unbelievably moronic. Ive yet to hear a reason for going that isn’t basically to just literally piss off the chinese. Failing empire just flailing around. As if conditions weren’t bad enough here already, i’m sure shutting off all the treat lines is the move

That’s because there are no other reasons. There’s absolutely nothing that can be done by going there in person that could not be done in a fucking phone call. It’s just pure provocation.

But hey, China is obviously the aggressor here, yellow man bad, 69 billion dead Yoghurts, etc.

That’s the US foreign policy playbook. The exact same thing happened in Ukraine where the US and Allies infringed upon Russian red line interests until the Russians reacted with military force. This allowed the US and NATO to paint Russia as the aggressors.

Ofc, if they pull this shit with China they’ll also have to grapple with having no manufactured goods in addition to no gas, no oil, and no fertilizer or food.

I think this is just the Democrats specifically trying to (weakly) hit back for China not playing in Biden’s reindeer games w/r/t Russian sanctions.

Texas Republican and senior member of the House foreign affairs committee, Michael McCaul, and Democrat Anna Eshoo… told NBC on Wednesday they had been invited to Taiwan by Pelosi. Both declined due to a scheduling conflict.

Sorry Nancy, I’m too busy staying alive to follow you into being Franz Ferdinand-ed.
