Speaking to CBS “60 Minutes” yesterday,” 79-year-old President Joe Biden shows clearly he’s not fit for duty as commander-in-chief. Biden ended over 40 years of “strategic ambiguity” telling Scott Pelley that the U.S. would defend Taiwan in the event of a Mainland Chinese invasion. Never before has a U.S. president changed the policy of “strategic ambiguity” starting with former President Jimmy Carter who signed the 1979 Taiwan Relations Act, ending the 1954 Sino-American Mutual Defense Treaty signed by President Dwight D. Eisenhower. Biden’s public remarks endanger U.S. national security, potentially provoking China into taking action on Taiwan. Biden has no filter left, saying what comes to his mind, not recognizing consequences to U.S. national security. Pentagon officials, while loyal to Biden, must be shuttering thinking about a war with Communist China.
Pelley, whose employer CBS News, backs Biden and all Democrat candidates and causes, did everything possible to rehabilitate the president’s gaffes, happening so often that it’s impossible to cover them up. Asked whether U.S. soldiers would defend Taiwan, unlike Ukraine where the U.S. pays for government salaries and the war with the Russian Federation, Biden said , “yes,” leaving no room for any ambiguity. Biden doesn’t have a clue how the Pentagon would get the troops to fight a war with Mainland China, yet reveals his inability to contain his remarks. Biden antagonized Beijing May 23, admitting that the U.S. would defends Taiwan. Biden’s comments paved the way for 82-year-old House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) to visit Taipei Aug. 4, sending Beijing into a frenzy, sending fighter jets and warships into the Taiwan Strait letting the U.S. know that they’re playing with fire.
Chinese President Xi Jinping, 69, let Biden and Pelosi know that they’re stirring a hornet’s nest expressing support for Taiwan’s independence. Yet instead of following over 40-years of the Taiwan Relations Act, Biden, through his impulsiveness, puts the United States into a potential WW III, compounding threats from his proxy war against the Russian Federation. White House officials try to walk back Biden’s remarks, stating there ‘s been no change in U.S. foreign policy. “The president has said this before, including in Tokyo earlier this years. He also made clear then that our Taiwan policy hasn’t changed. That remains true,” said an unnamed White House spokesman. If Biden has now said twice that the U.S. will defend Taiwan with U.S. soldiers, he’s broken new ground, regardless of White House attempts to walk back his remarks. Biden has endangered U.S. national security.
In the same CBS interview, Pelley asked Binen whether he’s committed to running for a second term. “Sir, are you committed to running again, or are there certain conditions that have to be right,” Pelley asked Biden. “You say that it’s much too early to make that decision,” Pelley said. “I take it the decision has not been made in your head. “Look, my intention as I said to begin with is that I would run again,” Biden said. “But it’s just an intention. Bit is it a firm decision that I run again? That remains to be seen,” Biden said, opening the door that he might be a one-term president. Biden said while running against Trump in 2020 that he was committed to beating Trump, not necessarily running for two terms. In 2024 Biden would be 82-year-old, far older than any other president. As the oldest president in U.S. history, Pelley asked Biden about his fitness for office. “Watch me,” Biden said.
Democrats and the press blame Republicans questioning Biden’s fitness for office. Yet if you look at the U.S. economy and foreign policy, the country looks in dire straits. Democrat and press like to defend Biden heading into the Midterm elections hoping Democrats can hold power in the House and Senate. “If you think I don’t have the energy level or mental acuity, then, you know, that’s one thing. It’s another thing, you just watch and, you know keep my schedule . . .” Biden said, justifying his busy schedule but not answering the basic question whether or not he’s fit for duty. Judging by the mess in the U.S. economy and foreign policy have less that two years in office, it’s clear that Biden has made some catastrophic decisions, certainly in foreign policy. Going to war with the Russian Federation and close to war with China, shows that Biden has endangered U.S. national security.
Biden’s comments to Pelley bluffed his way through the interview with memorized talking points but when it came to making any sense, the interview showed the president’s incoherence. No matter how Democrats and the press cover for Biden, he’s not fit as commander-in-chief. Biden talks about his busy schedule but what does that have to do with his abysmal decision-making? Energy or restlessness has nothing to do with competent presidential decision—making. “I respect the fact that people would say, you know, ‘you’re old,’” Biden said. But I think it relates to how much energy you have and whether or not the job you’re doing is one consistent with what any person of any age would be able to do,” Biden said, Pelley asked Biden how he would assess his mental focus,” prompting an incoherent response. Pelley put on the record why Biden should resign immediately.
