Pelosi has no official duties that would take her to Taiwan. The Chinese have been pretty relaxed about Trump people going there in the very recent past. They would have a lot to lose in a military confrontation with the US. Ditto us vs them. Do the Chinese know about something the Deep State is doing in Taiwan? Have they just been emboldened by our Afghanistan humiliation and our current enmeshment in the Ukraine mess? Does the Deep State want war with China? Why else would they be shipping their Speaker of the House into danger on a 21st century Lusitania?

Oh Please, Pelosi is safer on that plane than she is in the passenger seat of her husband’s car.

Booze for 10. She’s the only passenger on the flight.

China would invade, but it would not be a large cross-strait landing. It would be the insertion of special ops units for clandestine action, sabotage and mayhem. They may stay there as a headache for the Taiwanese, or be extricated once they’ve done what they had set out to do. Then, China would initiate a full air and sea blockade, and wait for nature to take its course.

Oh, cool. Maybe she can watch those exercises from an AWACS.

Sure. Hollywood is just jam-packed with Edgar Cayce types.

Do you know of China’s ability to refuel in the air?

Do you know if the airwing on their lastest carrier have finished quals?

Every world war we’ve been placed in, have been by Democrat residents. Wilson, Roosevelt, now Biden.

And these frigging Bolsheviks call Republicans warmongers.

The blockade could be followed up by a biological attack further “justifying” the blockade.

I think Nancy will go to Taiwan, after all she’s got way too much invested in it and after all she’s the girl who no priest can say no communion too. But I’ll bet what she does is show upstairs in the dead of night all stealthy flown in on some private aircraft with a photo op and then come back here and basically stick her tongue out at the Chinese

If the US were smart, which we are not we would start a brain drain out of Taiwan.
