If China occupies it our Navy is GREATLY handicapped in any conflict involving the south china sea. Also, we can effectively blockade sea access to/from China with Taiwan as an ally.

That's not even mentioning the microchip manufacturing capabilities that do not exist anywhere else in the world.


Nothing about any of this is impacted by an 80 year old woman flying to Taipei and taking pictures.

my question is why is anyone other than the state department, the president or someone he appoints allowed to travel to meet with other countries?

WTF can Nancy Pelosi do or even really discuss with any country? not just her any Speaker of the House.

this is just another huge waste of tax payer dollars. All of this travel shite pisses me off almost as much as all the bullshite money we give away. not to mention all the military tech that we pay R&D on and then allowed to just be sold to other countries. :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: :banghead:

Why is the speaker of the House going to China? Don't the Dem jackasses love China? Why piss them off?

Nothing the Dems do, at any time, makes any sense......................I mean none!

The given reason is that it is part of their legislative function and authority over the checkbook.

Absolutely. CoDel's are an overlooked yet huge example of needless, swampy waste.

For example, Congress spent over $500,000 in overseas Congressional trips in the first quarter of 2022.

I am very aware of the actual issues at play.

What about an 80 year old woman flying to Taipei will have a material impact on any of these things?

Exactly. It makes no sense. It's like they want to play good cop, bad cop. If Biden told her not to go, she wouldn't go.

frick taiwan. we shouldnt be giving them shite when it comes to aide. They have budgetted only like 3% of gdp for defense and have failed to spend the full amount for like 5 years straight, i mean really only spent 2.1% or 66% of the budgetted amount. first 3% is obsurdly low for a country that is supposed to be at grave risk of immediate invasion and then to top it off....they dont even spend it all.

obviously they could give two fricks about their own defense so why the frick should we care?

i said same thing about the european problem in ukraine, although i was ok of with a coalition of military aide goign to them. But now that france, germany and others are goign around the sanctions...frick em.

Can we send her over there in a unmanned drone and let them shoot it down. That way none of our boys get hurt.

Yep, I can hear Mark Milley and his war-mongering pals in the Pentagon just giggling with glee at the prospect of war with the ChiComs.
