US Needs to Show Political Will With China, Russia and Iran

 Yesterday we blogged about the imminent rumors of war in regards to China, Russia and Iran.  A weak America is a danger to the entire world.  And Russia, China and Iran know that Biden is weak as are the Democrats who would rather focus on defunding the police and paying off everyone's student loans.  They know that if they are going to act to take over Ukraine, Taiwan and Iran to build a nuke to threaten the world, that they all better act sooner than later because they can't risk that Trump, or someone like him, is going to be elected and stand up against their evil empires with tough talk and action.

Today we saw this headline at Epoch Times that mentions the same players as we wrote about yesterday, so considered it blog-worthy.

With China, Russia, and Iran, US Needs to Show Political Will

What we have now with China and Russia are distinctly different cases of countries aggressively seeking greater influence in the world and particularly on their own borders, and steadily flexing their muscles while seeking to avoid arousing the United States and its bedraggled alliances to a confrontational response.

China is a vastly more serious challenge than Russia. It has already accomplished the greatest feat of economic self-elevation of any nation in history. Of course, that accomplishment has been very uneven. Premier Li Keqiang recently said 600 million Chinese live on less than 1,000 yuan ($157) a month. At the same time, enormous wealth is concentrated in the hands of well-placed Communist Party members. Economic growth has been gained at the cost of extreme environmental degradation, and it has been accompanied by extensive human rights violations and the creation of a police state more comprehensive than any heretofore imagined.

It is the only country that at times in its past was one of the world’s greatest nations and descended into disorganization, weakness and foreign condescension and revived from such a state of vulnerability to become a great power in the world again.

The much vaunted “Open Door policy” of the United States towards China 125 years ago was really just an open door to permit the United States to join Japan and the European powers in the exploitation of a prostrate China.

When Mao Tse-tung won the Chinese Civil War in 1949 and occupied Beijing, he uttered the famous words “China has stood up.” So it has, but as Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin said in an interview last week it is also true that “China is not 10 feet tall.”

Biden has a long history of being pro-Chinese and that is without factoring in the generous and highly inappropriate payments that the Biden family have received from China for unspecified services.

These are entirely temporary circumstances but they have emboldened the Chinese to tear up the treaty it had subscribed over Hong Kong with the United Kingdom, one of the world’s most respected nations, and it has not shown any disposition to relax what amounts to a long-term genocide against their Uyghur minority, constant persecution of all religions, or to engage in aggressive military skirmishing in the Himalayas with India, to make absurd claims of the South China Sea as territorial waters, and to threaten to abrogate the 1972 Shanghai agreement with President Nixon. That agreement asserted the principle of a united China including Taiwan, but with assurance that China would not try to reunify China coercively, and that the U.S. would not encourage the complete separation of Taiwan from China.

The facts remain that China, compared to the United States, is resources-poor, chronically aged (because of their insane one-child policy), has no political institutions that function well and are trusted inside or outside China, and no statement or number published by the People’s Republic that can be believed. It is well advanced to becoming the most technologically totalitarian regime in history, with the ability to locate every single person in the country within a few minutes.

It remains a corrupt regime with all the long-term instabilities of dictatorships, made more complicated by the fact that it purports to be a communist society while promoting state and monopolistic capitalism.

We need to remember that will all of Putin's bluster and bravado, they are an intensely poor country who has a GDP smaller than New Jersey.  Yes they have some intense super-sonic missiles that could cause some real havoc but we are still WAY more powerful than Russia.

Same thing goes with China.  Their country is a mess of poverty and one of their hugest corporations just went belly up and is going to cause huge financial problems for this huge, corrupt, childless nation.  USA is still WAY more powerful than China and we need to act like it.

Iran?  Good grief.  It's hard to imagine the incompetency of Biden and his willingness to try and resurrect the idiotic Obama-Iran nuke deal.  Iran is on the verge of collapse and they desperately want a bomb for one last hurrah and Biden is most likely going to allow it to happen and may even be attempting to stop Israel from destroying Iran's nuclear ambitions.
