Well now that their number one asset is gone they can be sure to avoid collateral damage. Probably paid Nancy to do it so they could use her visit as a pretext.
She probably came with an offer, submit to the democrat party and commit to trillions in bribes over the next decade and become a puppet cut out state for soros woke money laundering schemes or submit to china
China won't invade. Taiwan is an insane fortress island. You can destroy Taiwan, but you can't conquer it via invasion and they will never submit and there's plenty of rumors they have suicide switches for any valuable infrastructure so victory means a prize of rubble. If China wants Taiwan, they have to nuke it and then they still have nothing.
They have a habit of sending the women to do the dirty work, remember Kammy went to Ukraine and announced the NATO induction days prior to Putins invasion.
She's been pretty anti-CCP since 89. It's one of those weird things when somehow a leftist gets something right. Her visit shat all over China. They won't do shit.
The Chinese have been practicing asymmetrical warfare for a long time. Alot of it is economic to weaken the US and there is also alot of social instability to enhance their dominance. They also have been lobbying over many years in our goverment for special status. They own many companys and have stakes in others. For sure they have bribed many in goverment and private sector for huge profits off the backs of slave labor.
This. I don't think most people understand the Chinese tactics. They play a very very long game and most of their work is done insidiously. However, the one major Achilles Heel they have is food production. If other countries got together and stopped exporting food to China their starving people would be our biggest allies.
Bingo, but now they are pals with Russia and Russia has gas and oil as well as grain reserves. China doesn't care about its people as long as they don't rebel and overthrow their goverment. It would not hesitate to kill millions as it has done before...think Mao purges of the past.
When it comes to the location, of course, there is a reason only the island(s) were NOT defeated by the commies back then. It's much easier to defend an island, of course.
But they lost already politically because theie gov is US puppet gov and US gov is China's puppet gov. So there is not much left to defend if you have been infiltrated and your goverment is china's puppet gov by proxy.
I think the mask thing is more of a fashion statement in Taiwan. I know Korea and Japan have been wearing masks prior to covid for fashion. However 99% of China wore masks pre-covid because of smog.
Was going to say this. I had several foreign transfer students in my school previously that were Asian, and always wore a mask when they were sick, and for other reasons, all pre covid. Must be a cultural thing
Correct. Taiwan is pretty frikkin based. They were warning everyone about the man-made CCP virus long before anyone else. With direct, and specific language. They give China the middle finger more than anyone else. They know Chyna is asshoe. But I digress, they have strict let controls because they’ve been hit hard by China a few times before, SARS being the most recent. Millions of our sheep would have been saved if this wasn’t all intentional where Fauci did everything in his power to allow it to spread, and we listened to them instead of him. But yeah, they wear their masks to fight China, our libs wear their masks to salute their comrades.
This is all deliberate from the Democrats. I wouldn’t even be surprised if Xi personally invited Pelosi to Taiwan.
China has waited decades to take Taiwan, but did not amidst US deterrence. Then you finally get Biden- China’s once-in-a-century golden window of opportunity. A president so thoroughly compromised, he sold them our SPR oil and covered up the Wuhan Lab Leak.
The entire point is to provoke a conflict that Biden will allow China to win.
The reason for her visit becomes clearer. 1. Appear to be supporting Taiwan so she can make more money on the chips they produce. 2. At the same time give the Chinese a reason to intimidate, maybe invade Taiwan.
The people of Taiwan have pelosi to thank. Make her live there, why does he get to try to start a war with another country and come back here to her gates mansion?
I have a slightly different take on all of this. I think China wants war, and so do we. We’re performing maneuvers just provocative enough to justify China aggressing, while looking innocent on our side. The same thing happened with Russia and Ukraine. The script is playing out in a completely predictable manner so far.
The last time we had a World War a new World Order was established from the ruins. And it’ll likely be so bad the majority of our population will own nothing and be happy with that.
