(Update: China threatens to shoot down plane if Pelosi visits Taiwan)
The US military has begun developing contingency plans for any incident that may occur if House Speaker Nancy Pelosi follows through with her reported plan to travel to Taiwan next month — after President Biden said last week they believed it would be better for her to stay home.
The Associated Press, citing multiple US officials, reported that if Pelosi (D-Calif.) travels to Taiwan, the Pentagon will step up its movement of forces and other assets in the Indo-Pacific region.
Fighter jets, ships, surveillance assets and other military systems would likely be used to create buffer zones securing Pelosi’s flight to the island nation. Security on the ground would also be bolstered to prevent any incidents while the speaker is in the country.
The officials also told the AP that if Pelosi follows through with the trip, the US would need to provide rescue capabilities – such as helicopters posted on nearby ships and ready for departure at a moment’s notice.

“Not worth a war over Pelosi.”
I doubt the current US leaders can convince enough Americans to fight for a corrupt government.

Massive media propaganda here.
It shouldn’t surprise any of us that this witch wants to get us into WWIII.
The Socialist Democrats are going DOWN with the ship come November 2nd. She’ll be out of a job. She needs to leave a, ‘Legacy.’
Death and destruction seems fitting...
He can claim he is just visiting his wife's business associates.
Just imagine the carbon footprint this self aggrandizing bitch will generate...disgraceful.
Nancy should be so proud; hers will be the face that launched a thousand ships-——warships.
Normally I would double dog dare the Chinese to shoot down Pelosi’s plane but they would probably eat the dog. I like dogs.
Yea man! Our transvestites can kick the butts of their billion men. We can out-woke them.
If they shot down Pelosi it would be “Friendly Fire”.
Will be the face that SANK a thousand ships
“Not worth a war over Pelosi.”
Well one might want to be on the other side if this was all it was about !!
Those contingency plans have been in place for years. When my so. Was in the Navy(‘00 to’04) they were dunk g multiple computerized scenarios for an invasion of Taiwan by China. He has often stated that Taiwan will not be a push over.
It's not about Pelosi. It's about sending a message to China that we will not be intimidated nor will we allow China to intimidate our allies and our trading partners. China needs to know they will face the same treatment as Russia and they will be economically isolated if they threaten Taiwan and TSCM.
It’s a bluff - Crazy Nancy should leave as scheduled and bring her buddies too
What is the reason for her trip?
Probly need to ensure her safety.....she bites the big one and vodka futures may never recover.
