Via AAN:

Joe Biden vowed that America was willing to go to war in order to defend Taiwan on Thursday night during a CNN Townhall event.

As Fox News reports:

President Joe Biden vowed to protect Taiwan from any Chinese incursion during a CNN town hall on Thursday night.

“Are you saying the US would come to Taiwan’s defense if China were to attack?” CNN’s Anderson Cooper asked Biden to which the president responded, “Yes, we have a commitment to do that.”

In spite of Biden’s rather blunt statement, the US is in fact not under treaty obligation to defend Taiwan:

The Taiwan Relations Act to which the United States is currently party does not guarantee the U.S. will engage militarily if China attacks Taiwan, which it has claimed for decades is sovereign Chinese territory, but states that the United States “will make available to Taiwan such defense articles and defense services in such quantity as may be necessary to enable Taiwan to maintain self-sufficient defense capabilities.”

U.S. presidents have pursued a policy of “strategic ambiguity” so that China would not know exactly what the U.S. response would be to an attack.

A Representative for the White House was later forced to walk back Biden’s statements:

The creep has already gone to war – with the American people and our Constitution. He’s a disgusting fraud and shouldn’t be in our White House. He should be dragged out in chains and our REAL President inaugurated.

Biden is an incompetent fool, and he has others who are pulling his strings. We don’t know for sure who, but its most likely the Obama holdovers led by Obama. Biden will destroy this COUNTRY if something isn’t done to stop his radical spending for giving away FREE STUFF

The President and the military better get their act together NOW instead of hemming and hawing with their fingers up their butt, when China invades Taiwan. How stupid can you get?

There are donkeys and there are those that choose jackasses. I prefer the latter when talking about FJB.

He uses more of his memory saving all the different smells he sniffs off of little girls. Just in case, anyone wonders where Hunter has learned to sniff the white powder.

I’m sure that someone is gonna get paid by China to delay a response, or plan on using the same tactic used in Afghanistan that will surely spell doom to the people of Taiwan.

With the Biden’s in control, it wouldn’t surprise me if they get paid to hold off in helping to defend Taiwan.
