06 Sekai Report: Law of Unintended Consequences / Biden on Taiwan, Media on Biden

oday’s podcast starts with a discussion of the Law of Unintended Consequences.  There is a pithy statement from the Old Testament that exemplifies this principle: “For they sow the wind, and they shall reap the whirlwind.”  (Hosea 8:7) We also discussed reaction to Biden’s statement about Taiwan (PRC vs. ROC), which I think was a bit sensationalized.  Perhaps it wasn’t the best, but it also wasn’t that bad, and I agree with Gingrich that it should not have been walked back.  Coincidentally, today is the anniversary of Tiananmen, which is not mentioned at all on the mainland, but used to be commemorated in Hong Kong.  I do not talk about that event in this podcast, because I have addressed it elsewhere.
