Biden/Xi transcript

[Major Tom]

China released their conversation same day it happened. Biden administration still has not released the entire transcript. Why??

How did TR put it?

Oh yeah.....

"Speak softly and carry a big stick."

If you want to use CCP press releases as a personal source of news, go ahead. I personally think the stuff that the Chinese leave OUT of their curated version is more important. And all that really matters is that they get the message. We don't need to see it in print.

[Major Tom]

Well, wait until you see the democrat's release! There will be a lot of blacked out lines, not a 2 hour transcript and of course more lies!
BTW, togor, I don't use the CCP press releases! And yes I would like to see the democrats version of the transcript!

[togor]

It should be clear by now that this White House isn't playing to the grandstands. Nor should they tip their hand in public. This is not that kind of war.

Thought you were going to say "playing with a full deck."

I assume you pray at night that they are. This isn't fun-and-games.

Worth a refresher on the Chinese concept of "face". Goes almost without saying that had Biden layed down the law with the Chinese in the call and woofed to the press about it afterwards, then nothing good could come from the exercise.

Important to watch what China does in the days/weeks/months to come.

No praying needed. It is what it is, and there for everyone to see.

The ship is leaking, but it's bad form to say what everyone can see. If we just ignore it, the water will drain out.

Delaware joe wouldn't dare "lay down the law" to the Chinese or Russia because he has been compromised by both! Each gave the bidens lots and lots of money and "presents"! And, it is biden's war in Ukraine because of his lack of leadership to put Russia on alert with 'real' threats!
BTW, Ukraine is NOT a democracy! It is a country run by a dictator who controls all media outlets and outlaws all his political opponets! Why does the biden administration go along with what he's doing? Because they want the same controls here in the U.S.! Because of slo joe we are on the brink of WW3. A war that they said Trump would start!
Mean while in Delaware, joe goes on a bicycle ride and walks his dog on the beach!
