Alright now China sanction Taiwan economically and isolate the island. Irresponsible visit and gain nothing. What a politician
👩🚀Nancy Pelosi and Congress in Washington apparently believe that war between the United States and China is possible, maybe inevitable, and perhaps even desirable. It’s a seductive logic. The bigger problem is that; Taiwan by international Decree is China’s territory; The Biden administration also has said Pelosi’s visit does not signal a shift in its one-China policy, which acknowledges that Taiwan is part of China, but, if the Democrats and the pentagon are thirsting for war with China, keep selling missile defense systems to Taiwan as you did with Ukraine and send Nancy Pelosi to seal the deal. (Other countries like the Philippines, do not trust Antony Blinken, do not buy weapons systems, invest your countries money in your people)🧑✈
美国出现佩洛西这种缺乏战略眼光的政客,真是遗憾呢哈哈哈。
因为她的出访,中国已经彻底包围台湾地区,在第一岛链撕开口子,直接动摇美国花费七十年时间才形成的地缘格局。
以往要达成这些,中国必须付出巨大牺牲,现在居然…轻飘飘就完成了。
希望她在中期选举胜出,并且再干几年,笑死我了哈哈哈。
Pelosi is stirring things up. Everyone is in war and hostilities. Thanks for pushing button.
She shares a connection with China though, well as a child she thought if she dug deep enough she'd reach china! These are our so-called leaders.
Thanks for canceling my vacation Pelosi. Now all the commercial flights to Asia en-route to Taiwan are cancelled.🥲
You are right!!! Mss Pelosi
Was she drunk or why wasnt she able to speak without stuttering to the media?
Oy, you done fked up now you're talking trash.
This lady is disgusting.
USA doesn't care about Taiwan they are just pushing China to attack Taiwan as they did with Russia and Ukraine. We are in the the third world war already and much more coming. It is the Amerian strategy to weaken there enemies and destroy there economy..
I was a trump supporter I voted against democrats Bidden and Pelosi, but that doesn't mean Everything done by democrats I will go against it. The visit of Pelosi to Taiwan is the right thing to do, the need to do, and the right time to do. As the war in Ukraine is on going. China is taking advantage of US involved in Ukraine to increase pressure politically and militarily over Taiwan to seek the surrender from Taiwan. China is trying to isolate Taiwan from allies. This is a critical time that Taiwan need the absolute strong support from US. That is why Mrs. Pelosi has to go visit Taiwan. It is very important and essential visit need to be done. So that China will not dare to attack Taiwan because they have to think 10 times more before they decide to do that. Believe me, the visit of Pelosi will deter the China's intention to invade Taiwan. All China's activities to retaliate the visit is just a normal behavior of China when things does not go in its favor. In Ukraine we are having NATO allies is getting stronger day after day and gradually replace or reduce the involving of US to the minimum.
I was Trump supporter, but I support 100% the visit of Mrs. Pelosi to Taiwan. The visit of Pelosi to Taiwan is the right thing to do, the need to do, and the right time to do.
Pelosi is 100 years old she is not brave she's dumb. Has how many years left? She's probably in pain and anguish daily she's ready to fool people that she's brave, too late. Kavorkian is gone so she has to take it in her own hands. She knows she doesn't have much to lose. Meantime puts USA to risk.
crazy women
Taiwan makes chips for Nvidia, what's not to under about her visit. And she'll use the entire U.S. military to protect that play.
Its about Pelosi corruption!!
jesus she is like 100 years old cow. Why she is still in politcis
Search the ‘2nd communique’ a diplomatic agreement between the US and the PRC in 1979 where the US specifically agreed to end all diplomatic political relations with Taiwan as well as the US Recognising Taiwan as a territory of the PRC. The US has breached this agreement. No matter how you feel about China the US is in breach of a diplomatic agreement and is moving extremely irresponsibly.
They're not doing our travel schedule 😀
We have successfully owned Taiwan because of your visit.
After the glorious time of visiting to Asia, she finally tasted the consequences of sanctions to her family investments.
A truly useless corrupt politician. Put her on a fighter jet to Taiwan and let her fight China.
ELOSI CAN HAVE HER FRIENDS, CHILDREN OF GOD, MS-13 HELP FIGHT THE CCP. SHE IS SUCH A NICE WITCH. XI PINPING KNOWS HER WELL. SHE JUST CONFIRMED HER CHIP DEALS.
ask her about her inside trading and her drunk husband and his DUI and his investments. Hope Taiwan doesn't pay a price because of her
If I was China, the challenge is on
Biden administration is the most pathetic of all time
Paloci stood up to China and I have to respect that.. China cannot dictate where our leaders can travel..
Peloosi called China one of the freest countries in the world and back her promise to stand by Taiwan. Nancy was a naughty witch. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1iUM0TVX6h0
Lol she says she's not about changing the status quo, then goes on to try and change the status quo.
why does this Nancy Pelosi seem like a different person? like she's moving significantly faster than in other speeches she's given recently?
Why edit it like that? Why not leave in the part where she mentions digging a hole to China?
If Trump said what she said it wouldn't be edited out of the clip that's for sure.
So she's cool with how China is treating Taiwan? Because that's the status quo she's defending.
Notice that they cropped the part about digging a hole to China. Wtf was she talking about?
They are digging US into a hole for China with there trash policy
Yes, but I’ve also walked about in your city and I’ve watched your people. Your people are aggressive!” “You see, Duncan? Peace encourages aggression.” “And you say that your Golden Path . . .” “Is not precisely peace. It is tranquility, a fertile ground for the growth of rigid classes and many other forms of aggression.” “You talk riddles!” “I talk accumulated observations which tell me that the peaceful posture is the posture of the defeated. It is the posture of the victim. Victims invite aggression.” “Your damned enforced tranquility! What good does it do?” “If there is no enemy, one must be invented. The military force which is denied an external target always turns against its own people.” “What’s your game?” “I modify the human desire for war.” “People don’t want war!” “They want chaos. War is the most readily available form of chaos.
