U.S. officials today said they have little fear that China could attack Nancy Pelosi's plane if she flies to Taiwan as Beijing doubled down on their threat to take 'firm and strong measures' if the House speaker visits the island.
If Pelosi does travel to Taiwan, which is still an uncertainty, the U.S. military would increase its movement of forces and assets in the Indo-Pacific region, officials said.
The officials declined to provide details of their plans, but said that fighter jets, ships, surveillance assets and other military systems would likely be used to provide overlapping rings of protection for her flight to Taiwan

It's impossible for anyone to despise this witch more than a friend of mine does - - but my friend is all in favor of the spouse of America's most infamous - - and drunken - - inside trader to take this trip.
This is a very Reagan-like move - - and If the chicoms don't like it - - let them lump it.

I have little fear that they would either. When the booze hound gets there she’ll just discredit the US, so it’ll be a win for china. This is all a payola ploy- insider trading isn’t giving them the 160% returns they have grown to waller in.

There were similar threats when Newt Gingrich visited in 1997. His visit went very well.
Pelosi should go because she said that she was going. We can't let the Chinese determine where US officials can and cannot go. The sensitive, sissified bunch in the Pentagon strikes no fear in the hearts any of our enemies. They are an embarrassment.
Taiwan is very important to the stability of the region, and when the the Republican's take back the reins, China will settle back down until the next Democrat gets in.

If anything the ChiComs are calculating and measured in their moves. They always plan for the long run. They MUST know they'd incur worldwide condemnation if they knock Pelosi's plane out of the sky. Goodbye Silk Road. I think it's all bluster and a way to 'save face.'

While I would love to see it happen, there aren't enough balls in China to carry it out (and they have about a billion of them).

Pelosi and all her cohorts are in the pocket of the CCP. This is all fake drama and is very suspicious. It's happening with the approval, or even at the direction of, China. Possibly, they want to use it as an excuse to crack down more on Taiwan. Also, it may be a move to bolster Pelosi's image in preparation for installing her as President, since she's Speaker and in line right behind the joke Kamala. With her in the office and war tensions high, though fake, they just might declare an emergency and "postpone" the elections in November.

Oh c'mon you guys. WHY would anyone believe this so-called MEDIA "report" with no details provided from unnamed "officials?" It's nothing but DemoMedia-choreographed hoogadooga--- orchestrated to give the impression that Pelosi is some hard-nosed headstrong patriotic crackerjack who will stand up for America on the world stage! Give me a break.

Why would the Chinese shoot down Pelosi who is one of their strongest allies in Congress? They would be cutting off their communist nose to spite their communist face. Pelosi is a communist death democrat who wishes that our Country was ruled in exactly the same totalitarian way as China.
This is once again all communist death democrat media propaganda to show Pelosi in some weird courageous light. Her real reason is to fly to Taiwan to pick up bags of cash in exchange for favorable laws benefiting Taiwanese companies.
The only place that this traitorous, murdering hag Pelosi should be flying to is to start a life sentence in solitary confinement at the Supermax Prison in Colorado.

Crypt Keeper Pelosi, the woke dimwits at the Pentagon and the Chicoms aren't fooling anyone. They're all corrupt scum who do NOT have We the People's interest at heart. So Pelosi will go on another useless taxpayer funded junket. Austin and Milley can act tough and Biden's buddy Xi Jinping the ding-a-ling can save his two faces. Also ask yourself this question. Why would Ding-a-Ling shoot down the plane code named Broom Stick when he has our demented old fool of a president in his pocket?

Pelosi on Obamacare: "We have to pass it to find out what's in it". Using that logic, we can tell her "You need to fly there before we will find out if you will be shot down".

Why is Nancy going there in the first place? She has nothing to do with the Executive Branch which deals with offshore issues. This is just a distraction and an unassay taxpayer expense. Stay home Nancy and pick your grapes or something if you have nothing better to do.

Of course, the potted plant is bowing down to the floor and crawling into a corner. I am sure they have film of him in showers with little girls, other little girls stroking 'the hair on his legs' and then some. Hunter is not the only freak in the family. Right. All I know is that they have a ton on the creep, and he will do everything they tell him and then some. Ditto the Russians!

Just in case the CCCP plans to shoot Pelosi’s plane down, she should take FJ Biden along with her, and also Heels Up Harris in case she needs her statesmanship.

Just like with Ukraine, Pelosi is only going there to pick up her bribes and strengthen her bonafides for when Biden and KneePads get article 25'ed.
I think for purposes of identification we should paint red and white concentric circles on her airplane.

Mais naturellement. If the Chicoms blast San Fran Nan's plane out of the sky as the USSR did to KAL 007 with Rep. Larry McDonald onboard, the Resident be extremely exrecised and will take enough amphetamines to make his eyes pop out on their stalks. Xi would laugh.
