The word for the week in Taiwan is “Escalation.” Joe Biden is going to blunder us into Armageddon one way or another. His failure of leadership has the Pentagon playing one game and liberal publicity hounds, like Nancy Pelosi, playing another. China told them all, over and over, that they were playing with fire and would get burned. The Pooh Bear can’t back down now, so that means the fuse is lit. It’s Blood and Honey time for his rebellious territory.
An escalation of tension and hostility
An official palace spokesunit for Imperial Leader Joseph Robinette Biden Jr. told China, “up yours.” They’ll keep sailing warships through the Taiwan Strait whether the Chinese Communist Party likes it or not.
They also promise to “conduct air operations in the region.” Both sides are blaming the other for starting it but it’s clear to everyone but Democrats that we started it. That’s why escalation of force is inevitable.
The minions of Dark Brandon are using the Chinese response to Nancy Pelosi’s provocation as an excuse to evolve “a long-term strategy of heightened military pressure on the island.”

The last thing they want to do, Biden officials insist, is cause escalation in “the tense confrontation, which China maintains was provoked by last week’s visit to the island by Speaker Nancy Pelosi.” They’re doing it though.
Democrats love to flip the script. “American and Taiwanese officials made clear they now believe China used Ms. Pelosi’s visit as a pretext to step up its operations to intimidate Taiwan for months or years to come.”
Perhaps “speed the timetable of its plans to establish control over the island’s 23 million people, much as it did in Hong Kong.” That is the very definition of escalation, right there.
An aircraft carrier ‘too provocative’
Over the past few days, China shot off enough missiles into the Sea of Japan to warn American forces in Okinawa they’re easily in range. Their other military movements demonstrated they have operational control over the entire region any time they want to exercise it.
They shut the whole strait down with live fire exercises for a few days, making it look like they’re hoping Joe would get the message and start apologizing. One logical possibility is that China bribed Joe, through Hunter, to give them the excuse they need to go ahead and invade. All the escalation seems to be progressing right on schedule, if that does happen to be the case.
The Pentagon already has plans to run ships through the Taiwan Strait, “ignoring China’s recent claim that it controls the entire waterway.” They know there is a limit and they plan to touch but not cross it. That still might be too close.
“Officials said they would not send the Ronald Reagan, the Japan-based aircraft carrier, because it would be too provocative.” No matter what they send through there, it will cause escalation of an already tense situation.
Democrats can’t sit back and watch Xi Jinping “coerce” Taiwan and the international community, under secretary of defense for policy Colin H. Kahl insists. “All I’ll say is we’re not going to take the bait, and it’s not going to work.”
“What we’ll do instead, is to continue to fly, to sail and operate wherever international law allows us to do so, and that includes in the Taiwan Strait.” If they go ahead and sink our battleship, that would be the escalation we need to send in the Reagan. The carrier isn’t the only thing nuclear around there.
