The ballsy thing to do by Pelosi. Might even be the right thing to do. But she’s only doing it to cover up the bad press for her hubby’s DUI and privilege encounter.

I said I hold no esteem for Pelosi, but for folks who want to ridicule her, you do know who her father and brother are, right?

Also to prop up the Democrats in November, and it appears to be working.

Also to propel her boy, Newsom, to the 2024 nomination.

Makes me grin. I know many of them are bloody Leftards, but...damn, they sure did have the ability to hit me squarely in the funny bone!

Leftards were different back then. Cleese is a lefty but at least he is attacking Woke-ism.

These map thingies with oceans and rivers and mountains and deserts and things are really confusing.

China has never forgotten that Japan ruled Taiwan beginning in 1895 and used it as an unsinkable aircraft carrier for the invasion of China.
We may ignore this aspect, but China considers Taiwan to be a "go to war" red line, just as Russia did with Ukraine being invited to join NATO.

You sure got that right! Any fool could see this coming.

So this begs the question, what are the US "fools" trying to do with this nonsense? Best I can come up with is "our fools " are moving on to create another disaster to cover up the current disaster -- Ukraine.

The Ruskies are winning in Ukraine and "our fools" need to cover up that debacle before sh#*t hits the proverbial fan.

The same fools that led us to disaster and humiliation in A-stan, and who set up the Ukraine for invasion by talking up Ukraine joining NATO, right up until the invasion, are now the fools that are running Taiwan policy.

It’s like teaching monkeys how to light matches and then sending them into a gunpowder factory.

Agreed. I just thought Putin would be smart enough to realize he could eaisly roll Biden and get everything he wanted without actually invading Ukraine. China is definitely not kidding and they see a once in lifetime opportunity to act militarily while Biden is in office

focusing on our real adversary was long overdue.

Yes, it was. I don't know, but I doubt, if that was the purpose of her visit, but it's a good tangent point anyway.

Cooperation on returning illegal immigrants, criminal investigations, transnational crime, illegal drugs and climate change will be suspended, the ministry said.

Illegal drugs. They gonna stop their fentanyl shipments?

Climate change. Maybe they'll stop making solar panels?

Well, this is a win. Damn! Pelosi actually, finally did something that benefits the US? And, it is even possible that no family member got cash, too?

The world is ending.

I love it!

It still begs the big question, though. WHY? Even a fool has more than a couple of brain cells firing.

WHY are we being led off of one cliff after another? Sadly, I think the answer goes beyond "fools." Don't you?

1. it ia symbolic ome way because they don’t really intend to really cooperate on climate change or anything else.

2. It is not symbolic in that it shows how far the regime is wllling to go right now to appear to the ignorant world it strong and resolute - global geopolitical PR. The regime knows that “talking” is importamnt to the Biden regime, so for now they intend not to talk. They are playing a “Trump” card - now leave their adversaries guessing.
