'To save the lives of innocent civilians around the world, U.S. citizens must demand that our government employ true discussion, dialogue and diplomacy, instead of war-mongering.'
We've seen this before. The U.S. creates a situation, digs in its heels and makes ultimatums—and tens of thousands die.
Instead of slowing down and backing off, the Biden administration is led by a very aggressive Secretary of State Antony Blinken and a go-along Secretary of Defense Lloyd Austin. President Joe Biden seems to have given a dangerous green light to escalation on all fronts at the same time. On the other side of the world, in the Asia-Pacific region, President Xi Jinping of China is responding to the U.S."pivot to Asia" that has withered the 50-year U.S. policy of diplomatic recognition of the People's Republic of China—while continuing economic and military support of Taiwan. The"One China" policy was begun decades ago in the 1970s under the Nixon administration.
U.S. diplomatic missions to Taiwan that had not happened in 50 years began under the Trump administration and now have the highest-ranking U.S. government officials in five decades making highly publicized trips to Taiwan as a stick to poke in the eye of the Chinese government.
