主流媒体开始置疑现总统的心智能力… The Confusing Mr. Biden The President’s town hall performance is cause for concern. By The Editorial Board Oct. 22, 2021 6:54 pm ET White House handlers shield President Biden from the press as much as possible, and Thursday’s town hall on CNN shows why. Even with a friendly audience and softball questions, Mr. Biden’s performance revealed why so many Americans are losing confidence in his Presidency. One big problem is that Mr. Biden often doesn’t seem to know what he’s talking about. Take rising gas prices that are a growing public concern. Mr. Biden blamed the OPEC cartel for not producing more oil, but then he said the answer is “ultimately . . . investing in renewable energy.” Most cars still run on gasoline, not solar or wind power. Electric cars remain impractical for most Americans. The way to reduce gas prices is to produce more oil to increase the supply. Mr. Biden wouldn’t have to plead with OPEC to produce more if he weren’t working so hard to limit U.S. oil production. How about the supply-chain bottlenecks contributing to shortages and inflation? Mr. Biden blamed Covid and employers who won’t pay enough to attract workers. But employers are bidding up wages nearly across the economy and they still can’t fill the more than 10 million job openings nationwide. Asked if he’d call in the National Guard to address the shortage of truckers, Mr. Biden said he would. But the deployment of the Guard is actually controlled by Governors, as the White House later clarified. Mr. Biden’s confusion extended to foreign policy, which is supposed to be his strength. Regarding Taiwan—a crucial issue with China—Mr. Biden misstated U.S. policy. Asked “can you vow to protect Taiwan,” Mr. Biden said “yes.” CNN anchor Anderson Cooper must have figured this was news, because he gave Mr. Biden another chance: “So are you saying that the United States would come to Taiwan’s defense if—” Mr. Biden: “Yes.” Mr. Cooper: —“China attacked?” Mr. Biden: “Yes, we have a commitment to do that.” The actual U.S. policy toward Taiwan is “strategic ambiguity” about U.S. intentions. The Taiwan Relations Act commits the U.S. to help Taiwan defend itself but does not include a NATO-like commitment to go to war to defend the island democracy. Many people think the U.S. should make such a commitment explicit so Beijing doesn’t miscalculate and invade the island. Was Mr. Biden announcing a change in U.S. policy? Apparently not, because the White House soon walked back Mr. Biden’s words. Strategic ambiguity lives, or perhaps we should say strategic confusion in the case of Mr. Biden. You have to wonder what the hard men in Beijing think of this performance. Does the fast White House retreat from Mr. Biden’s words mean the U.S. doesn’t intend to defend Taiwan? What is U.S. policy? Wars have started amid such mixed signals to adversaries. We take no pleasure in pointing this out, since the U.S. needs a President who can handle the strains of the job. Mr. Biden was never Demosthenes, and all Presidents stumble in speech. But Mr. Biden’s frequent public confusion about the major issues of the day is a reason for the growing public concern.
政策没变的意思是美国一直以来的政策是协防台湾。看看台湾关系法。
美国从来没有说支持台湾独立，但是台湾受入侵，美国会协防。
那你说网友干吗要拥护那个不那么友善的“外国政府”？
是的，同意你这句 一直很奇怪，大家一直是在想象台湾人的想法 按道理，在美国大家都能接触到台湾人啊。年轻一代台湾人都是开放党禁以后成长起来的，根本不知道什么是统一，更不用说为什么了
那不是新上任了一个四星上将吗，美军这么人才济济，那就切磋一下呗
我倒觉得不是维护谁，而是这个就是个伪命题，类似于关公战秦琼 20年之内，台湾就是不统不独不武，保持现状，所有别的假设都是打嘴炮 20年之后，谁也不知道
得了吧，岩里哪里敢和日本统一？岩里一辈子只想给日本当🐶
台湾关系法只说了提供台湾武器，如果发生战争会“grave concern”。从没提过出兵
蒋伪员长说了啊，攘外必先安内
出兵不是更好吗，看看世界第一的海军到底几斤几两
比起统一不统一，独裁专治变成习朝鲜对普通人来说重要的太多了。小人物那管得了统一不统一，管屁事。
之前港独也闹的挺欢的,以为后面有西方殖民者撑腰，可以使劲闹
还西方殖民着，你脑袋里装的是啥啊？
那就更要拿回台湾，打土豪分土地啊
这不在和你聊天吗，脑袋里装的当然是你了
Make America Great Again!
说到你主人你就要出来咬人了，他们自己都说自己是殖民者，你有脑袋吗？
pence上台你选吗？biden再继续瞌睡，民主党下次肯定没戏
anyone but Trump! haha
香港当年是殖民地，这都不知道
股市连trump时期都不如，就知道隔空喊话升级矛盾。喜欢演戏去混好莱坞算了。我都怀疑他那时做副总统是不是也就当个摆设
台湾要是回归中国，中国的国力会大增吧？加上台湾又是盟友，所以美国应该不会坐视不管
应该的事情多了去了。应该很快控制住疫情的，应该帮助库尔德人的，应该击败塔利班的，应该基础设施建设的很好的，哪一个不应该呢？
大增个毛，除非师出有名，说实话土工就是弱，洗衣粉的idea都找不出来。
擦，原来拜登要割台湾韭菜？
舔的真TM恶心
李登辉为台湾人设计的出路就是当日本的殖民地
殖民历史不都早结束了吧 回归都24年了
海华连国内家都没得回吧 毕竟入籍了就没签证。。
RINO和民主党是一样的，不知道你到底想要什么
并没有结束，殖民主义仍然在进行，只是换了一种形式，不过本质上仍是换汤不换药。现在的殖民主义，叫新殖民主义

梧桐之后，全世界都看明白了中国的军事科技实力，国家的动员能力，像西方殖民者，都是些欺软怕硬之辈，等他们明白了中国比他们更强，就会前倨后恭，美华在美国的地位比油太还高，美华又怎么会回不了中国。中国统一，是全世界华人的福音，也是🐸民的福音，从此不用做人质做炮灰，好好做人不好吗
omg 翻墙真可怕 美华不用梧桐 已经没得回中国一年半了
