Why is Pelosi in Taiwan?
Pelosi lands after Kirby (WH NSC) confirms "we do not support Taiwan independence"/China Poised to Invade Taiwan’s Offshore Islands/Fleitz Killing of Al Z too convenient
Hogan’s Comment:
First the Dems have proven time and time again, "why tell the truth when a lie will do" and they cannot be trusted.
Why is Pelosi in Taiwan? Views range from:
When they left Hawaii, the pilot heard her mention that she was going "to go tie one on" and away they went.
Distraction from economy, more $$$ for defense contractors, distraction from today's primaries, Taiwan supplies 90% of high end computer chips, Silicon Valley needs chips, etc. Maybe even the CCP was in on it, they love Dems and Biden.
Our best guess, Biden is weak and owned by China, Dems know Biden is a drag on upcoming Congressional elections, she is trying to put on a show and say, we are not like Biden.
Although we have been bought off by China too, we didn't forget our laptops, in an honest guys computer shop by a drunken sex and drug addicted offspring. (except Swalwell).
One thing for sure, it's not about democracy.
After all China's rhetoric hard to believe Xi will do nothing.
Dr Sellin makes a good case for invasion of Taiwan's offshore islands as a means to send a message, save face.
Nancy Pelosi Lands in Taiwan After Kirby Reaffirms “we do not support Taiwan independence”
There was a lot of back-and-forth hostility between the government of China and the administration of Joe Biden in advance of Nancy Pelosi’s trip to Taiwan. Some Chinese state media even suggested a possibility that Pelosi’s plane could be shot down. However, none of the threats materialized. Yesterday it was obvious the White House was […]
Fleitz claims he is “skeptical” that a CIA drone strike took out the terrorist a year after the botched Afghanistan withdrawal. There has been no proof of death yet. Only the bragging over the dispatching of the monster by an administration that has reportedly had to walk back a number of similar claims.
In a strike that appeared to Fleitz to be far too convenient, Zawahiri was said to have been taken out on a balcony outside of Taliban-controlled Kabul by the CIA using a drone, according to multiple reports. Although the Taliban confirmed there was a drone strike, they notably did not confirm that Zawahiri was killed.
Can you spell "fake out", another Cornpop moment to save Biden.

WARNING: China Poised to Invade Taiwan’s Offshore Islands

Quemoy and Matsu, officially known as the Kinmen and Lienchiang Counties respectively, are groups of islands located directly off the coast of mainland Communist China, but are under the administration of the Republic of China, Taiwan.
In the Second Taiwan Strait Crisis, also called the 1958 Taiwan Strait Crisis, the People’s Republic of China shelled the islands of Quemoy and Matsu Islands in part to probe the extent of the United States’ defense of Taiwan’s territory.
During the 1960 Presidential campaign between Democrat John F. Kennedy and Republican Richard M. Nixon, the defense of Taiwan, as represented by Quemoy and Matsu, became a major issue during three of their debates.
Quemoy and Matsu are not fortified, making their capture by the People's Liberation Army an easy, but highly symbolic victory.
According to recent reports, footage uploaded by civilians in China shows large military movements of troops and equipment as Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi is expected to arrive in Taiwan.
The large military movements have occurred on major highways and railways throughout the Chinese province of Fujian, directly adjacent to Quemoy and Matsu.
In the last 24 hours, commercial flights have been abruptly canceled from airports in several cities in Fujian province. These airports include Xiamen, Fuzhou and Quanzhou. Xiamen Airlines put out a statement saying that the flight cancelations were due to “regional traffic control” and did not elaborate further.
This could be considered an invasion warning, the military occupation of the Quemoy and Matsu Islands as the first step by Communist China to subjugate Taiwan and eliminate U.S. influence in the Western Pacific.
