More Threats

Late last week, communist China's ambassador to the United States said that if we continue to stand with Taiwan, then communist China and the United States are headed to war.  Ambassadors are supposed to be diplomatic, but this was a very undiplomatic public threat of war. 

As I read his remarks, I was reminded about what happened when President Trump's tough statements on communist China caused concern among China's leadership. 

General Mark "Thoroughly Modern" Milley called his colleagues in the Chinese communist military – you know, the people who intend to replace us as the world's superpower – to reassure them that they had nothing to worry about.  Milley told his communist colleagues that if we were going to war, he would give Beijing a heads-up. 

So, I'm wondering if anyone in Beijing gave Milley a courtesy call in recent days.  Did they tell him that the Chinese ambassador's remarks were not to be taken seriously, that they were only meant for domestic consumption back in China?  I strongly suspect that no such call was made. 

But if Milley's counterpart in Beijing did call him, it was probably to tell Gen. Milley that we had better pay attention to what the ambassador said.  The Chinese communists are serious about dominating the world.

Too many American elites seem to value their relationships with the communist Chinese more than they value our country and our freedom. 

General Milley is not the only one who values his ties to Chinese elites.  We now know that Doctors Anthony Fauci and Francis Collins wanted to suppress the Wuhan lab leak theory because it would damage their relationships with Chinese communist scientists. 

As we have said before, COVID not only brought death to the United States, it also affected the ability of our elites to think straight, and it infected progressive politicians and bureaucrats with outrageous totalitarian impulses.
