Pentagon opposes Pelosi's Taiwan trip due to Chinese warning

[mmr]

Respect! She kept her word.

And lol to ccp bots.

China has already surpassed US. China is going up, US is going down.

Must be the best joke ever lol

 

[Passionaire]

Shooting down Pelosi plane on her return in a fabricated accident will be safest way for China. Invading Taiwan will have severe repercussions for China.

China-US war will hopefully bring US dollar down. This will be great relief for other world currencies.

Chinese intervention must occur under self-created conditions and with appropriate timing. What appears now is that the US is provoking China for military intervention. Russia was drawn into this trap. Now they are targeting China.

Most sensible comment so far.

These redneck bastards have a habit of creating anarchy and bloodshed. As if Russia and wars in the Middle East weren't enough, the Americans are now poking China.

Optics also matter. US has uninvitedly tress-passed China’s territory, Taiwan. Whole world is watching. China needs to live up to their tall claims. It’s a do and die situation for China. Nothing short of military action will help China save her face.

China will do something. My guess is that they will do something constructive without creating too much a mess. Likely it will be asymetric and over several months and years.

In modern world of 5 second tik tok videos and youtube 5 min fame, this episode will be gone from memory faster than people think. What matters is the long term facts on the ground.

China can really just sit and wait and wait, while PLA gets more suprior vis a vis Taiwanese, for every year. In due time the American will to fight for Taiwan will be gone, just like the will to fight for Ukraine.
And does anybody really care that much about Ukraine anymore?? Except the Ukrainians themselves who do, but the rest of the world is slowly moving on.

No one today care about 2 million Iraqis who died. Many people werent even born when the war happened. And Vietnam?? They are now US buddys.

World is a strange place.

Pelosi was on an official USAF Plane. An attack is a direct act of war against the US. The Chinese are not that dumb. They will wait till Pelosi leaves and will probably move to take some of the islands around Taiwan. Look at the precedent of the Spratelys and the Paracels.

Why did US not do anything when a far weaker nation like Iran pounded Al Asad Airbase with ballistic missile wounding 100+ soldiers. While the rest were hiding in bunkers wetting themselves?

Would it would be an act of war? Yes... Is there anything the US can do about it? No...

Yes and have awaken the sleeping Dragon.

ok so the next time dragon will retaliate?

It is a symbolic visit and nothing more. It is not like Taiwan is going to have independence in the morning.

The Yanks are desperate. Looking for fights everywhere their hegemony is challenged. Papa Yank has acted like a coward in Ukraine. Supplying useless weapons to Ukrainians and telling Ukrainian soldiers to fend for themselves. Wouldn't it have been courageous to see American soldiers fighting alongside Ukrainians? Now granny Pelosi is on a useless visit to pretend that America is in control. This is just for the optics.

i disagree just look at USA of 70s -90s and 2020s . if you are that much older difference is visible to naked eye . super power did not go down in day or year . next full decade will be this political economical geopolitical war of US decline and chines rise . you indians are wrong side of history when finally after 200 years first time asia and east are getting ahead of west . think of it west is using india as pawn in this game while india is in asia its great asian nation but standing with west at the time of history when asia is taking back power from west . history will not forget nor forgive this act .

Why Bajwa is in US?

India only look after its own interests. There is nothing like Asian century when China is eating mostly asian countries alive like a satan.
China's mostly border disputes are from countries in Asia only and you call it Asian century. Asian century only possible when all asian countries solves their border disputes first amd then support each other economically. Lol.
And your another delusion, no one can use India as pawn. India and China dispute are more older than US and China rivalry.
India will guard its border not because this is US and Maxico border, its India's border and land.

The US tries to untangle from Middle East, while it moves its attention to East Asia. Think about it, USA did the exact thing that China did today. It took a minor loss of face in order to win the real long term objective.
