A press conference of two defense heads/Carlos Pueblo

 A press conference of two defense heads/Carlos Pueblo

There was a Russian missile flying over to Poland and killed two Polish civilian. The U.S. Defense  heads must hold a press conference due to that Poland is a member of the NATO, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. An attack of a NATO member means the attack of the entire Organization. The world media are all excited to see what the U.S. will respond.

Secretary Austin says that the U.S. is still investigating the fact of the incident. H tends to believe what the Polish counterpart's understanding that the missile is from Ukraine's anti-missile defense. Chairman Milly's statement is identical that his officers are working on it. I admire both of them of their political wisdom and not blaming Russian immediately. It is unfortunate and the world powers must be keeping cool. Russians are not reasonable and they are paying heavy price in Ukraine now. Let the weapons keep flowing into Ukraine and grind the meat until Russian's surrender in Ukraine.

I pay more attention to the answers of reporters questions about Chinese invasion to Taiwan on the second half of the press conference. I like Milly's answers and analysis about Chinese intention toward Taiwan. On the next day at Taiwanese talk shows that pundits have already noticed Milly's answers. They figure out Milly are not giving any face saving to Chinese Xi and his propaganda. He doesn't believe the U.S. will allow China to challenge the U.S. to be the number one nation in the world among many fields. Chinese Liberation Army are not ready to invade Taiwan, not prepared and have no experience yet to fulfill the task. It is not wise for Xi to make such decision. I like the conclusion which will save  lot of efforts and eventually save life. He didn't advise Chinese on the other fields such as the economic environment piority, etc. He reminds Chinese that Chinese Army are peasants in major and have not combat experience since 1979. He meant the fell invasion of Vietnam.

Austin was a retired general and Milly is a general still on duty. They both help Biden to pull out of Afghanistan to have free hands to deal with a new conflict of the world. Russian Putin doesn't know what he has kicked a still wall this time in Ukraine.
