Go Nancy!

Probably bad intentions - I mean, she is evil - but still good to see a high-level official visit the independent and free nation of Taiwan.

But Biden's blunder on this one... talk about projecting weakness. Sheesh.

Anyway, Go Nancy! Gotta call the wins when you see them.

I have been wondering the same thing.

But I only have 3.6k at the moment since I just bought some gear the other day.

I'd think it's obvious: posturing to China.

Look, America does not give a fuck about Taiwan. They're a tiny nothingburger of a country, and historically we've done a lot worse than just leave such countries to be gobbled up by a neighbor ... we've done the gobbling (eg. Hawaii).

What we give a fuck about is not letting China control that part of the world, and so we partner with Korea, Japan, and Taiwan (among others) to keep them in check. Pelosi is there to send a signal that the US is going to continue pursue that (globalist/imperialist) interest against China, no matter how much China whines and postures.

Biden's poll numbers and the upcoming election. Must have the population in fear in order to control them. War is a good way to do that.

Gingrich did it too.

Why is nacy posturing to china if the white house and military is tellign her not to?

You're saying that nacy, on her own, without anyone's consent, is postruing to CHINA even though that's officially not our stance?

Why on earth would that make sense?

Tripwire. Like armed troops still stationed on the NK border practicing target identification all day and all night.

Slow down, breath (and maybe use spellcheck). Do you really think Nanci freaking Pelosi, the most institutional of all institutional politicians, is singlehandedly trying to change US foreign policy?

It wouldn't. She's 100% pushing America's stance, and whether it's explicit or not, that stance is "don't let China control that region (in particular the sea there)".

Likewise, she undoubtedly discussed and planned the whole trip with the executive department, whatever they say publicly. This may come as a shock to you, but countries don't just announce their intentions on everything publicly [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

Because humans in the real world (unlike these forums) can handle not going to the extreme on every topic.

Do we want to thwart China's territorial ambitions? 100%, zero doubt. Do we also want cheap Chinese goods? 110%. Both things can be true at once.
