we have once again reached a point where president houseplant's statements are immediately dismissed by his own officials.

someone here referred to this interview as a car crash... that was far too kind.
A senior Biden administration official said on Thursday that U.S. policy on Taiwan had not changed after President Joe Biden appeared to suggest the United States would defend the island if it were attacked, a deviation from a long-held U.S. position of "strategic ambiguity."

part one here, almost completely ignored by the same media who spent several days agonizing over trump tweeting 'covfefe'

If you have any question about if Biden is REALLY running the show... you just got your answer.

A senior Biden administration official said U.S. "policy with regard to Taiwan has not changed" and analysts said it appeared that Biden had misspoken.


The President of the United States has misspoken.



This is supposed to be the type of public statement for public consumption... where officials say something, without saying anything.

Biden's national security adviser Jake Sullivan was asked about Taiwan this week and called it a "fundamentally different question in a different context" to Afghanistan.

"We believe our commitment to Taiwan ... remains as strong as it's ever been," he said, without specifying what the commitment was.

It’s constant isn’t it ?

Clean up on Aisle POTUS
Clean up on Aisle State Department
Clean up on Aisle Defence Department

Let’s be honest …

The US is a society that officially can no longer tell the difference between males and females. It's a country that will make a skilled worker unemployable the first time some idiot says the skilled worker hurt their feelings. Our richest citizens cheer for China while demanding the federal government label conservatives "terrorists". All that needs to be done to defeat the US at war is lay low and wait for the newest way our ruling class tears our society apart for profit and fun. Taiwan falls next and the “Clean Up” crew has made it clear.

TeamJoeBama Shrugs and is already planning who they will blame it on …. Beginning with OrangeManBad.

I think we are VERY close to seeing Biden step down; and I honestly think and hope he will do so voluntarily (although I think that it will be suggested that he do so). Probably not for another month or two, but it think it will happen, and I just hope I'm right!

I hope not. The alternative is even worse.

US policy is what the POTUS says it is.

So we either have treasonous cabinet members undermining the POTUS or we have a POTUS who is nothing more than a figure-head.

So which is it?

Sometimes the puppet forgets who his puppetmasters are, & other times he just forgets he's a puppet at all.

Biden is our Pinnocchio, a puppet who thinks he is a real human, & who speaks mis-truths a lot, even though they are obvious to those with real eyes & ears.

It looks like a bit of both.
