The government needs this to happen so they can confiscate all China assets in the US. In return all US citizens lose their investments in China thus the new financial reset is easier to push threw. Pensions lost trillion when Russia retaliated over US sanctions.

Our last 2 bouts with China, (Korea and Vietnam), didn’t go so well for us.

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.

Just trying to recoup her losses on the chip industry insider trading.
She's there on personal business only.

She's checking on the factories her husband moved there from US Marianas and US Saipan creating devastating unemployment and crime.

Time to buy those 50 Megaton rated 1950's school desks for the house.

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......

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 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.

I agree, it was a stupid stunt and not worth the risk. She eventually has to return to the States and I'd bet the Chinese are canvasing the surrounding areas with fine tooth comb's.

Chinese leaders think and plan in terms of 100 year increments, they also have a well documented 4,000 year old history. So they can destroy anything they feel they need to, if it's in their own best interest, knowing they'll eventually restore it all back again. They seem very, very patient.

Our leaders think in terms of 90 day increments. They also can destroy anything they feel they need to, if it's in their own best interest, but they rarely ever restore what they damage. They just piss, moan and complain about it and then blame it all on everyone else. Not exactly a great way to influence the World in a positive manner.

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.

Really don’t see that changing soon. The US has a long history of sailing the fleet through the Straits of Taiwan.

The speaker is responsible for ensuring that the House passes legislation supported by the majority party. In pursuing this goal, the speaker may use their power to determine when each bill reaches the floor. They also chair the majority party's steering committee in the House.
She is not the ambassador of the UN to poke China about human rights or their interest in getting Taiwan back. Last I checked, Taiwan is not part of NATO. Old washed up hag is just poking the Panda. She has got to have an ego that put shame to DT's :p
Pelosi- 'hairy' (masculine plural). She has Italian heritage.

I can think of only one thing to add. Or detract? Into the stream of Common Sense. The irony of Freedom, on the Fly.

Circling the Battlefield. Godspeed

This is all a dick-swinging contest to distract you.

Nothing boosts an economy like a war…but China has way too many economic and domestic issues to wage war with a nuclear power IMHO
