The wicked witch of the west lands in Taiwan.

Can't tell if this is lunatic politicians playing nuclear chicken or a well-orchestrated exercise to feed propaganda to underlings in all countries involved.

No matter which, Milley is doubtless on the phone with his Chicom counterpart.
 
I believe both the Chinese and American economies are both teetering at the brink.

War would help politically (in theory) to unite the country behind their leader in "war". Distract from political issues at home.

Our old doctrine of fighting two major conflicts in two different areas of the globe has been unattainable for years now. We cannot fight both China and Russia in kinetic wars simultaneously without serious long term consequences.

It's not a matter of who "wins"... it's what happens in the years after the conflict and the rebuilding process that will determine how the world is shaped.

Although it would be very difficult for China to land amphibiously on the island of Taiwan, it's not impossible. T defenses may be modern and quality, but the land they are defending is very very small and once those anti ship/aircraft defenses are penetrated the Chinese mainland is only 80 miles over water at the closest point.

We can brag about projecting power all we want with carrier groups, but China would be fighting from LAND based operations. They can simply overwhelm with sheer quantity of missiles launched. Carrier groups need to be moving and avoid being found. Fighting China defending Taiwan they are at serious risk given the proximity to Chinese shores. Are we really ready and willing to launch sorties over Chinese territory/land? That would make it open season on the Chinese to attack American cities as well from a global perspective.

I firmly believe we MUST defend Taiwan. Not for democracy, but because like Israel being the largest US ally base in the Middle East, Taiwan is our largest ally directly between China and our shores. They are effectively a large military base less than 100 miles off the Chinese coast. To give up that kind of strategic advantage would be foolish.

We basically painted ourselves into a corner with Pelosi landing. If we did not go, then China claims victory in forcing us from visiting and would claim Taiwan as theirs with greater credibility. So the choice was taken out of our hands the moment it was announced.

BUT, they have all the cards in terms of if, when, why, and to what degree they respond to the aggrievance they would claim to suffer.

Their options are long in terms of which items to pick and choose off the menu of: full invasion, attacks from distance, naval blockade, limited insertion...

US and Japan are not going to keep it up indefinitely. Within 6 months we would be burning so much fuel and would need to rotate carrier groups. Japan's ability to defend Taiwan is limited. It's like a siege of Taiwan but China is right next door with all the resources it needs with easy access and the ability to move/ship anything it needs easily.

Hard to defend something when the enemy lives next door.

Any invasion/landing would likely occur in October

Gotta tell you, I'd be hard pressed to even give the smallest shit about her getting blown out of the sky by China. I mean, fuck China too, but still, that would generate about as much of a reaction out of me as if the 9/11 hijackers had just decided to fly the planes into the IRS headquarters and George Soros' vacation house.
 
Sherlock Shep Smith just now on his "place for the news" - (pp) Despite the threats associated with the Taiwan visit, Pelosi received nothing but embrace and a warm welcome.

No shit Sherlock.
 
This had to have been scripted in advance. I could even see both sides sacrificing a few "pawns" to generate domestic support.

Unless Pelosi has some terminal illness (and her kid lined up to take over), no way do they make good on their threat.

Theatre.
 
she’s probably making deals to enrich her personal wealth after she retires in january 2023. i suppose that’s as good a theory as anything else.
She is talking to the semiconductor foundry TSMC so that they suddenly suffer a crisis to increase the value of her holdings....and drinking....lots of drinking

She is obviously there to help Taiwan gain its independence from china permanently.
 
  • Haha
Reactions: BLEE
Chill out fellas, she's just going to work some deals with Mitch's wife's family.... no big deal..

Pauly Boy had some drugs in his system as well as alcohol, he was how you say FUCKED UP WATSED big time.
 
Or, simply another tax-payer funded vacation and a chance to play queen, before the midterms render her irrelevant.
 
October at the earliest. April at the latest. If something does occur.

The only two times of the year an invasion by sea (landing troops) is feasible for CCP China onto Taiwan.

Why is that?
 
This. Nobody is doing shit about Russia....... so it is a no down side to the PRC to do the same

Poll numbers for the Dims are in the shitter. Hence his whole thing was orchestrated for a domestic audience here in the US. You watch... come election time the Dims are going to be talking loudly about how they are tough on China etc.

It really has nothing at all to do with China or Taiwan but rather the Dims trying to save face and appear tough here at home. This is 110% political stunt.

I can go into the long drawn out history of Nancy in regards to China but that's the reason she was picked to go. For a long time she's basically been a 'human rights advocate' against the PRC (except when she can make a buck from them).

I do agree with this assessment and I saw that also.

The part that truly concerns me is that with the money (and other more disgusting things) that the Dims have directly tied to the Ukraine, they have shown the world they are weak.

It may get the PRC thinking that this is the time to act.
 
Sounds like someone just stepped on a turd so no one wants to meet and greet her anymore

Pelosi Arrives In Seoul, But South Korea's President Won't Meet With Her

While he had a pre-scheduled "holiday" which was announced in advance, there's been widespread speculation in the region that this was intentional (given weeks ago it was being reported she may go to Taiwan), so that Seoul can avoid bringing down China's wrath. Even Foreign Minister Park Jin happens to be out of the country - so there will be no Pelosi meeting with the nation's top diplomat either.:ROFLMAO:
 
Can we hope she exits the aircraft like that guy in North Carolina that's all over the news?
Oh, and WTF was that all about gotta be a back story??
 
wonder if she will make it back how funny would it be if Biden used this opportunity to take her out first before she has the chance to do the same to him . either death could be used as good political ploy to have under there belts to keep there party in line and planes fall into that big body of water all the time .
 
Lets see what they could do. Another bio-weapon attack or how about a massive cyber attack on the banking system.

I pick bio-weapon since nothing happened the first time and this time it won't be a leak but on purpose.
