US Military To Prep For War If Pelosi Goes To Taiwan: REPORT​

The U.S. military is readying for possible conflict in the Pacific ahead of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s possible trip to Taiwan in August, according to The Associated Press.

The Pentagon will escalate troop movements and security measures in the Pacific if Pelosi follows through with her planned Taiwan visit. China likely would not attack Pelosi’s plane directly, officials familiar with the matter told the AP, but senior officials worry that her presence could inflame existing tensions between the U.S. and China over Taiwan.

“If there’s a decision made that Speaker Pelosi or anyone else is going to travel and they asked for military support, we will do what is necessary to ensure a safe conduct of their visit,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told the AP. “And I’ll just leave it at that.”

Officials declined to provide specifics but said measures could include fighter jets, ships and surveillance equipment to create redundant shields around Pelosi. China threatened to impose a no-fly zone over Taiwan if Pelosi visits and has dispatched warplanes into Taiwan’s claimed air defense identification zone, CNN reported, as a possible countermeasure.

Pelosi would be the highest-ranking elected official to visit Taiwan in a quarter century, according to the AP. While enhanced security is typical of any high-level official visit to a foreign country, the precautions would go beyond those taken for trips to less risky destinations.

This is Mark Milley our woke JCS Chairman trying to scare Pelosi into staying home.

The US and China are entering great depressions. China's depression will probably cause a dynasty change, the end of the CCP. After its depression, China could recover with its next dynasty and be ready to take more territory, or civil war may rip it apart. Taiwan could expand back into the mainland or form an alliance with a new smaller nation. The US in its depression won't have the power to pick fights with anyone.

I rarely agree with Nancy Pelosi but if she visits Taiwan she’ll have my full support. The president should support the trip as well. Unfortunately his public comment indicates he’s wobbly on the question as he is on most things. Due to Biden’s mental health condition, Pelosi is the defacto leader of the Democratic Party. Her visit would send a strong message not only to Xi but domestically as well.

That would be a positive development, I wish it would happen, but I don't think it will.

I don't think Nancy should go, but the wheels are already in motion and we cannot back down in the face of Communist threats.

We don't pick fights, but we still have the firepower to make a difference if Xi gets skippy.

"Officials familiar with the matter" - oh look..another anonymous source

 

[QueequegsHead]

We loved anonymous sources during the Trump Administration.

Now they're out of favor???

 

[ll74]

Yep...I see to remember the cry of "you can't trust anonymous sources" quite often.

Fortunately the testimony recently has proved most of it correct.

 

[QueequegsHead]

So, you're saying this time, it's probably correct too.

Right???

 

[ll74]

Yah, I remember how all anonymous sources were crap....strange enough, they mostly have been proven right with testimony

That being said...the headline doesn't match the content.

 

[QueequegsHead]

Snark, dodge, deflect, repeat...

Interesting observation you have, good catch! That's actually a very possible, kinda wish I'd thought of it. If you don't mind I'll lke to add ..... Taiwan is an industrial machine their quality far and away surpasses the Chinese. As China continues to slide into depression Taiwan would be a valuable asset
My concern is our current administration will sell them out...... anyway good call....

I think that should be of great concern. However, sending Pelosi says we're goin to be tough in defense of Taiwan (unless, of course, she's doing a Biden and just going to set up future investments for Paul).

Additionally, Xi has clearly been able to see what happened when Russia, with unmotivated soldiers, took on the smaller Ukraine, with motivated soldiers, confident of quick and easy victory. Xi's military also has to cross blue waters and China has a very poor naval history, so I do not think they have a viable military option.

Pelosi and Biden should have kept their mouths shut and just did it. I wonder how long it takes to blame Trump for this fiasco. One display of incompetence after another.

US fighter jets, ships ready if Pelosi travels to Taiwan: report​

Hopefully, she'll make the trip and give the finger to the well deserving Chinese.

 

[QueequegsHead]

You think they'll actually try to shoot her plane down?


*chuckle*

Pssst... the Trump Admin was the source of the tomfoolery.

BTW, has Pelosi's trip to Tawian been made official, or is this just another headline ripped from a right wing tabloid and Reichguide is yet again complaining about something that hasn't/won't happened?

 

[JohnEngelman]

I am glad that "we" - meaning President Biden, who I voted for - are standing up to the Chinese dictatorship. In recent years that dictatorship has been getting uppity.

I love Chinese people, Chinese culture, the Chinese nation, etc., but not the dictatorship. Democracy works well in Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan. I am sure it would work on the Chinese mainland.

In the long run I am more optimistic about the future of China than I am about the future of the United States. The East is not red. I do believe it is the location of the future.

 

[HisArpy]

I'd stuff Kamala into AF2 and send her a Paleosi off on a tour of the south pacific region to press the flesh with our allies and trading partners.

Go ahead China. Go ahead and shoot down the second most recognizable airplane in the world while it's carrying a foreign leader and dignitaries onboard. It would be THE most stupid thing a nation has ever done.

She has a south pacific "tour" scheduled. The stop in Taiwan isn't "confirmed" but it is on the schedule.

Which schedule are you referring to?

​

Speaker Nancy Pelosi is set to leave this weekend on a trip that includes Singapore, Japan and South Korea — and possibly Taiwan — even as a Chinese state media commentator suggested Friday that Beijing could shoot down any U.S. military plane she takes to Taipei.​

 

[HisArpy]

Which schedule are you referring to?

How about the one you quoted?

 

[Rotadom]

How about the one you quoted?

Oh no. You were caught in yet another carbon-based lie.

 

[iso36]

She’s probably just going to Bali.

 

[Buffalogurl]

Pelosi's old mob, she learned well from her father, old mob from Boston. If she does travel to Taiwan I'm curious how much protection money she'll extort for herself and the Biden crime family using the US military as leg breakers??
All mob deals are done in person....
Ps they've named her aircraft....Broomstick 1.....
