China's threatening response to House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's possible trip to Taiwan indicates the communists could be eyeing an invasion of the island sooner than had been expected.

That belief follows Chinese President Xi Jinping on Thursday warning President Joe Biden not to "play with fire" over Taiwan, Axios reported, citing a Chinese readout of a phone call between the two leaders.

Even The Associated Press reported that Xi's tough language suggested Chinese leaders might believe Washington didn't understand the seriousness of previous warnings about Taiwan.

We'd just pay the seven dollar ransom (that's half a billion in Chink bucks) and she'd be back to hurting America.

Didn’t Nanzi chicken out on her last trip by suddenly testing positive for Covid only days before she was scheduled to leave? Chinks made a similar threat then too.

They would NEVER do that. They know she's much more valuable to them doing her work in Washington DC, bankrupting the nation, destroying us with wokeism, and dividing Americans against each other.

The Chinese won’t let their window of opportunity (i.e., a weak, feeble, unpopular and compromised president bogged down in the Ukrainian mess) pass without moving against Taiwan.

Just a matter of when, not if.

Taiwan needs a nuclear deterrent yesterday.

Mobile medium range ballistic nukes
Land, plane, boat cruise missiles
3-4 subs with cruise missiles
