The Chinese are Coming!

Chinese sabre-rattling around Taiwan.

The Chinese People's Liberation Army sent 38 warplanes and 9 navy vessels around Taiwan, between 6 a.m. Tuesday to 6 a.m. Wednesday. From Wednesday morning until noon time, the military flew another 30 planes, among which included J-10 and J-16 fighters.

Of these, 32 crossed the midline of the Taiwan Strait, an unofficial boundary that had been considered a buffer between the island and mainland. Later on Wednesday, another 23 planes crossed the midline.

The Chinese are probably trying to provoke an incident with the U.S. Also, this tests the resolve of what they think is a spineless President. If Joe Biden were a Marvel superhero his superpower would be a rubber spine.

Frankly the Chinese would be stupid to NOT take action over Taiwan now. They will never get a better opportunity, with Joe Biden mired in almost every quagmire he can dip his toe into, and with the U.S. military powerless from political correctness and out of ammunition thanks to our giving it all to Ukraine. Now is the time.

What response will Mr. Biden make? We've seen how he handles such crisis in the past. He cuts and runs.

Weakness begets war. Biden is weak as water.
