The CCP Is Not ”Competing” with Us, It’s at War

President Biden finally spoke to the nation yesterday after two weeks of disorderly conduct by his administration regarding the Chinese spy balloon and other, as-yet unidentified aerial objects. It wasn’t very illuminating, other than to impress on us again that we’re in “competition” with the Chinese Communist Party – ignoring the fact that the CCP is, and has long been, at war with America.

That balloon’s protracted focus on our intercontinental missile bases prompted our Committee on the Present Danger: China to convene a dramatic webinar yesterday. It examined whether the Chinese Communists think they can fight and win a nuclear war with us. Unfortunately, they have been relentlessly preparing for decades to have such an option with a view, at a minimum, to coercing our surrender.

 

What’s needed is a crash effort to enhance deterrence, not more appeasing “dialogue” with our mortal enemy.
