She'll probably save it for the last stop on her trip.
Or not go and say she did.
Yeah I would expect lots of doubts and speculation about if she really went at all.
Hence the announcement when she got back, calling it an unplanned stop.
This administration has openly lied about events and what was or wasn't said, or openly called a liar for saying so, by their global counterpart, after saying so.
Probably more so than any other President or Administration ever. I don't even think any President has been accused of not telling the truth about meetings, by other heads of State like Biden and Harris has had so many times.
If China really gets fed up with US bullshit, they'll just terminate all exports to the United States. This is just another distraction. China can fuck the United States within 6 months by doing nothing.
probably wouldn't even take that long.
I agree, but 6 months, the country would be in disarray. The only reason Pelosi is even saying she'll go to Taiwan is to create problems. That's all politicians do.
hoodathunk?
And China would be even more fucked. They need our money to import resources. That's why the situation won't change for the foreseeable future. Our cheap Chinese products would go away, but most Americans would be fine without them. Would be a change, but we have way less to lose by decoupling from China. They couldn't keep the lights on or food on the table without the US with their massive population base over there.
Knowing her, she'll probably show up there with a gift case of "cup of noodles".
The Woo says that tentative political agreements have already been struck for Taiwan rapprochement, with some kind of long term contract a la Hong Kong's previous treaty for various kinds of independent governance and leadership allowed. They're all gangsters, including Taiwan, so a truce would be in order. Taiwanese Royalists might be miffed, but they don't have a prayer against the mainland, anyway.
If that is true, all of the Taiwan WWIII crap is theater, to what particular end, only the murky political insiders might know.
No they don't. 5 trillion dollars of toilet paper were created out of the Fed's ass for the "pandemic".

Look around you. What isn't Chinese? The device you're reading this one? What about the lightbulb you're using? Your clothing? Your chair? Your rug?
The only reason China doesn't fuck us, is that it's not convenient for them at this point in time.
WookieMan says
They don't need either food or energy from us.

Thats actually funny...what else would american couch potatoes do if they didnt have shopping for cheap chinese shit to entertain them
Except when Trump fucked up ZTE almost into bankruptcy with sanctions and promised to do the same to Huawei and the rest, it was Xi who came crawling on his belly and begging for mercy, not the other way around. Why didn't they "terminate all the exports to the US" and "show who's boss" then?
Of course, Pelosi or her body double won't be actually making any deals or decisions, any more than Biden Actor does.
(in my best whiny nasal "richwicks" voice) Taiwan is a corrupt country run by gay globohomo nazi clowns.
I never said that about Ukraine.
I said the US overthrew Ukraine in 2014 and eastern Ukraine didn't accept the coup. This immediately started a civil war.
If the US didn't overthrow Ukraine in 2014, the war would never have happened.
Don't strawman me
Agreed! So why is everyone Asshurt at Russia?
If Canada and Mexico were being manipulated by Russia and China the way the EU and US establishment is shit stirring in Ukraine, and I were King around here.
The first fucking thing I would do, is annex all of Canada, and Extend the state of Texas to include Mexico. Then I would disappear every Liberal whining and bitching about it, without due process, to never be seen again.
You can't humor these evil Commie Liberal shit stirring bastards.
Shall we invade Cuba then? Overthtown by Russia - check. Controlled by Russia - check. Right next door - check.
Would be fun to watch "richwicks" wiggle out of this one.
I'm NOT "asshurt at Russia". Russia has to be thinking, why did the US foverthrow my neighbor and strategic ally's government, then place a bunch of NATO weaponry in here? That's not an UNREASONABLE thing to think about. Why didn't they just end the conflict with the Donbass? The US media now LIES to the public and says it never happened, that it's all a fiction.
Every fucking thing out of government and "mainstream media" - everything is a lie. Everything. Find that Russian collusion yet? Survive the Pandemic? Get your "Safe and effective" vaccine? Well, inflation is temporary isn't it? I'm so tired of people that STILL listen to these assholes after all this. Whatever the US government is actually doing in Ukraine, you can fucking be absolutely certain they are lying about it.
richwicks says
Haha - if you were king, you'd just be murdered by the real government.
Russia has repeatedly said that extending NATO to its borders does not concern it. Want to hear it right from Putin's mouth? I can dig up a video for you, but it shouldn't be hard to find his statements on official Russian news agencies sites.
And the only "NATO weapons" there prior to Russia build-up for this war last fall were 160 tubes of Javeling ATGMs given by Trump. Are160 tubes of ATGMs an "existential threat" to a nuclear power? How?
