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.

Mao Zedong, the Chinese communist leader who coined the phrase. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun (Chinese: 枪杆子里面出政权; pinyin: Qiānggǎn zi lǐmiàn chū zhèngquán) is a phrase which was coined by Chinese communist leader Mao Zedong.

“ And we deport all the ChiComs that are in the US. ”

Doubtful. All it would take is one snowflake to claim is was racist and some liberal judge would stop it.
It is my opinion the fear of appearing racist is why the left only hates on Russia instead.

Meh, Pelosi will be safer flying to Taiwan than riding in the passenger seat of her husband’s car.

Agreed that we’d be much better situated with President Trump. Remember when he ordered the cruise missile strikes on the Russian aircraft in Syria? Between his sometimes crazy political speech and sane, positive actions, he’s sly as a fox.

But either way, in warfare, generals and intel and security offices run the show for the most part. Presidents sign stacks of papers and do as advised.

The definition of mixed feelings: seeing people’s plane go down in flames and realizing you will never see her forced to turn the speakers gavel over to Marjorie Taylor Greene.

There was an old bat named Pelosi
To Taiwan she sailed bellicosely
Like Helen pf Troy
Wanting our ships to deploy
Launching, she sank precociously!

"Mao Zedong, the Chinese communist leader who coined the phrase. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun..."

Yes. And the path from that gun to the Chinese consumer is far shorter with less deliberation than in the West.

The rumor I heard is that the chicoms will invade/capture Hawaii if Pelosi goes to Taiwan.

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

I saw that. I was responding to a specific comment by the FReeper: “Has the right” is not the same as “threatening to shoot them down.” The threat to shoot them down came later.
