They're talking about "targeted military action": cyber attacks on Taiwan? On US interests there? It all sounds a bit like, as the Chinese said themselves, playing with fire. Sounds like she's being provocative. And Biden was against it? Has he no power over his ****ing people at all? Can you imagine that happening under Der Trump? Think they'd be able to get away with that? Oh man! I just complimented Mister Orange! GAAAAHHHH!!

Biden is the President, not the King, and anyway, what can he do to stop her, take away her toys? She's probably nearing retirement anyway and she's in a very safe liberal district so she won't get voted out.
Anyway, this isn't the first time we've pissed off China and it won't be the last. I'd be more concerned with China helping Putin than Taiwan getting overthrown to be honest.

Not really. All she can really be is an independent diplomat, especially since she's doing this without Biden's blessing.

I just never understand America. No member of the govt here or in the UK or I imagine in Europe could go do something that is against the wishes, orders or without the sanction of the top guy and not get into trouble, yet Pelosi can go against her boss and do what she likes, even if it rattles the sabre? Or is Biden allowing her to do it as a sort of plausible senility, sorry deniability?

I'm sure Biden absolutely hates how this event is uncritically promoting the government's view of the annexation of Taiwan and general Chinese aggression as a pressing issue.

Dammit! My sarcasm detector just blew up! Not sure if you're being sarky, though I think you are, but if so, not quite sure what you mean. Duh.

I remember when Obama was president. Trudeau so desperately wanted to be his friend. I don't blame him though. Politics aside, Obama seemed like a pretty cool guy, one you'd want to have a beer with. |