PS. I'll spare you the search effort:
We did try to invade Cuba. Bay of Pigs ring a bell?
SHOULD the Cuban Missile Crisis have happened? Yes - but as always we only get 1/2 the story. The United States was placing nuclear weaponry in Turkey before the Cuban Missile Crisis. When the USSR was caught (maybe intentionally caught?) one of the conditions of withdrawal was the US would withdraw their nuclear weaponry from Turkey.
Bet you never knew that.
My main complaint is people are mostly full of shit. For SOME reason now that Russia is no longer communist, the US is in constant conflict with them - constantly sanctioning them, lying about them, endless stupid CHILDISH propaganda. I'm just sick of it.
But the US establishment LOVES China, you know, that communist nation.
The US wasn't at conflict with the USSR because it was communist. It's not at conflict with Cuba because it is communist. It's just another fucking lie. I'm so sick of it, and the reason people don't recognize it as a lie, is because they have been trained LIKE RATS, to reject critical thinking. The reasons we're given for our government doing EVERYTHING is false.
Remember when we had to bomb Libya to prevent Qaddafi from causing a humanitarian crisis, then left it in civil war with slavery markets? The US didn't bomb Libya over humanitarian reasons. It's not bombing Syria over humanitarian reasons. It didn't bomb Iraq over that, it didn't bomb Afghanistan over 9/11 or binLaden.
Don't you ever get sick of being lied to - or do really not realize you're lied to? Every fucking goddamned time? How can you not see the obvious? Do you see the obvious but you're too much of a coward to admit the OBVIOUS?
History is history. Shall we do it NOW? And with real forces. Checks all the requisite boxes as correctly stated above.
Except the FSB operative who infiltrated into Slovyansk (Igor Strelkov aka Girkin) in March with a bunch of Russian guerilla and started the shooting war has openly testified that locals didn't want anything to do with it and they had to be conscripted and othervise coersed into participation. Later - in June-Aug - Russian troops were captured well inside Ukrainian territory and taken POW and then exchanged for Ukrainian POW. So "civil war" is another fake.
Aren't they a sovereign country? If Russia invaded Cuba, Mexico, or Canada we should definitely stop them, just as I would expect Russia to stop us if we invaded one of their neighbors or started a coup or something.
I don't really know enough about Ukraine to have an educated opinion, but I do know that the US government has been spreading some evil. We still don't know what Hunter was doing at Burisma though we suspect he was working for the "big guy".
They are. So is Ukraine. But richwicks is very keen on Russia's supposed rights to invade Ukraine but somehow against invasion of Cuba. He also used to be very anti-war, specifically anti Iraq war (because Putin was against it) but now he's very pro-war, and especially likes the war against Ukraine (because, again, Putin is for it).
Is Cuba hosting Russian weapons and BSL5 labs because Russia is expanding the Warsaw Pact?
Nope, but NATO is being expanded. NATO hosts American weapons, and NATO has moved in BSL5 labs into Ukraine. The US gets to pay for it all.
Why the FUCK am I paying for this bullshit, why the FUCK do you support paying for this bullshit? What? We don't have enough fucking BSL5 labs? Why are they in goddamned Ukraine, and not the United States? I am so fucking tired of people bending over to get fucked and be like "what's the matter, you don't like being fucked?"
People like you hurt the entire nation by having an OBVIOUSLY criminal group of sociopaths free reign to do what ever stupid fucking bullshit they want to do in foreign countries using our military and our money, We couldn't afford 13 billion dollars to end illegal immigration between Mexico and the United States. Too expensive!! - but $40 billion to Ukraine, well no problem.
I'm tired of it.
Our own fucking government was doing gain of function research on coronaviruses in Wuhan, literally blocks away from the "we market" that, sars-cov2-19 originated from. In all likelihood, because our government is a fucking sociopath compulsive liar about every FUCKING thing, they made the sars-cov2-19 virus and released it.
Those are the fucking assholes you have lined up behind to support. Fuck you. No matter how much they fuck you, or me, or your neighbor, your wife, your country men, foreign nations, you will ALWAYS defend them. What a set of principles.
Of course they do: they have plenty of Russian ATGMs, waay more than 160 Jav tubes Ukraine had prior the war. And Russian IAD. And Russian fighter planes. And since Russia has no problem with NATO expansion, what does (long defunct) Warsaw Pact has to do with anything? Let's drop this red herring, shall we?
Why do you want to invade Cuba?Eric Holder says
I don't think Rich is for war. What I hear him saying is Ukraine is none of our business.
