Xi for the Win?

[QueequegsHead]

Or practical tactical politics for Pelosi?

Even if it is the latter and she shows up, Xi still managed to have an influence on the US Government. We blinked.

~~ OR ~~

Would you want to say, well, she never said for sure she would go there (even though she's visiting other major allies in the region)?

"House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's office announced early Sunday morning that she plans to visit at least four Asian countries during her trip to the region, but a stop in Taiwan was notably left out."

Is "at least" hidden code? A dog whistle? Four-card Monte?

Prior to his untimely assassination Abe was making a strong case for the US to abandon our "strategic ambiguity" policy re. Taiwan.

 

[ll74]

It means "no less than". So she could visit five or six, but not three. For future reference -> https://dictionary.com

 

[QueequegsHead]

Fuck off.

You don't come here to give any added value, only to try and be as negative as possible and subtract value...

It was a pretty open invitation to make conversation with no real conclusions or opinions,

or is reading for comprehension just not in your skillset toolbox?

 

[ll74]

You're wanting there to be some secret message when there isn't one. Sorry about your feels.

 

[QueequegsHead]

Fuck off.

 

[ll74]

Lol

 

[jomar]

Fuck off.

“Smart” guy quickly reduced to sputtering.

It was a pretty open invitation to make conversation with no real conclusions or opinions,

So that’s what your calling trolling theses days.

Fuck off.

 

[QueequegsHead]

Another non-productive contributor to the political discussions engaging in third-grade rhetorical behavior.

Sehr typisch.

I like it when y'all double down of the stupidity born of hate, a hatred of everything not just in the Oikophobic sense, but also rooted in the self-hate born of a sense of inadequacy.

vettebigot already made 2 fucking threads on the subject, dipshit. It's not our fault that you can't read.

^^^ “Smart” guy misses the mark by a country mile. His next post ban reincarnation username should be Dunning-Kruger.

 

[QueequegsHead]

Who's "sputtering" now?

The idiot thinks that if people disagree with him and he lashes out like a mentally challenged toddler, it's their sense of inadequacy that is at fault.

It's still you.

 

[jomar]

I rest my case, your Honor.

I love it when posters self-declare victory. It always gives me a chuckle over their complete lack of self-awareness and inflated sense of importance and acumen.

I call them "The Scorekeepers." These self-declared victories are more important to them than any meaningful conversation will ever be.

 

[IrezumiKiss]

a hatred of everything not just in the Oikophobic sense

hey now.

Oikos ain't my fave brand of yogurt, but that don't mean I hate it and the world.

Hoo boy. *face palm* I mean, holy shit!

You don‘t want meaningful conversation. Your shtick is posting supercilious “commentary.”

 

[QueequegsHead]

What I do so enjoy is being the only topic of conversation that you find interesting.

That's a pretty empty intellectual life. Let me guess, GED?

Aw man, I had one feeling and you hurt it!

Nothing on Xi, China or Pelosi...

Ignorance is bliss.
