If you believed western mass media have been brazenly aggressive with their anti-China propaganda, wait til you see The Hill’s appalling brand-new viewpoint piece entitled “America should get ready for war with China over Taiwan“.
“China’s huge investment in individuals’s Liberation Army (PLA) might reveal China is preparing to basically change the status quo and getting ready for possible war with the United States over Taiwan,” the piece begins. “To discourage China, the United States must quickly build up its forces in the Pacific, continue to strengthen military alliances in the area to make sure access to bases in time of conflict, and accelerate shipments of bought military devices to Taiwan.”
The post goes on to narrate about Taiwan’s importance on the international chessboard and why we should all anticipate a full-scale invasion by Beijing quite soon, casually discusses a direct military dispute between 2 nuclear-armed countries like it’s no big deal, and gets in touch with the Biden administration to “articulate to the American people why Taiwan’s defense is important to the United States.”

Then at the very bottom of the short article you get to the part that truly matters: the information about the author.
“David Sauer is a retired senior CIA officer who served as chief of station and deputy chief of station in multiple abroad command positions in East Asia and South Asia.“
Ahh, fine.
The CIA utilized to need to penetrate the media. Now the CIA is the media.
Apparently this “retired” senior CIA officer has actually been spending his “retirement” producing war propaganda short articles for The Hill with titles like “The US can not permit China to believe it will abandon Taiwan” and “The next US president has a tall order: Keeping China in check“, along with functioning as a specialist sourcefor virulent anti-China propaganda ragThe Date Times.
Would you like to know what this big brave warrior appears like? Would you like to see a photo of this magnificent hero who has no fear of leading all of us into a 3rd world war?
Now that’s the face of a guy who ‘d be first to volunteer for responsibility on the cutting edge in defense of what he believes in. You look at that male and can’t assist but envision him charging into Taipei bleeding red white and blue firing an M4 carbine for flexibility and democracy. He’s not simply speaking about sending our kids and daughters into this war, no siree.
Why is it that all the worst warmongering story supervisors are always weird-looking little geeks who plainly wouldn’t know how to hold their own cocks, much less a gun? Were they bullied so bad in school that they simply need to act out their bottled-up hostility by assisting to incinerate families in the worldwide south over petroleum or something? What the hell is incorrect with these freaks?
Anyone who supports the concept of the US and its allies entering into a third world war against a nuclear-armed nation to identify who governs an island off the Chinese mainland is an enemy of mankind. Such a war could easily eliminate tens of millions of people if engaged with complete commitment, which might become billions at any time if it went nuclear. I hope Beijing never introduces an unprovoked attack on Taiwan (not likely), and I hope the US does not provoke it into doing so (even more likely), but if all this brinkmanship spins out of control which does certainly take place then participating in such a war to stop it would benefit nobody but a couple of sociopaths in Washington, Langley and Arlington. And quite potentially not even them.
Contrary to what propagandists like Sauer keep indicating, the US is not even treaty-boundto defend Taiwan militarily and hasn’t been considering that 1979 when the just such treaty was annulled throughout Washington’s campaign to coax Beijing far from the Soviet Union. Yet since of their steadily intensifying propaganda campaign, for the very first time ever a majority of Americans surveyed on whether they ‘d support going to war with China over Taiwan now reportedly state yes.

At finest all these controls are tailored towards manufacturing permission for putting significantly increased military resources into the United States empire’s ongoing pivot to Asia, which just by itself will always include myriad justifications against the Chinese federal government which can quickly escalate into war at any time. These people are playing games with the lives of every living organism on this world, and they are suffering no repercussions for doing so.
And now Moscow and Beijing are moving further into a military collaborationthat seems to be getting closer by the year in response to aggressions from the United States and its client states, which, I dunno, I’m no historian but perhaps mightbe cause for alarm when you’ve got world powers splittinginto 2 significantly hostile international alliances. Could that result in something bad? It seems like maybe that could result in something bad.
Cornered animals are dangerous, especially ones with fangs and claws. Dying empires are dangerous, especially ones with nuclear weapons. We’re being aggressively propagandized into granting remarkably harmful programs tailored towards preserving US unipolar hegemony in defiance of the natural movement we are seeing toward a multipolar world. We are seeing signs everywhere that the chauffeurs of empire are preparing to do some really, extremely insane things in order to stop that motion and keep their supremacy. The reality that they are still increase their propaganda project is concerning, to say the least.