We are at war but it is not the conventional way, it is political and economic to weaken us and make us depend on China for basic goods. Examples like computer chips, computers,phones, durable goods like washing machines, refrigerators. Look around your house to see China's impact on your life. They suckered us in with cheap goods and destroyed many industries that couldn't compete.
I think it is about to become conventional. In my mind, what you’re describing is the result of the Globalist mentality that we can stop all war by making every country economically reliant on the other. And for a while it worked. But now every country is decoupling, and every country is about to go to shit. And I think that’s because every country has been given no choice. Russia and China’s demographics are about to collapse. The USA is on the cusp of Civil War. Every world power has become corrupt and is rotting. Globalists are now taking the Schumpeterian approach. Everything is going to get flattened so these ghouls can “Build Back Better”.
China is laughably weak on offense as they lack any meaningful numbers of transport or logistics ships and have almost no refueling capability. Their planes also have massive logistics and repair issues. They are a massive paper Tiger when it comes to offense
And then you get to the crux.
The silicon factories. Taiwan controls 100% of the top of the line silicon chip manufacturing in the smallest size nanometers. That's not a typo, it's literally 100%. These chips are used from everything from the phone you got last week, to massive military hardware of both China and America.
Taiwan would destroy these factories if they were being conquered
This would create a economic collapse that makes this one seem like a fucking joke. Imagine a world where China, US and Europe can't make any new military equipment that's top of the line or consumer electronics go Unmanufactured for 2 years. China's entire economy would collapse overnight causing an actual revolution.
It's not as simple as "oh we can just build one here". It takes 2 years to build a plant and sadly, America is BEHIND Taiwan in R&D.
She speaks of political prisoners and all the while she and the commies have Americans locked up as political prisoners because they dared to protest a corrupt election.
Pooh Bear is mad, the old drunken hag didn't back down.
They filled her full of Dutch courage, landed that bitch, and she went out to karaoke for an hour and left. She did manage a hot pot on the way back to AF Tito.
Also, China has 20% youth unemployment, a shrinking population, an aging population with no retirement funds, immense private debts, widespread poverty, chronic food shortages, and dependency on importing food and fuel.
China has a rapidly aging population with no way to provide for themselves in their old age. There is no equivalent to a 401k or social security (except for government workers.) Tradition dictates that the young take care of their parents, but there simply aren't enough young people to do that (thanks single child policy!) And many of the young are either unable to find a "suitable" job, refuse to work (lie flat) or simply mooch off of their parents well into their thirties ("parasite singles"). Many middle aged Chinese tried to invest for their futures in real estate, but that bubble is in jeopardy now. Many Chinese took out mortgages for houses that never got built!
There is a small chance that China takes some aggressive act out of desperation, but that would only intensify these other problems as young able-bodied soldiers die, leaving the aging parents with no one to care for them.
She thinks this will distract us from the fact that her insider trading moose knuckle licker hubs injured people in a car accident and they changed up the judge to some insider. Mark it down
I'm so sick of hearing all the Sabre rattling. If they were ever going to do anything, it would have been after pelosi called their bluff. Now they're the laughing stock of the planet. They bowed to pelosi and Biden. Rotflmao. Think of that for a second. My sides.
Well at least Taiwan is against commies. Ukraine we don't need or trust. We don't gave them 40 billion why not Taiwan. Hell fire up the printer and start letting the money fly.
Well now that their number one asset is gone they can be sure to avoid collateral damage. Probably paid Nancy to do it so they could use her visit as a pretext.
She probably came with an offer, submit to the democrat party and commit to trillions in bribes over the next decade and become a puppet cut out state for soros woke money laundering schemes or submit to china
Sounds about right.
Makes sense. Dems might lose their current laundering facility to the Russians so they desperately need a replacement.
Sounds like a deal only a rotten bitch would make
This. The whole thing was probably scripted. China wanted her to go. It's just the excuse they need to invade.
There is certainly fuckery afoot.
