I’m not against Pelosi going to Taiwan.
I’m just against her coming back.
counterpoint: Taiwan is a very crowded place, and there is plenty of space and lots of perfectly adequate cetaceans in the ocean
There was an onion article like “China threatens the USA with letting pelosi return safely” lol
why is she even going to Taiwan? I thought Speaker was mostly a domestic role and the executive managed/handled all foreign affairs.
To pick out which semiconductor company to buy shares in before they get a us gov contract.
She's in the news for insider trading again so she needs to distract everyone by playing with matches in a nuclear powder keg.
Since Epstein and Maxwell died in chokey, she needs an alternative hook-up.
> China shoots down plane
> Xi approval skyrockets in polling
> Xi starts a third party
> Wins a trifecta
> calls constitutional convention
And you all doubted the power of electoral politics.
I don't particularly want to die in WW3 but it would be really funny if this happened
WW3 start because one corrupt old witch want to stage photo ops and distract the nation from her inside stock trading.
Literally the only reason I don't want them to is because I don't want nuclear war, but I would love for her to fucking die
Wasn't the guy who said that some massive chud who then got killed for his oppression
Pros: Nancy Pelosi will finally be slain
Cons: It will also kill the majority of the world's population
:geordi-no: Dying in the Climate Wars 20 years from now fighting over a puddle of dirty water
:geordi-yes: Watching Nancy Pelosi getting blown up on youtube until nuclear fire cleanses us from the planet.
On that note do you think living within 20 minutes of an international airport means I'm dead when the bombs drop
I don't remember where but I saw a map of probable first strike targets in the US and basically the lower 48 get painted so :shrug-outta-hecks:
I'd assume being in the immediate blast radius would be more merciful than being on the outskirts somewhere and dying of radiation poisoning anyways.

She's gonna read that poem about zionist settlers driving Palestinians out of their home again. It's her favorite.
:via-getty: haha look i've stolen her tiny desk
:some-controversy: pfffffff, do you even surface-to-air missile?
I'm desperately trying to suppress my inner sicko gremlin that just wants to see Pelosi's plane turned into a fireball
they’ll be seen as weak.
By whom? Deranged liberals and chuds that already think China is this cartoon villain anyway?
I am now convinced china doesn't care about taiwan. The just make a show of fussing over it so america causes problems there where they can keep it isolated
I wouldn't say they don't care. Even if you look at it strictly materially China taking back Taiwan would mean they control a huge chunk of the world's chip supply.
Also it has high strategic value presumably, having a whole ass island full of hostile military is probably very uncomfortable for them.
I wonder if china doesn't have more control there than we think.
It would fit china's history to just let the US build a military base there and then just keep it when the US gets bored
