Yup. They showed their planes and ships and barked. Lol. The lady just kept walking without a flinch. The US is not intimidated- regardless of some folks in here hiding under a blankie.

The history of Taiwan being a part of China is irrefutable. In 1949, the Chinese Revolution created the People’s Republic of China, but this didn’t change that relationship at all. The PRC has always maintained its “One China” policy, even though they have allowed Taiwan to operate with a certain level of political autonomy, and self governance. But, there has never been an official separation into two separate nations, nor has Taiwan ever officially declared independence from mainland China. Consequently, Taiwan is China, which is why they call themselves “The Republic of China”.

This isn’t even close to being a debatable point, no matter what anyone thinks of China or it’s communist government. That’s the reality of the situation.

That China might object to Washington sending high ranking political envoys to meet with Taiwan officials should come as no surprise to anyone. China considers such actions as interfering in China’s internal political affairs, and justifiably so. Because it is interference. Plain and simple.

The fact that we would send a bumbling old drunkard broad who cannot formulate a coherent sentence is just a reflection of the inept and feckless nature of this crew of miscreants now infesting the halls of our government, and their reckless behavior which apparently knows no boundaries.

It appears that this gaggle of maniacs aren’t content with simply poking Russia in the eye and engaging in direct military conflict with them in Ukraine, but now seem intent on expanding their reckless hostility to our other Nuclear armed adversary, simultaneously. What could possibly go wrong with this strategy?

If y’all can’t see what’s happening here, I’m just at a loss for words. Heck, why beat around the bush. Why not we just launch the intercontinental ballistics now, and get it over with. Why waist precious time trying to genocide the world’s population with bioweapon injections, when you can speed up the program with nuclear war?

That would solve that big problem they’re encountering with “vaccine hesitancy”, wouldn’t it?

Your status as a senior conspiracy theorist certainly checks out.

Would you have preferred they shoot down a US flagged diplomatic aircraft? You maniacs act like this is a college football game.

Scott Adams was right … “never underestimate the stupidity of the general public”.

Perhaps you can offer everyone a more rational explanation of current events?

Or, maybe you could just start with a point that you disagree with, rather than drool on your keyboard?

Taiwan is its own country, even if China and the USA don't want to acknowledge it.

Now, I’m no fan of the Chinese Communists, because I’m not a democrat, and I absolutely do not support China’s president, Joe Biden. But we have no more of a right to dictate to the Chinese about their sovereignty over Taiwan, than China has dictating our Sovereignty over Puerto Rico, Hawaii, or the US Virgin Islands. That’s just the geopolitical reality of the world.

We also need to get the F out of Ukraine, and also Korea for that matter.

Perhaps this may strike you as rather odd, but it seems to me, the only borders you nitwits are in favor of defending, are ones located half way around the world, but God forbid we protect our own Southern Border! Y’all are terribly confused, and it’s liable to end up causing World War III, but probably not with China, because I think this is all just a smokescreen to create the illusion of conflict between Bejing and Washington, to cover up the fact that China Joe is in their pocket.

It’s the foolishness being engaged in with RUSSIA that’s the likely threat to create nuclear Armageddon.

But then again, it’s possible that China is deliberately manipulating the nitwits in Washington, like Pelosi and Biden to create the provocation they desire to justify an invasion of Taiwan. What better excuse than to have a US intervention into the political affairs between China and Taiwan as an excuse for military action, given the past agreements by the US and China with respect to the validity of China’s claim of sovereignty over Taiwan?

With Biden in China’s pocket, perhaps they already know that should a confrontation occur between Chinese Warships and the US Navy present there, that Biden will order the US to stand down, and not not risk all out war.

This would serve two valuable purposes for China …. they’d get their justification for invading Taiwan, and humiliate the US on the world stage, all in one fell swoop.
Our domestic and international interests. Those are the only reasons we need. It is actually okay for a country to look after its own interests, you know? You think China cares about interests other than its own? That would be NO. Thankfully we have many allies in the West that feel the same way.
