Biden "Not Worried" About Chinese Aggression - Press Secretary Scrambles To Clarify
2022-08-09
[ZERO] President Joe Biden on Monday reacted to China's military announcing it is extending drills surrounding Taiwan. The four days of live fire exercises, which Taiwan sees as a direct threat and has described as effectively a "blockade", were scheduled to end Sunday, but the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) Eastern Theatre Command announced Monday that it is "continuing joint training under real war conditions, focused on organizing joint anti-submarine warfare and naval strikes."

In the fresh remarks, Biden said in what was a surprise to many that he's "not worried" about Chinese aggression toward Taiwan at this moment. "I’m not worried, but I’m concerned that they’re moving as much as they are. But I don’t think they’re going to do anything more," Biden told a group of reporters before traveling to Kentucky.

#4  The Biden window and the Pelosi Provocation are pretext for the massive ChiCom PLAN effort to sustain provocative and increasingly credible demonstrations in-force to make the Taiwanese uncloak any remaining major sensor and weapons systems. This mapping of any unknown but suspected assets is perhaps a final ISR factor in the Go/NoGo decision matrix for Xi.

My guess is the Russian experience has added a limiting political consideration for Xi should it not go well and he faces the CCP Central Committee.

#3  Clearly the "big guy" crime family is still getting payments. Why worry about treason when the GOP is on the take too?

#2  Kinda like his “minor incursion” remark back in February

#1  Of course he "isn't worried." He and the treacherous Deep State are facilitating and abetting the Chinese aggression.

One of these provocative military exercises will suddenly go HOT and we will do absolutely nothing. The Chinese know they have a Biden window and must act soon.
