What is the upside of Pelosi visiting here? Like I get that now that she said she was backing down has negatives. But what was the initial upside of the visit in the first place other than saber rattling?
Thatâs a brutal way to go.
Moral support for Taiwan?
Is this real?
Is there a civilian version?

I may have misread your meaning since âtheyâ is ambiguous.
The US should maintain the âone Chinaâ policy so long as Taiwan wants it. IR isnât my area of expertise, but I think thatâs still the case. Biden seems to be doing the opposite of signaling abandonment of the âone Chinaâ policy, so I assumed you meant China was signaling a willingness to use force.
I donât know what Pelosi is doing. Why would she go to Taiwan unless she had some sort of back-channel invitation? Maybe Taiwan wants reassurances that Ukraine wonât be allowed to set a precedent for justification of a Chinese invasion?
If itâs real, then itâs spectacular.
Joe Brandon sliced up Zawahiri like that dude from that Indiana Jones movie, good god.
Looks real. Wtf.

We already know there arenât enough votes for anything that isnât a blatant corporate handout. The point is that the parliamentarian is another non-binding fake rule that these hand-up-their-ass-like-a-muppet corporate shills hide behind. This already happened with the $15 wage thing in the Covid bill. âAh shucks we sure are disappointed she Byrded that part but hey, rules are rules wat ya gonna do?â
