White House struggles to insulate Biden’s China policy from Pelosi’s Taiwan trip
CNBC ^

Posted on 08/02/2022 5:32:17 AM PDT by FarCenter

The Biden White House has tried for weeks to convince Beijing and the world that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s expected visit to Taiwan says nothing about U.S. policy toward China or Taiwan.

Yet experts say that effort misses the point, because intra-party schisms in Washington are effectively meaningless to the rest of the world.

The fact that U.S. policy toward Taiwan is deliberately ambiguous has only made it more difficult for the White House to draw a distinction between what Pelosi is doing and what Biden is saying.

US Foreign policy is, apparently, set by the Speaker of the House. Or whoever pays the most.

That pretty well covers it...

The Pelosi trip is pretty clever for the Swamp (whatever the hell their goal might be).

Pelosi is pissing off Xi, but Xi and China own the White House and many in Congress and government.

How does China shoot down Pelosi without hurting their man Biden...and without shooting themselves in the foot?

In a shooting match, we can become fearful of what the enemy can do to us.

It’s good to remember that the enemy is fearful of what we can do to them.

Please watch this outstanding 2021 computer simulation of a South China Sea escalation of naval contacts ending with a USN carrier being sunk. It’s really superbly done, and will give you a feel for all the players in motion below, upon, and above the ocean on both sides.

“USA vs China: To Sink a Carrier”

886,551 views Premiered Jul 8, 2021

HypOps simulates a hypothetical clash between the United States and the People’s Liberation Army in the South China Sea. A FONOP gone bad leads to a JH-7 shootdown by an Arleigh Burke class destroyer. Tensions continues to escalate, with air battles erupting between American F/A-18 and Chinese J-11 and J16 fighter aircraft with BVR AIM-120 AMRAAMS versus Chinese PL-15 and PL-12 missiles. Hostilities will escalate to the point where China will launch YJ-83s, YJ-18s, YJ-12s and even DF-21D ant-ship ballistic cruise missiles against the AEGIS missile defense systems. Just how much will it take to sink an American carrier strike group?

The CCP are pretending to not know the message Nancy's taking to Taiwan: "You guys are on your own."

The carrier killer missiles and stuff are for the ultimatum Taiwan is about to get from Xi, the CCP and PLA/PLAN. Taiwan gets to choose the gold or the lead, except, problem is the gold is counterfeit.

America the brave will stand down in the face of it and it's done. My question is, who will be next?

Did they pack her $12-a-pint ice cream along?

What’s the purpose of her visit to Taiwan? Is there a stated purpose?

Instead of shooting her down, they should find a way to take her prisoner.
Then, perform an exorcism to extract the demon to use it for weaponization purposes.

If Biden’s handlers didn’t want Pelosi to go, she wouldn’t be going. So the big question here is why do they want her to go?

My guess is that the visit distracts from all the domestic problems that Slow Joe has caused.

I see that you've switched from posting pro-Russia justification diatribes on nearly all Russia/Ukraine threads to now sick fantasies about watching a US carrier being sunk on every China/Taiwan thread.

It is painfully obvious we have a '5th estate' operating here on FR, and what their agenda is.

Four sources said Pelosi was scheduled to meet a group of activists who are outspoken about China’s human rights record on Wednesday afternoon.
