WTF is she thinking?
Just trying to recoup her losses on the chip industry insider trading.I don’t know how to think about this one. On the surface, it appears to be a giant FU to China for supporting the Rooskies. Seems they made their point. Now we can all go back to our neutral corners and stew a bit.
I’m wondering if this is a wag the dog operation for both sides? Joe needs to look tough at home, XI needs a distraction from the financial meltdown they are having. Both sides Sabre rattling for political points at home? IDK...
Or maybe we get nuked today......

Since it's China would it be considered friendly fire?I vote Aunt Nancy takes a tour of the west side of the island, staring directly into the sunset as the live fire drills commence......
I watched a piece last night where they spoke to a retired Military Colonel for the US who has extensive knowledge of US/China military capabilities. He said that right now is NOT a good time for the US to be poking the Panda. The US state of readiness is not where it needs to be. Our military is spread to thin with interests all over the globe. In addition, military personnel numbers are low with many quitting as a result of piss poor policy like the jab. Recruitment is a serious issue as well, down 40% for the fiscal year 2022 which ends in Sept. Young people are looking elsewhere, and even military families are less likely to recommend military service to their children.,
China has a large geological advantage in the area near Taiwan. They have been preparing for a conflict there for decades amassing the worlds largest navy in addition to man made islands or (unsinkable aircraft carriers), as dubbed by the US military. They also have a logistical advantage there which would make any conflict very difficult and costly for the US and her allies. China see's Ukraine as a wake up call. They don't want NATO influence in Taiwan any more than Russia wanted it in Ukraine. China needs to be taken seriously. Sending that sorry bag of pickled vodka shit over there right now was not necessary, nor was it worth the risk.
Net, net, a lot of saber rattling by both sides primarily meant for domestic audiences. I really don’t see any other material impact. China depends on exports, the US has an appetite for cheap goods, and of course chips from Taiwan.Neutral?
So you think that backing the comedian money launderer to the tune of >$50,000,000,000.00 (with more on the way) in less than a year to facilitate a war with Russia, and then have the drunken hag fly over and flip China the bird for not agreeing is neutrality in some way?
You think that’s wise?
World wars have been started for far less.
In my best Bill Burr voice “oh yeah, let’s just fuck over the worlds other 2 biggest superpowers so the big guy can keep his revenue stream open in a country that is one step above Bulgaria…”
Lunacy.
I can think of only one thing to add. Or detract? Into the stream of Common Sense. The irony of Freedom, on the Fly.Neutral?
