China warns U.S. against Pelosi visiting Taiwan Why is our government so embolden now

Doesn't look she going - nice convenient time to have an excuse. US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi tests positive for Covid
Perhaps they could send AOC instead.

She isn't going anywhere now she got the Covid .

Man how much more is Russia going to take ?

"UN suspends Russia from Human Rights Council
The US proposed the move after videos allegging atrocities in Bucha, Ukraine"

what does this situation have to do with Russia? this is about CHINA, a belligerent nation that claims to own everything within thousands of miles of China (and their claims of territory, include Russian territory), and nothing at all to do with Russia, which is a completely different nation.

the act is all countries should have recognized Taiwan at least as an independent nation, apart from Communist China. unless they instead recognize Taiwan as the legitimate Chinese government, over all of China.

FWIW only a handful understood where I was going with this,,,


the OP was about how it seems the US, Russia, and China are all getting pissy with each other and It's been a while since that happened. Basically, to me, it seems America has gotten ballsier than previously, ie it's out of character and so China and Russia are pouty too.

I always thought you looked for changes in how your government is acting to help predict future events.

Those are some fair points. I can definitely see why you made you're statement earlier, and see some truths to it.

On a personal side, I don't much mine seeing the budget plateau or drop. Our nation wasn't designed to be the world police, an imperialist, or project our will through force.

And the last few decades have shown if nothing else that we're not good at it.

I hate all of it and think we should just respect and leave each other alone.

But someone is going to be on top. Ether the west or ruissa and china.

Be honest everyone. Who would you rather it be?

That's the point somewhat, when did they go all screw Beijing? that's never been our default mode governmentally. When business-wise America is all in China's business and vice versa.

But isn't getting out of bed with china something everyone wants the usa to do?

Seems to me that an admin with some balls is what people have been wanting?

And that is why I am 1,000% opposed to intervening in the affairs of any other nation, especially at the direction of a very dangerous man who has been led to believe he is the leader of the USA. I can only guess he has a few war-mongering generals advising him on what to do regarding Russia.

One, the F35 isn't made to dogfight. It's primary function is to fly in one ear and out the other, without y'all noticing until the bombs go off.

The F22 is an air-superiority fighter, and nothing, at the moment, can match it.

They are two different aircraft with differing tasks. The F22 can do ground attack, but it's not going to shine at it. The F35 can dogfight, but it's not going to do as well as a fighter designed for that purpose.

You mean like how good NATO has been towards Macedon by telling them to change their historical name to North Macedon because a few privileged politicians demanded the change in Greece?

At least it go that inconsequential country's name mentioned, think of it as a PR favor.

Remember when you were wrong about countries purchasing the F-35? I do...

She can visit if she likes and I doubt she's half as afraid as people here about it.

What exactly do you think China will do? Cry and whine.

Stop being afraid of China.
