One, its not a "rehersal of an invasion of Taiwan" and two, Russia would never help China invade Taiwan in the first place

Well thank goodness we have a sensible diplomat going into the UN - one who gets along well with everyone, John Bolton.

(tongue so far in cheek it's polked through to the outside...)


I think Bush's appropriate response to this is, of course, to INVADE SYRIA AND IRAN! Because they have something to do with this, right?

Well Mr. Ledeen sure thinks it's a great idea to invade, damn the means:

quote:

Ledeen, NRO March 17, 2005 "The Fire in Iran" ... "If you are victorious," Machiavelli says in his uncompromising way, "people will always judge the means you used to have been appropriate." Syria and Iran are tottering, and if they fall, the terror network will break into relatively impotent shards that we will be able to destroy. Forget about diplomacy, this is war. Every day we hear about plans to attack the United States directly, and every day more Americans die in Iraq. Is it not too clever by half to resort to cunning diplomacy at such a time? Is it not immoral to leave American fighting men and women in harm's way an hour longer than is absolutely necessary? The fires of freedom are burning all over Iran, Syria, and Lebanon ... Don't stand back and admire the flames." http://www.nationalreview.com/ledee...00503170753.asp

One, no one has agreed to it.

Two, why would Russia help anyways?

I think you may have missed the point of the article.
It's the very thought of the China's even suggesting Taiwan when it's a touchy subject to begin with, let alone the location where they want to do the exercises...
The fact Russia is even in the article is moot.

Errr, I'll wait for a source other than the Drudge Report on this. The Russians still haven't nuked us and sought shelter in their underground metropolis yet, like he said would happen years ago, along with many other false stories. Russia has absolutely nothing to gain from an invasion of Taiwan.

The headline of the article clearly says China and Russia are going to reherse the invasion of Taiwan which is complete nonsense
