Apologies for the url being a screenshot, for some reason the lemmur app won’t let me paste in the URL box, so here’s the link to the article: https://www.democracynow.org/2022/8/1/headlines/house_speaker_pelosi_will_visit_taiwan_despite_warnings_from_china

US is feeling really ballsy lately. Would be hilarious if their response was to start meeting with leaders of seperatists in Hawaii, Texas, Puerto Rico, Alaska, even California lmao. Do you guys think they’re trying to force a confrontation while Russia is bogged down in Ukraine? Kinda seems like that is their goal. Bog down Russia as long as possible and while Russia is busy take advantage of US having all of Europe in a firm bloc? They are also trying to form a bloc I feel to slow down the insane amount of trade china does with Europe, but if they keep up the sanctions on Russia and China we may see some European countries go neutral or even side with china out of pure economic necessity. The US economy is collapsing and dollar hegemony in waning- even Saudi Arabia is now trading with china in yuan.

      I know right? Just the other day Biden came out saying he didn’t know about this and didn’t approve of it. Thought that would be the end of it. Can’t tell whether this is all going according to plan or if pelosi is just a fucking psychopath narcissistic.

        Looks like Biden is very much not in control of his country

          Yup pelosi is legit third in command and the President had no idea of this insane move? So revealing, total corporate puppet. If he is the nominee in 2024, I cannot wait to watch the debates. Trump would totally wreck him.

            Nah, he knew, he’s letting it happen. He’s just doing what all USian presidents do to keep themselves clean of direct involvement.

            If he is the nominee in 2024

            Here’s hoping we get to live that long.

        She trades stocks while being a sitting legislator; I think “narcissistic psychopath” is absolutely in the running for theories.