Now that they have the opportunity to surround Taiwan they will probably stay.
China won't invade. Taiwan is an insane fortress island. You can destroy Taiwan, but you can't conquer it via invasion and they will never submit and there's plenty of rumors they have suicide switches for any valuable infrastructure so victory means a prize of rubble. If China wants Taiwan, they have to nuke it and then they still have nothing.
I was really hoping they'd blast her out of the air. China is all talk. They like to show off weapons they've never used.
What do you mean, Nancy IS their weapon, and they use it often
90% farmers and piss poor peasants even if they have a gazillion.. they're mostly farmers and peasants that HATE the mfers running shit
They have a habit of sending the women to do the dirty work, remember Kammy went to Ukraine and announced the NATO induction days prior to Putins invasion.
She's been pretty anti-CCP since 89. It's one of those weird things when somehow a leftist gets something right. Her visit shat all over China. They won't do shit.
That's commie Chinese for "You stand with Taiwan? Prove it!!!!"
No, it's Chinese for, "Thank you, Comrade Nancy, for providing us with the political excuse to surround Taiwan. You are Number One CCP spy."
Diane Feinstein enters the chat....
Swalwell cries in the corner, devastated by this betrayal
Can't believe that 90 year old bitch is still alive
It's true though. She literally just gave them an excuse to move their military.
“ 你的军事领导人是同性恋，吸了很多阴茎”
Just a minute,
got to print this out and show this to my chicken.
That's easy for you to say ..... write .... say.
They don’t stand with shit... well, perhaps they only stand with shit.
Nancy represents San Francisco, so it's safe to say she stands in shit. Does that count for anything?
The kings of bullshit mountain
Biden stands with it in his underpants
Taiwan is a well defended island and have nothing to worry about regarding an invasion. They literally "have the high ground."
I better not see a single dime of my taxes grifted in defending it.
Yup.
Modern warfare is economic, and targets civilians.
The incestuous elites have all allied with one another to permanently enslave the "peasants".
The Chinese have been practicing asymmetrical warfare for a long time. Alot of it is economic to weaken the US and there is also alot of social instability to enhance their dominance. They also have been lobbying over many years in our goverment for special status. They own many companys and have stakes in others. For sure they have bribed many in goverment and private sector for huge profits off the backs of slave labor.

Blockading with the intention of starvation is an act of war.
I'm not blocking you! <shoots warning shots as an oil freighter> I'm not blocking you!
Load tubes 1, 2 , 3, and 4.
Tubes loaded Sir.
Torpedoes away !
Target: Three Gorges Dam.
Also they wear out their military simply by making them have to constantly scramble jets.
Too late about your tax dollars. Just do a quick Google search about military aid and sales to Taiwan....
Damn. I was too late
True but I think it's only a matter of time before Biden releases billions of dollars of aid to Taiwan
There are DCS simulations on YouTube of China trying to invade Taiwan.
Realistic simulations.
China loses. Taiwan remains combat effective.
I can find some.
https://youtu.be/8MN05AEA3MA
How about prolonged bombardment and blockade?
Probably not so much
When it comes to the location, of course, there is a reason only the island(s) were NOT defeated by the commies back then. It's much easier to defend an island, of course.
But they lost already politically because theie gov is US puppet gov and US gov is China's puppet gov. So there is not much left to defend if you have been infiltrated and your goverment is china's puppet gov by proxy.
100% mask compliance there ... still to this day!
I think the mask thing is more of a fashion statement in Taiwan. I know Korea and Japan have been wearing masks prior to covid for fashion. However 99% of China wore masks pre-covid because of smog.
Masks are an Asian commodity it seems
Was going to say this. I had several foreign transfer students in my school previously that were Asian, and always wore a mask when they were sick, and for other reasons, all pre covid. Must be a cultural thing
Yep. From SE Asia to China they were wearing masks waaaaay before covid.
Yeah 100% mask compliance in Korea and Japan pre-covid, sure...
