Pelosi's Trip to Taiwan - A Possible Explanation

a reply to: AugustusMasonicus

Of course Woke Europe is to stay united over war in Ukraine with pushing more sanctions.
They are the ones that would be hurting more during the two winters in the

Not the politicians but the general populace would be hurting a lot more.

Its a shame for those who are supporting Ukraine arent able to see what is coming.

Isolating Russia isn't going to work unfortunately.

It's already working, the longer this goes on the more they cannot get back what is being pulled from their economy via isolation from the West.

As if "the west" has anything Russia can't persist without. I think you're overselling the impact of our trade sanctions. They might be getting uncomfortable but they're nowhere close to desperate or vulnerable.

Pelosi is a lame duck. No more influence than any other member of Congress in 6 months. She's in a HURRY TO GET SOMETHING before her rein ends.

The Trade sanctions are hurting us more than they are Russia. China/Russia are allies over the issues of things like Ukraine/Taiwan.

China has being the only nation defending Russia during when the Russians intervened in Syria.

They might be getting uncomfortable but they're nowhere close to desperate or vulnerable.

Russia has being providing half of the world with fertilizers.
Russia today cant compared to that Russia of the soviet union.

If i were you i would be more concerned with the Euporean union and its failing economy due to the sanctions.

I'm not, their economy is 10 times the size of Russia's.

The further the EU and its economy is going to get destoryed through by their own powerful sanctions which is actually hurting Europeans more.

See above.

Russia's inability to repair/replace military equipment owing to critical electronic components says otherwise.

Well, one thing is for sure, if China gets its dirty hands on that premier microchip maker on the planet, the world is in big trouble. Just like getting dependent on Russia for oil and gas hurts the EU, imagine CCP gets the power of the MC master Taiwan!

That would be an absolute political and economic disaster for the US and the world. China could blackmail the whole world with such power.

It just proves Intel better get off their fanny and start doing what Taiwan does, or the world will be in trouble once China takes over Taiwan.

Pelosi’s mistake is in making Biden back down from China, who gave him an ultimatum: DO NOT LET HER GO TO TAIWAN OR ELSE A MILITARY RESPONSE.
Now Biden looks to the world as if he shrank over the Chinese threat.

She should have known better.

I actually think it's to force China's hand on the Ukraine conflict; they agree to further isolate Russia and she decides to not make the trip. Just my speculation.

Also might want to point to the fact that China has one of the fastest growing Electric Vehicle markets in the world.

And California, where Pelosi's district is located, has one if the few Lithium mines in the US.

Or just another example of government officials doing the bidding of big tech big corporations bidding? I bet shes going to make millions for herself and billions more for others inside trading.

That sounds terribly "anti-capitalistic" of you.

How very Progressive!

Pelosi's district is San Francisco, not California. She's not a Senator.

Well aware of the fact that San Francisco is a city in California, and that Nancy is not a Senator.

However, as an elected official representing a State with mineral resources that will be vital to China's industrial future, her trip to Taiwan has implication possibilities beyond pissing off Xi and his comrades.

Do they manufacture many EVs in Taiwain? I know that mainland China has quite a massive share of EV manufacturing.

I'm not really seeing the connection, but I've only researched Taiwan's role in the IC/chip industry.

In any case, if China were really interested in California's lithium mining (which is probably only good for fractional output of what China already has)...it'd be kind of curious to threaten to shoot Pelosi out of the sky no? Usually threatening someone is not a sound practice if you're interested in something they have to offer.

Exactly yes took the words from my mouth .

Why is Russia in Ukraine right now ? Power , Influence or in particular fighting the influence of the USA in Ukraine .

Pelosi dong what ever she is doing in Taiwan looks like a power play from any direction and Russia was very jumpy over Ukraine now imagine how Jumpy China will be over Taiwan and any American influence there .

Russia's at War , Would China not do the same ?

Maybe we will be lucky and Godzilla will eat Pelosi. Although she would probably taste so disturbing that Godzilla would spit her out. She will probably castrate Godzilla with her pointy shoes...Maybe Waters should go with her, another set of pointy shoes would be of aide if they get gobbled up.

Just kidding, I would not wish harm to come to Godzilla.

Biden's numbers are dropping.....which means more people are willing to believe he was in on Hunter's dealings with China.
Xi has the goods on Biden, yet has let Biden pretend to be the tough guy, rather than rat him out.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Peelosi land in Taiwan, start a sh!t show with a 'harsh' response from China, Joe 'makes' him back down, and Democrat ratings soar- just in time for the midterms.

How's that for over-thinking?
