Biden’s promise to defend Taiwan says a lot about America’s view of China

Good article, thanks. I was a big fan of the Bush Family back in the day. Looking back at it I realized the Bushes are globalists, and that isn’t necessarily a bad thing if taken in the correct context. It took me a long time to understand why I liked H. W. Bush but not his sons. The WW2 Generation and some of us Boomers see the value in a healthy world economy, but when push comes to shove and the welfare of our people is at stake, we need to protect our home folks. That’s the difference between the generations, the older ones know where to draw that line to protect our people. It’s experience in life that provides the knowledge where that line is, it can’t be taught in any school/college, certainly not being a lifelong politician isolated from the struggles of everyday life of our people.

My interpretation of the sons thinking is that they believe in Globalism and honestly think when these Communist and Socialist Nations see the advantage of working together, that they will work with us honestly and sit around the campfire singing Kumbaya. They won’t. They will take any advantage for their people they can from technology to money. Our honest Republicans and Democrats just think we’ll show them a little more how Globalism is good, and they will come around to our thinking. Our dishonest Republicans and Democrats just want to cement their power for life, that is their drug of choice (be in power over others).

What the newer generations thinks is: “Hey shouldn’t everyone be equal? Isn’t that just fair?” They just can’t understand with their limited world view that Communism and Socialism works to “control all” and “serve those that are in power”. They don’t believe it until they are dead and in the gutter like all the millions of people that have been killed by Communism and Socialism throughout world history. I guess that about sums it up.

Wow! My wife is right, I am long winded. I woke up early this morning with nothing to do except bore you here. Sorry.

SFC (Join to see) - Lol. No doubt your wife is right!
However at times long-winded is good<smile> . . . like your insightful comment.
Nothing to be sorry about.

I hadn't considered the generational difference - but have certainly noticed a difference between GHW and his kids. I think your observation is spot on - and says a lot about the difference between our WWII, many of their Boomer kids, and way too many of the Grandkids and Greatgrands.
Drawing the line really is about experience isn't it - knowing when a line needs be drawn, where to draw the line, and how so that it is not impossible to communicate civilly about differences.

SGT Mary G. - You put the icing on the top.

President Biden does like to brag a lot. When he gets called on a fact during his bragging, he gets angry and unpredictable.

One only needs to look at Afghanistan to know that.
