So, as we all know, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is causing agida in the national media and China. China is threatening something something and the Administration is saying calm the fuck down. I am no political expert by a very long shot, but I can’t believe that there hasn’t been some coordination between Pelosi and Pres. Biden. China might not yet have gotten the message about what has happened when global terrorist Putin committed the war crime of invading Ukraine.
The NYTs: Live Updates: Pelosi Arrives in Taiwan, Setting Up High-Stakes Standoff With China The trip, the highest-level U.S. visit to the island since 1997, takes place in the face of serious objections from Beijing. Oooooh, Beijing has serious objections. Yeah, so do sane people about your treatment of the Uyghurs, aka genocide.
WaPo: Pelosi lands in Taiwan, defying Chinese warnings of forceful response. What forceful response? Are they going to kill her? Increase sanctions of some kind that are already, with TFG’s tariffs fucking their economy? Withdraw spies from their Embassy?
I honestly don’t know the “game” that is being played here but I do know that I trust Speaker Pelosi in Taiwan more than a bunch of GQPers in Moscow on July 4th.
Smarter people reside here in DKos so I’m interested in your opinions. Also, never buy flavored Jameson. It is a double mortal sin.
