The following report is by ZeroHedge:
President Biden has affirmed he is ‘not ruling out’ boots on the ground in Taiwan, in the scenario of a future Chinese invasion. While this type of response is really nothing new when it comes to American politicians being asked hypothetical questions about the future of Taiwan, it does come at a tense moment when an anti-Beijing hawk, Lai Ching-te, has just ascended as Taiwan’s new president.
In a fresh interview with Time magazine published Tuesday, Biden was asked what his response as Commander-in-Chief might be if China’s PLA army were to attack the self-ruled island. “It would depend on the circumstances,” the president replied. “We’re continuing to supply capacity… And we’ve been in consultation with our allies in the region.”
But that’s when he explaining he’s not “ruling out using US military force” on the ground. He also said there are other options on the table which he cannot disclose. He added: “You would then criticize me with good reason if I were to tell you.”
Below is the excerpt from the Time interview where Biden was asked about exercising the military option:
During his 40 months in office, events have tested Biden’s vision of American world leadership. Alliances haven’t been enough to win a new European war in Ukraine. U.S. power and leverage haven’t prevented a humanitarian catastrophe in the Middle East, marked by alleged war crimes. Putin is trying to assemble an axis of autocrats from Tehran to Beijing.
In China, the U.S. faces an adversary potentially its equal in economic and military power that is intent on tearing down the American global order. President Xi has told his military to be ready to invade Taiwan by 2027, U.S. officials say, raising the possibility of a dark analogue to Normandy in Asia. Biden doesn’t rule out sending troops to defend Taiwan if China attacked, saying, “It would depend on the circumstances.”
We should note that the publication’s allegation that Russia’s Putin is trying to “assemble an axis of autocrats from Tehran to Beijing” is a tad exaggerated and lacking in nuance.
Independent journalist Michael Tracey has also pointed out some significant flaws in the article’s assumptions, especially when it comes to commentary on Biden and Trump’s foreign policy visions….
First, Biden repeats the common Democratic folklore that Trump wants to “abandon” US alliances, and in particular wants to “eviscerate” NATO. At this point, this is just pure mind-melting myth. Trump brags to this VERY DAY about how he secured additional spending commitments from NATO member states. It makes zero sense for Trump to “eviscerate” NATO, a key tool of American hegemonic power, which Trump bombastically pledges to maintain and expand.
Absolutely nothing from the actual record of the Trump Administration reflects doing anything to substantively undermine NATO. Rather, the opposite: He literally signed off on two rounds of NATO expansion, and he elevated Ukraine into a NATO subsidiary status. He increased the funding of the Pentagon funding vehicle for US troops in Europe. He set up new military garrisons in Poland.
Trump even recently posted an endorsement of his pro-NATO stance from the NATO secretary-general, Jens Stoltenberg. This is so disastrous because it perpetuates the political dynamic whereby Trump is given incentive to further demonstrate how steadfastly supportive he is of NATO, to refute this never-ending myth.
Likely their views of how to handle the Taiwan crisis also line up similarly. As November draws closer, the anti-China rhetoric from both campaigns is likely to ratchet higher.
Starting as far back as two years ago, Biden publicly said he would be ready to defend Taiwan militarily in the event of a Chinese invasion. Chinese military drills have surrounding Taiwan have only grown more aggressive since then.
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
Indeed, both Biden and Trump administrations are in total agreement and lockstep in their anti-China propaganda and warmongering. We examined this in a report covering these neocons in a piece for Foreign Affairs that outright said that both groups are going to strengthen their resolve against China, increase tariffs and restrictions, and ramp-up military production and attempt a coup d’état to topple their government. These people are insane, it’s not going to happen.

However, that’s not to say that a war with China is not the cards, it absolutely is and I have already said that you should just assume that this eventually happen, acting as America’s “last grenade” as the empire implodes from within these next couple of years.
Matthew 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.
Matthew 24:6-8

[7] Who goeth a warfare any time at his own charges? who planteth a vineyard, and eateth not of the fruit thereof? or who feedeth a flock, and eateth not of the milk of the flock? [8] Say I these things as a man? or saith not the law the same also? [9] For it is written in the law of Moses, Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the ox that treadeth out the corn. Doth God take care for oxen? [10] Or saith he it altogether for our sakes? For our sakes, no doubt, this is written: that he that ploweth should plow in hope; and that he that thresheth in hope should be partaker of his hope. (1 Corinthians 9:7-10).

It surely doesn’t help that Taiwan is a sinful nation glorifying sodomy and drag queens. At a time when Taiwan is most threatened and they should be awaking to righteousness, turning at God’s reproof, and gearing up their military and troops 24/7!
