unbelievably moronic. Ive yet to hear a reason for going that isn't basically to just literally piss off the chinese. Failing empire just flailing around. As if conditions weren't bad enough here already, i'm sure shutting off all the treat lines is the move
Ive yet to hear a reason for going that isn’t basically to just literally piss off the chinese.
That's because there are no other reasons. There's absolutely nothing that can be done by going there in person that could not be done in a fucking phone call. It's just pure provocation.
But hey, China is obviously the aggressor here, yellow man bad, 69 billion dead Yoghurts, etc.

That's the US foreign policy playbook. The exact same thing happened in Ukraine where the US and Allies infringed upon Russian red line interests until the Russians reacted with military force. This allowed the US and NATO to paint Russia as the aggressors.
Ofc, if they pull this shit with China they'll also have to grapple with having no manufactured goods in addition to no gas, no oil, and no fertilizer or food.
dumbass americans sowing: China can’t tell us what to do!!! fuck yea :sicko-yes:
dumbass americans reaping a complete shut down of our supply lines: what?! no treats! WHERE ARE THE TREATS! :sicko-no:
Literally 0 articles even say why she's fucking going. What is the PURPOSE. Who is she meeting with, what is she hoping to gain? It's literally just provocation
I think this is just the Democrats specifically trying to (weakly) hit back for China not playing in Biden's reindeer games w/r/t Russian sanctions.
this is a disgustingly bad idea so of course the US ruling class are going to do it
if this doesn’t lead to ww3 there is gonna be hilarious footage and quotes out of this
can still be hilarious if it leads to world war three.
The circumstances surrounding the assassination of Archduke Ferdinand are still pretty fucking funny imo.
I remember watching a video on it. Don't remember what it is though.
if they ever make a serious bio pic, they need to have yakety sax playing the whole time.
I would be hella surprised if there was anything other than a rude flyby.
Texas Republican and senior member of the House foreign affairs committee, Michael McCaul, and Democrat Anna Eshoo... told NBC on Wednesday they had been invited to Taiwan by Pelosi. Both declined due to a scheduling conflict.
Sorry Nancy, I'm too busy staying alive to follow you into being Franz Ferdinand-ed.
i didn't have a strong opinion before, but im suddenly in favor of this trip.
Grasping hands meme with leftists, Donald Trump, and Xi Jin Ping all wanting Pelosi dead.
yeah, i mean, im all for killing nazis, grandpa taught me overlord and all, but if we don't get to it until after they take out pelosi and biden.... :shrug-outta-hecks:
Who's ready to hear who's going to get tough on China this Presidential election?
If and when this escalates I fully expect Tsai Ing-Wen to get airlifted to the US and get a vogue photoshoot and a WaPo column while legions of Americans riot because we destroyed literally all of our manufacturing to do this.
god dammit, i mean, yay her not being alive anymore, but it's so fucking stupid it can't not happen in this time-line.
Think it'll make libs rethink siding with chuds against China?
:doubt:
eh; idgaf about capitalist china (RIP mao, you crazy problematic well intentioned bastard) so it's not something I think about, but the gas showers and mass cremations wont stop them from siding with the CHUDs on 'anti leftist' and anti queer issues, libs REALLY like the CHUDs. so probably not? but again, i haven't thought about it much.
I know we can't have anything nice in this timine but I want china to do a standard covid screen on her after she lands and just diagnose her with dimentia then just send her back as mentally unfit to hold negotiations
Girlbossing your way into a global war. Good morning. Sunday morning. Might not get a monday!
Because it's a thorn in China's side & where most computer chips are made
According to reddit it's because "they put us in a position where we can't back down". I saw that repeated ad nauseam
I know the “Please Xi liberate my people” thing is a joke but I would be so happy to live in a Chinese occupied US. I genuinely do wish the Chinese would liberate us
I'll be right there with you, pointing out which little business tyrants trying to pretent they didn't have bootlicker stickers on their f150.
Good luck, there are only like 1400 naturalized Chinese citizens. It's incredibly rare.
