pelosi s arrival is imminent. she may be in the air right now . she s definitely coming. one source told the wall street journal the only variable is whether she spends the night. so nancy pelosi goes to taipei. what s the effect of that? well, we don t need to guess the chinese government has said repeatedly and clearly that if nancy pelosi lands in taiwan, it could trigger a global war. watch a chinese spokesperson said there would be serious consequences for the visit over the weekend conducting military drills at sea if house speaker pelosi insists on visiting taiwan, china will take resolute and strong measures to defend its sovereignty and territorial integrity. are they bluffing? it doesn t sound like it actually , a representative chinese state media said this quote if u.s. fighter jets escort pelosi s plane into taiwan, it is an inves the chinese army has the right to forcibly dispel pelosi s plane and the us fighter jets, including firing warning shots
invasion of ukraine and a war with russia, which is what they wanted. now they re sending nancy pelosi and not to be mean, but joe biden nancy pelosi is senile. i don t believe it. you probably see her speak very often. we re going to treat you. here s nancy pelosi s explanation for why she s going to taiwan. the president earlier well, earlier in his term talked about a strong emphasis on the asian pacific. he he has visited there vice president, visited the secretary of commerce and others and we want the congress of the united states to be part of that initiative. of course, there s a west coast person. we see the pacific as there are. you know, that s their home. we re part of that as well. that is not to diminish the importance of our transatlantic relationship as well, but it s where i m very excited. should we go to the countries that we you ll be hearing about
it doesn t seem like a big deal to put dumb people in positions of authority. oh, we re helping them out breaking ceilings. okay, got it. until something terrible goes wrong, which inevitably happens when you re running the biggest country in the world. that s a hypothetical, says karine jean-pierre, even though of course it s the opposite of a hypothetical hypothetical about it. china has repeatedly threatened to shoot down the plane carrying american speaker of the house third in line for the presidency. and yet no one seems to think this is a big deal . this is one of the weirdest moments in the weirdest presidency in american history. the bush administration is provoking a hot war with china, which by itself would seem to be headline news . but why it might make it kind of sense if biden had been a china hawk over the course of his career. he wasn t taking money from the chinese government, which he has. but of course, he s the opposite of a china hawk. he is a toady to china since
the world s shipping containers. they make 80% of the cranes that carry cargo from the ship to the dock. so because this has been coming at us in slow motion, for a decade and a half and no one s done anything about it, we find ourselves right now august 1st, 2020 two incapable of winning a war against china if this goes forward, we will lose. and yet for some reason, the biden administration has allowed nancy pelosi to go over there to provoke a military confrontation with china. is there any other explanation, other than they are rooting for the destruction of the united states ? if there is one texas? some republicans, by the way, are for this. they re for all war. mike gallagher represents wisconsin. just said, quote, i think it would be in keeping with that track record , very useful for american diplomacy and foreign policy for the speaker of the house to go to taiwan. yeah, whatever . steve chabot, a republican representing ohio, agrees that quote, i think it s important that we
defend that island in the event of a dispute, then we will be at war with china for the reasons that i just outlined. and we are not prepared for that. we are grossly overstretched. we don t have the logistical infrastructure. and frankly, there s an old adage that everyone should remember a ship s a fool to fight a fort. you have to fight china from the sea. we can t win that. china can absorb everything we throw at and the chinese are happy to sit there. let us travel thousands of miles to reach them and then think us this. i don t know why every show on tv not covering this right now. this seems like one of the craziest things that s happened in my lifetime. do you have any speculation and guess as to why the bush administration would want this? well, the biden administration and its predecessors frankly treated everything that the russian government said for the last 15 years about ukraine with complete contempt. they re repeating that process. we see how well that s worked
