Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) is leading a a six-member group of U.S. lawmakers on a two-day visit to Taiwan on Thursday, a visit that has sparked anger from Beijing.
Graham along with Sen. Bob Menendez (D-N.J.), the chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee, and Sens. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Rob Portman (R-Ohio) and Ben Sasse (R-Neb.) and Rep. Ronny Jackson (R-Texas) landed in Taiwan’s Songshan Airport in Taipei on Friday.
Graham tweeted that the people of Taiwan are “great allies of the United States” and called Taiwan “a beacon of freedom in a troubled region.”
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian in Beijing denounced the visit on Thursday, saying “China is firmly opposed to any form of official exchanges between the U.S. and Taiwan.”

A test EMP would be interesting
Save some missiles for the Taiwanese.
Ladyboys convention?
Linda talks a lot. This trip is right up his ally.
This is the worst thing that could happen. He’ll release his inner ghost of John McCain.
If we can’t get in the Ukraine v Russia war, damn it, we’ll help get a Chinamen war going!...
McCain and this fag would go to war with Narnia if possible.
what could go wrong...
Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Don’t forget graham was in the US delegation that led the congressional junket to Ukraine (along with sen no name)
If the visit by that clutch of back-bench globalist slime isn’t a preliminary death knell for Taiwan, I’d be surprised...
yay - more warring for other countries.
I think half the pols have financial interest and the rest just like to watch shit burn. Probably a mix of both for a chosen few.
Exactly - whenever McCain and Grahmn showed up you can pretty much bet war and conflict soon to follow. Same with Victoria Nuland. I these people are sent out there it’s not to make peace.
Graham leads US delegation to Taiwan

Weren’t Graham and McCain part of a chickenhawk delegation to Ukraine a few years before the !@#$ hit the fan over there?
They were also in Iran/Iraq... There is a photo of McCain with the ‘caliph’ of ISIS (Or ISIL, as Obama liked to call them) standing right behind him.
The mess this Ukraine thing has set off isn’t a patch on what would happen should China try something with Taiwan. That is the really big peril for the global economy. Ukraine and Europe, to the extent it is affected, would matter nothing vs the disaster waiting for the entire East Asian trade. That’s everything from Japan to Indonesia.
The trouble with China isn’t that it can be provoked, but that its been openly slavering for total power in East Asia for many years, and more so lately. The only thing keeping it away is cost-benefit analysis.
It less than funny that the same GOP Senators rattling sabers over the inviolability of the borders of other countries have worked to keep ours open for 30 years.
Bush League Republicans = Assistant Democrat
They are assisting Democrats to a permanent majority.
Right. The equivalent of the Mob Kiss.
Another small country aggravating a powerful neighbor in the false belief that the United States will cover their bets.
Ukraine, Taiwan, and Israel, all doomed by State Department intrigue, making false promises that if they fight Russia, China, or Iran that we will come to the rescue.
Not going to happen.
Linda is smelling the air and testing the waters for the war he’s been waiting on in great anticipation for decades.
They never sound tough in places we have real interests.
