It is Today's Laugh of the Day!!!!
Biden admin threatens response if China militarizes Solomon Islands President Joe Biden's administration on Friday threatened to "respond accordingly" if China establishes a permanent military base in the Solomon Islands after the two nations signed a security agreement last month that will allow China to maintain armed police and resupply its visiting warships. "If steps are taken to establish a de facto permanent military presence, power-projection capabilities, or a military installation, the delegation noted that the United States would then have significant concerns and respond accordingly," the White House said in a statement on Friday. The statement came while announcing senior administration officials' visit to the Solomon Islands where they met with Prime Minister Manasseh Sogavare and "engaged in substantial discussion" about the agreement signed with China. "Solomon Islands representatives indicated that the agreement had solely domestic applications, but the U.S. delegation noted there are potential regional security implications of the accord, including for the United States and its allies and partners," the statement added. A leaked draft of the China-Solomon Islands deal ahead of its signing stipulated that China would be permitted to send security personnel armed with pistols, rifles, machine guns and a sniper rifle to the Solomon Islands after riots broke out in Honiara near the Chinese embassy last year. The draft also said China would be allowed to "make ship visits to, carry out logistical replenishment in, and have stopover and transition in Solomon Islands" Although a final draft of the agreement has not yet been released, Solomon Islands officials said they had accepted China's terms without objection because they "could not guarantee the safety of the [Chinese] Embassy and staff."

Hard to say.  |

This is terrifying.
For those who need a history lesson, in 1942 the Japanese committed their finest troops to Guadalcanal because it was a dagger to the throat of the supply lines between the US and Australia. The Japanese bled themselves dry trying to hold it while we fought pitch naval battles including the largest at sea defeat in USN history at Savo where we lost 4 heavy cruisers with a 5th damaged in one night. We fought them in the Solomons for a year to break their offensive and end the threat to Australia. And now the fucking Solomons accepts a briefcase of cash from Fuck Emperor Xi? AUKUS alliance failure! Meanwhile NZ fingers their twat? NZ the protector of Oceania? This is catastrophic. Chinese missiles, radars, sigint, elint, and recon assets in the Solomons would allow them to strike every US and Australian base in the Pacific with theater ballistic missiles instead of ICBMs, including Pearl Harbor, and to attack our carriers with DF-21s outside the 1st island chain (South China Sea) where they might have been safe. It also gives them a forward base for both their attack and missile subs. ABSOLUTE CATASTROPHE! And all we had to do was supply a bigger briefcase of cash and send an in person delegate. Thanks Joe Biden!!!

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By PeepEater: Remind me again why letting Japan keep China and letting Germany wipe out Communist Russia was bad? Even though PRC revisionist History says the US was part of Britain's Opium War against the Chinese populace, even before John Hay was Secretary of State and issued the "Open Door" letters I and II and it became US policy, the US saw Chinese territorial integrity as an essential to US Foreign Policy and Trade. The point of the "Open Door" policy was so we, the US, wouldn't have to keep going through pain in the ass Europeans...everywhere. The US was ascending while the Europeans europeanish. Letting the Imperial Japanese keep China would have required a reversal in policy that no one then made the case for. As for Germany vs the USSR, for some genius reason Hitler declared War on the US on 11DEC41. I'm sure he thought that quite the brilliant 4D chess move and was probably surprised when we didn't surrender on the 12th. Hard to say what that idiot was thinking, but that possibility of letting the 3rd Reich and the USSR taking each other out, was made moot by Germany's Declaration of War. |
