Just hours ahead of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s planned trip to Asia, Chinese state media has threatened to shoot down her plane and U.S. military pilots escorting her.

The threat comes 24-hours after President Joe Biden spoke with Chinese President Xi Jinping for two hours on a call from the White House. The communist government’s readout of the conversation also included a threat in response to Pelosi’s planned trip to Taiwan.

Humor aside, that’s a Chinese declaration of war in effect. If world war 3 with the new axis starts, Biden will simply let the generals and their civilian intel offices do their work. These days, presidents are most often only symbolic commanders in chief, who sign off on whatever actions need to be taken according to military leaders.

“And we default on all of their debt and nationalize every piece of property they own in this country.”

Yup. And we deport all the ChiComs that are in the US. That’s how the game is played.

All companies in China belong to the state, with profits largely consumed by their military.

Pelosi says Xi look like Winnie The Poo. Probably can’t shoot straight either.

Look at the last part of your quote.

“If ineffective, then shoot them down.”

Do they still make that? And, Bosco: Remember Bosco?

As long as it gets Ukraine out of the headlines, what’s the downside with starting a West with China?

(the above is Neocon rationale, no doubt some here agree with it)

Gallows humor.

The ruling class has earned the disdain and ridicule, and there is nothing the people can do to change the path selected by the powerful, so might as well joke about ‘em.

They intend to kill us one way or another.

That would be an act of war. I don’t think the Chicoms need a war in order to take over.

Really. Their “State Media” = Chinese government.

It is an act of war.

This threat by the actual Chinese military is rumored to be true if we can believe the trashy Drudge Report type sources (somebody else go first, please).

What if this is like kidnapping cases in which the spouse was supposed to raise cash to free the other spouse but refused as they weren’t worth it? Danny DeVito and Bette Midler were in a movie like that (Ruthless People, 1986).

Chinese: So turn back, Americans. You have ten more minutes or you lose your valued Pelosi.

US: Uh, we’re having some problems with your transmission. We’ll get back to you tomorrow when we get our new replacement parts. Or maybe the day after.

Have a look at the last sentence in that quote again. “If ineffective, then shoot them down.”

“If US fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion. The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction. If ineffective, then shoot them down. https://t.co/V7LhrXgXoM

That’s an outright declaration of war


Yes it is. Biden is messing around with extreme danger to all of us.

Finally, something she could do that would benefit the country.

RE: humor aside, a declaration of war by Chinese....

And we don’t have a President. Or a Vice President.

Gee, thanks, Dem voters who don’t like mean tweets. And to Soros and the vote rigging crews and the media who cover up their fraud.

They are teasing us! And Russia supports them? Whats news about that? Thats like Mussolini supporting Hitler’s invasion of France. Besides, if you do One China (as we have embraced along with Russia) then the Government of China (The CCP) has every right to veto Nancy’s trip. It would be like the Governor of Texas inviting Putin to Austin over Biden’s objections. Get this though your heads—Russia and China are allies now. Expect them to support one another. When China invades Taiwan—their will be fueled by Russian Oil. If they get into trouble with the USN, The Russian Navy will be there to help them. If WW III Happens, and they win—Alaska will be given to Russia as a prize.
