[sunnyvol79]

Biden found his balls!
Pelosi had them all along.

I will give the old witch a little credit she got some big balls

She laid a wreath in Tiananmen Square a long time ago. She's not easily scared

Edit: was a banner

Why? She knew the Chinese weren't going to shoot down one of their biggest foreign assets. This was all theater.

Oh jeez.

 

[el Jeffe]

Oh jeez.

Well, he ain’t wrong!

I want her to go because we can't allow the Chinese to dictate American affairs.

And there's the chance they will blow the Old Seahag out of the air....fingers crossed.

 

[Velo Vol]

That alone isn't a sufficient justification for the trip, though.

What level of support is she authorized to convey?

You want WW 3?

 

[Doberman]

I cannot have a non biased approach to this situation. I have some literal skin in the game.

However, Pelosi is a POS crook, and any reason for her landing in Taiwan, or any other Asian country, is guaranteed to be self serving.

My gut is this visit has already been negotiated between Biden admin and China. No way her dumbass would assume actual risk of a world war. Will be interesting to find out what we had to give up in order for her to have her moment of bravado.

There was no risk, there was no quid pro quo between the US and China, it was all theater to make Pelosi look tough.

Was it all just theater when Trump went to visit Kim Jong?

Were there "threats" that they would shoot AF1 down?

But yes, a lot of it was theater.

You’re probably right. It would make sense considering we are China’s piggy bank.

Not everything is a conspiracy.

Government communications arent always handled by the brightest.

And sometimes things are exactly what they seem to be.

We just gave China a well deserved middle finger.

People assume...there would be a WW3 if fighting starts. Does anyone truly want to fire upon the ONLY country to have had actually used Nuclear weapons during a war?

United States has been the villain and hero of the world for the past 80 years...

I'm not sure we've played the hero wrt foreign policy much since ww2 ended. I think it's just easier to think of ourselves like that since some are worse

This. Give me a freaking break throwing any applause to her.

 

[Sandman 423]

Is this any different than the Chinese visiting Cuba and other countries in Latin America?

 

[05_never_again]

Is this any different than the Chinese visiting Cuba and other countries in Latin America?

Yeah - we don't consider Cuba or other countries in Latin America to be part of the United States.

 

[Sandman 423]

Yeah - we don't consider Cuba or other countries in Latin America to be part of the United States.

So we shouldn't visit South Korea either?

I don't understand the comparison...China does not consider South Korea to be part of China.
