US is trying to make a none issue into an issue. Not taking a call is the right decision. US attempts to portray China as not cooperating which doesn't even matter as China's standing in the West isn't going to change to the better.

I think it is all related to the Russia Ukraine war.

The idea is to lump Russia and China together.

That way the American public will continue to support that war in Ukraine.

The American people, don't like losers. If Ukraine is perceived as losing, or worst at a stalemate, the American people will lose interest in this war, the ambitious American politician will start to campaign against it.

The US deep state (if it exists) must win that Ukraine war. But war always ebbs and flows, and when behind, got to keep morale up.

That NATO kerfuffle over the tanks, means not all is well.

Now everyone can only talk about the balloon, and by this Friday, the Superbowl.

I'm taking KC.

The rationale is geopolitical.

It times like these, the gods tend to mete out inconsequential justice.

Andy Reid was fired by the Philadelphia organization, more like ran out of town because the fans in Philly at that point blame him for everything, for not winning a Superbowl, and the most successful coach in Eagles history to that point, was canned.

Philly fans are famous for booing Santa Claus.

I don't like Philly fans, although booing Santa Claus is an irresistible touch I find. However, the rest of America, probably hate Philly fans.

Hence, the football gods will probably grant the rest of America their wish, mete out some poetic justice, have Coach Reid beat his old team who fired him, and sticking it to Philly fans at the same time.

The people who boo Santi Claus.

Boo! Boo! Hiss!

:oops::D

I love Eagles Fans. Their villainy is so over the top that it is hard not to like them unless you are on the receiving end of their chucked snowballs or batteries. They are pretty much comic book villains in real life.

I think most Europeans will be glad to get rid of those pipelines. Germany got richer due to its direct dealings with Russia /China but used EU to strangle the rest of Europe.

I don't doubt you, and much of the national security apparatus, believe that. People don't take kindly to supposed allies committing acts of economic sabotage against them. The damage to America's legitimacy on the world stage is a greater loss than any possible geopolitical benefit. And remember, the apparatus that made this decision has nothing to do with America's rise to power, and everything to do with its decline from power.

2. Taiwan Conflict Deterrence Act 2023 If China threatens US interests, the US would: – "publish a report on financial institutions and accounts connected to senior officials of the PRC" – "restrict financial services for certain immediate family of such officials"

Sounds like a pretty good bill, they should really implement it. Rooting out corruption for China, mass capital flight from US, what could go wrong?

Looks like Biden finally understands what win-win cooperation between China and US means.

LMAO this is hilarious. It is literally helping China deter corruption and encouraging capital flight. And not only Chinese and Russians corrupts do this, but also Indian, Viet, Korean, Japanese, Arab, etc. This is literally telling corrupts that they can't count on the w like before.

Yes, much more focussed on Russia/Ukraine, what he said about China was about as short and anodyne as it could be given the recent balloon shenanigans. He got a bit ranty about "what other world leader would want to change places with Xi Jinping" though, I immediately thought "Vladimir Putin".

I got tricked by your comment at first. What Biden actually said was
Name me a world leader who changed places with Xi Jinping. Name me one. NAME ME ONE

You assume he meant who would want to change places with Xi, but maybe he meant who could possibly change places with Xi.

Even more interesting is that part about Xi was made up on the spot, it wasn't in his prepared SOTU script.

Autocracies have grown weaker, not stronger.

America is rallying the world again to meet those challenges, from climate and global health, to food insecurity, to terrorism and territorial aggression.

Maybe you are overthinking this. Maybe Biden needed to change something very bad and just blurted it out.
