#1 I see this as Russian support. Distract attention. Dilute money and resources to this area of the world but I suspect Biden has no plans to do anything to interfere with China. Taiwan is on its own. Japan must be making preparations. Nervous preparations.

#2 China is where the 'big guy' gets his blood money.

#3 I remain convinced that the Puppet Show is orchestrated in great detail by the Kalorama Kompound Presidium, witness the new press secretary's close ties to MoveOn.org and the ValJar connection via CNN. The Eminence Gris behind the Chair at the Central Committee meetings there is undoubtedly Chinese. The Magic Kenyan thinks they are useful supporters because he is an arrogant, racist twit, but it is he and his minions that are the useful idiot. The Elite Capture strategy of the CCP seems to have taken political leadership control of the heart of our government and the risible demokrat party.

#4 I seem to recall an incident many years ago in which a group of Cuban activists who sought to liberate Cuba from the Castro regime flew their private airplanes toward Cuba, right up to the edge of Cuban airspace. They did this many times just to harass Fidel. But one day Cuban air force pilots scrambled their jets and met the freedom activists. Some, if not all, of the activist were blown out of the sky.

There were all kinds of protests, hand wringing and a great deal of sympathy for the freedom activists. But there was also some understanding that the communist were justified in their response to the provocation.

It's kinda like the wise ass on the playground who throws pretend punches close to the face of the wimp...until the wimp punches him out.

It seems you have a right to defend your personal space.
