missile campaign to bring the island down very quickly kill many of its leaders, put special operation forces in as kill squads to kill elites and get surrender in a few days or do what is less likely is major amphibious assault to take the island itself. upgunning taiwan that this administration is doing. give them credit for that and reaching out to taiwan is very important. taiwan, when china looks at it, eric, they have to see that taiwan is also going to impose cost on whatever military action they take. they can t defeat them like the ukrainians can t defeat the russians but impose costs and give time for the united states and allies to respond. so what we re doing in arming taiwan and bolstering taiwan s morale and determination is very important.
olympics. at least 12 cases total. the city plans to test millions of residents every day this week as leaders double down on their zero tolerance policy for dealing with covid. eric: eric: beijing threatening military action over our support for taiwan. ambassador to the u.s. saying if the taiwanese authorities emboldened by the united states keep going down the road for independence it will most likely involve china and the united states, the two big countries, in a military conflict. general jack keane joins us now. general, it sounds chilling or is it just more of beijing s bluster? it s a bit of an overstatement what u.s. policy is. we recognize that there are two one china and two systems.

we don t talk about taiwan having independence. the president of taiwan doesn t talk about it either because she believes she is already a democratic state and has independence. i think what this is really about certainly is trying to take advantage of the situation that the russians have imposed on the united states and all that focus that this is getting and i believe it is no accident that since this administration came into power, eric, china, russia and iran have all upped their aggression in their regions. and certainly what has taken place with taiwan as you know in the introduction has been very significant in terms of violating particularly their air defense zone and civil society that they are undermining. i don t believe that any military action is imminent. we have the olympics coming.