Pre-Covid it was like 1 in 100 to 1 in 1000 in Asia (including China) - wearing masks.
No one cared, it was not political. Today it is and you get 100% compliance and it's legally enforced.
Correct. Taiwan is pretty frikkin based. They were warning everyone about the man-made CCP virus long before anyone else. With direct, and specific language. They give China the middle finger more than anyone else. They know Chyna is asshoe. But I digress, they have strict let controls because they’ve been hit hard by China a few times before, SARS being the most recent.

They waited until after the granny left? Why not while she was there?
Because China is too much of a pussy to risk actual real conflict with the US, despite all that chest-beating.
China is all bark and no bite.
Pelosi is their asset. The trip was planned so China has an excuse to finally topple Taipei.
The reason for her visit becomes clearer. 1. Appear to be supporting Taiwan so she can make more money on the chips they produce. 2. At the same time give the Chinese a reason to intimidate, maybe invade Taiwan.
Live…fire..exercise!!
Sounds exactly like what Putin says right before they invaded the Ukraine doesn't it?
This. China isn't dumb enough to announce when and where they are going to attack. It's all show for Xi to save face.
Strategically her visit gave them cover to perform "exercises".
I thought they were going to shoot her airplane down. It's not too late! Please keep a promise if you are not coward!
I knew they wouldn't do shit... to Pelosi
The people of Taiwan have pelosi to thank. Make her live there, why does he get to try to start a war with another country and come back here to her gates mansion?

They won't do shit. No balls.
It's all a dog and pony show

China will never invade. Ever.
I don’t know why Nancy went, but I’m not opposed to showing our support for a sovereign Taiwan.
She speaks of political prisoners and all the while she and the commies have Americans locked up as political prisoners because they dared to protest a corrupt election.
Almost like it was planned or something.
Pooh Bear is mad, the old drunken hag didn't back down.
They filled her full of Dutch courage, landed that bitch, and she went out to karaoke for an hour and left. She did manage a hot pot on the way back to AF Tito.
China is imploding. Half the country stopped making mortgage payments.
Just saw that in the news. Housing collapse
Also, China has 20% youth unemployment, a shrinking population, an aging population with no retirement funds, immense private debts, widespread poverty, chronic food shortages, and dependency on importing food and fuel.
China has a rapidly aging population with no way to provide for themselves in their old age. There is no equivalent to a 401k or social security (except for government workers.)

Yup. Too many ppl here only have hatred for the US.
She thinks this will distract us from the fact that her insider trading moose knuckle licker hubs injured people in a car accident and they changed up the judge to some insider. Mark it down
UPDATE: American carrier strike group enters regional waters.
Oh this is not good.
Oh shit, check ✔ now it's your move.
I'm so sick of hearing all the Sabre rattling. If they were ever going to do anything, it would have been after pelosi called their bluff. Now they're the laughing stock of the planet. They bowed to pelosi and Biden. Rotflmao. Think of that for a second. My sides.
Just like their men, weak as fuck.
Isn't there anything these fucking idiots don't fuck up.
LOL, tough talking chingchongers let Nancypoo waltz in and out of Taiwan like cucks.
Well at least Taiwan is against commies. Ukraine we don't need or trust. We don't gave them 40 billion why not Taiwan. Hell fire up the printer and start letting the money fly.
Have to save face...is Chinese culture.
Couldn't even defend against japan.. fuck chy-nah
Fuck China. They could have shot that bitch out of the sky and they didn't.
Well it's a bit late now......
Mealy mouthed drunken old cunt. Get a mutual defense treaty back with Taiwan if you really want to support them, you horrifying soulless shitpile.
Probably why the President of South Korea won't meet with her, cause she sold out Taiwan and they want no part of it cause SK could get the boot too.
Let’s just blow the shit out of everything in China !
3 gorges for sure
China has us by the soft underbelly🍆
Granny Jugs says the real problem is she's a woman
