The arsonist tag-team of Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin are busily striking sparks into Asian tinderboxes. The Russian dictator’s current visit to North Korea comes amidst relentless provocations by Kim Jong-un against the South that could precipitate conflict there at any time. 

 

Meanwhile, Communist China is provoking a fight with the Philippines, clearly testing our treaty commitment to defend that key ally.

 

Should either, let alone both, of these acts of strategic arson precipitate actual conflagrations, the CCP may calculate that – together with ongoing ones in Ukraine and the Middle East – the time is right to seize Taiwan. If so, count on thousands of Chinese military personnel Joe Biden has let into this country lighting us up, as well.

 

An invaluable webinar at 2 p.m. ET today will examine what we must do about all this. Join us at presentdangerchina.org.
