his eyes are not his. It really creeps me out.
It’s only a side effect of his dementia medication. It’s most prominent in the afternoon.
Neo-con Nuland’s Ukraine and Taiwan are not worth the expenditure of one drop of American blood.
Would not be surprised if Taiwan had a nuclear capability.
Recall US Senators flying to Taiwan on an Air Force cargo jet. Why so much tonnage to fly a couple Senators? I am sure a comfy Gulfstream would have been preferred, and would have been cheaper. So what cargo was on the cargo aircraft that required such a delivery crew? Go look it up, it is suspicious. The leftist US/UK fascist cabal wants to control, and is using China to weaken the West for the takeover. But China doesn’t want to be the pawn, China wants the whole enchilada. So how do you check the power of China? I predict a “test” nuke explosion underground somewhere in Taiwan.
What an A$$. They had to rush a statement out, “clarifying”.
Yup, I remember a lot of that same rhetoric from Joe about leaving Afghanistan….right before we tucked our tails in defeat and scampered away giving the Taliban full ownership of that country as well as a lot of our nifty military hardware.
I was looking at the map of Ukraine to see what the Ruskies are thinking and doing. They are building up troops in Belarus along the Dneiper River which would be their possible entry point at the border of Ukraine and Belarus. Other countries that border Ukraine are Moldovia, Romania, Slovakia and Poland. They are probably associated within the NATO umbrella. But are relatively distant from the river. The river basically cuts Ukraine in half. So in the end the Ruskies would be fine to get half of that country to control the river which empties into the Black Sea which opens their ports to their navy to the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East.
Russia is not going to “invade” Ukraine.
The exception to that is if Ukraine does the same thing Georgia did in 2008 – attacks one of the regions currently held by pro-Russians.
In that case – it will retaliate against Ukraine at some level.
Only Ukrainian actions will kick this off – same as in 2013/14.
The media is shifting focus to Ukraine to change the subject and attention away from Biden’s domestic mess.
Simple as that. There’s nothing like a foreign crisis or war to get attention away from domestic failings. It’s been that way for centuries.
“Dementia” is trending after Biden’s presser …
Was suprised FJB didnt come out with his aviators on.

Watching Ingraham, and she showed the clip where he had a long pause then leaned forward and sarcastically(?) said he’d like to thank the good job his communications staff was doing, it now occurs to me – was he waiting for someone to feed him an answer in his ear piece and nothing came thru?
I imagine what keeps the enemies at bay is that they know the American people are nothing like the American government.
Ukrainian officials tell CNN’s Matthew Chance that they are “shocked” and “stunned” at President Biden’s remarks during a White House press conference about Russian President Vladimir Putin.

And,
White House looks to clarify Biden’s ‘minor incursion’ comment on Russia and Ukraine
https://www.politico.com/amp/news/2022/01/19/biden-ukraine-russia-527440
Something is up with Biden’s eyes. Not sure what I’m seeing.
We haven’t got long until this whole mess is over.
Joe lizard man Biden trying to sooth the nation.
Jill must be a complete whore.
Turns out Putin is bit more than Corn Pop!
Oh, great! Having given BILLIONS of $ of American armaments to the Taliban, Brandon is now giving $600 million $ of U.S. “Defensive weopons” to Ukraine, for Putin,…after “long, frank discussions with Putin” no doubt haggling over the price.
One of the aspects if being POTUS is being “Commander in Chief”, and while we hope no POTUS makes C in C decisions based on “political considerations” but its undeniable that such considerations DO exist.
That is, C in C actions CAN improve the publics position of a POTUS, such as taking out Osama Bin Laden, or hurt a POTUS, such as Carters ineptitude with the Iranian Hostage crises.
Biden seems to be going out of his way, to do everything he can to degrade ANY confidence in him, as C in C.
Truly discouraging,..
Biden has taken f -up to unimaginable heights 😲
