Irrelevant. The Taiwan issue was/is/will always depend on the wishes of China-US Governments.
Blinken is just the front man for the whole national security establishment. He resigns today, tomorrow another hawk will take his placeBlinker needs to step down; a fuck up of this sort pushes the United States to war with China
A has revealed some interesting information: recall a few month ago when US had that C-17 suddenly land in Taiwan. The stuff it was carrying was in fact only secondary to its mission. The primary purpose was an exercise in pulling AIT out of Taiwan in case of emergency. They didn't move all of AIT for this of course, just a subset of the people and subset of the stuff they had to carry.
Upon being notified that this exercise was going to happen, DPP asked the Americans to be part of this exercise, particularly they would like Ms Tsai to also board the plane during the exercise. The Americans told them no, if they wanted to run similar exercise they should do their own.
So what the Taiwanese government did was to drive Tsai and entourage to just outside the wire fence while the AIT pull out exercise was running and said good enough.
Given what happened in Kabul not even 2 month ago, I would think it would be prudent for them to start stocking up on parachutes.
Blinken is extremely powerful and cant be pressured to step down by Sleepy Joe. He is your textbook example of an establishment guy who rose up the ranks in the National security apparatus of US and has gone along well with every President before (except Trump).Blinker needs to step down; a fuck up of this sort pushes the United States to war with China
Only minor point I would differ on s that the US MIC doesn’t want a hot war, they want a cold one.Blinken is extremely powerful and cant be pressured to step down by Sleepy Joe. He is your textbook example of an establishment guy who rose up the ranks in the National security apparatus of US and has gone along well with every President before (except Trump).
When Blinken says something then its the voice of US Intelligence Apparatus. US MIC wants war & its clear .Now its upto China to move in such a way that it will be the one who decides where , when and how the war will take place.
