Are You Willing To Risk China Shooting Down Nancy Pelosi's Plane?


If Pelosi would proceed with her trip as scheduled, her position as current House speaker would make her among the most senior officials to ever make a diplomatic visit to the island.

No House speaker has visited Taiwan since Newt Gingrich in 1997.

China says they don't want Pelosi to go. China also says they own Taiwan. No one else agrees with that.

So, what do you think? Should Nan go to Taiwan?
[Yes, she would have a round trip ticket.]

@sunsporter1649 duh. Really?
kentex35 · 100+, M
I think it's inappropriate at this particular time in the universe. Everyone's getting itchy fingers. But we told them how we feel it's like duel someone was japslapped they have got to save face. Hope it's not crazier. It's unnecessary move. Nothing to gain. We don't need to control 1.4bil people or insult them. Not this week.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@kentex35 Yup, really need to have the chicoms dictate to America where American citizens can go on vacation

@Applepiedom

But we MUST send Kamala too, if we send Joe.
Applepiedom · 56-60, M
@Thinkerbell oh yes. Clean it out
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
Its the "round trip ticket" im against 😏
ididntknow · 51-55, M
The sky would stink for days
Budwick · 70-79, M
@ididntknow Maybe we need EPA approval, eh?
As much as I despise Pelosi, I wouldn't want that to happen because of the military implications.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@BizSuitStacy What if we could make it look like an accident.
The Clintons have experience in these matters.

[I'm sorry, I know you were serious, and it's a serious matter.
But, I'm a dick, soo...]
@Budwick I mean, if she got drunk, went to the bathroom, but took a wrong turn and accidently fell out of the plane...I'd be ok with that. 😁
Budwick · 70-79, M

Pretty funny - "IF" she got drunk! LOL
kentex35 · 100+, M
I'm not sure why they have to do this right now.
China's position is quite clear and was made known well in advance. Why do we need an in your face moment right now? What do we gain from it? Are we bullies now? Are we doing them wtf just seems ill advised right now.
Now China must do something to save face within their country and on a global front. I know this country is well armed and there are probably ten billion bullets between the citizens and the military. China has one edge on us and that their hypersonic missile. This has I dare you written all over it. From a life long Democratic this was not well thought out. Biden is ancient and pelosi is ancient. They are acting like they have more nerve than common sense.
Thinkerbell · 41-45, F
@kentex35

They probably thought they had to look tough for the upcoming midterm elections.
Especially so, after Biden's Afghanistan withdrawal fiasco.
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@kentex35

When you're a superpower, you either act like one or you aren't one.

There's no need to fear their hypersonic missile. War with the United States would be national suicide for them.

And if they are foolish enough to go nuclear, we can park several Boomers in the South China Sea and turn their country into a radioactive wasteland in an hour.
kentex35 · 100+, M
@beckyromero that's ok their soldiers will dig teaches in stuff like that
MrAboo · 36-40, M
I wouldn’t mourn her death.
beaglehunter · 70-79, M
@MrAboo are you on her payroll
MrAboo · 36-40, M
@beaglehunter not by my choice.
beaglehunter · 70-79, M
leave her there and with in 2 days china will give us anything we ask for just to bring her back.bring her back this way in a bomber get her in the middle of the ocean open the bomb bay door and say good by to her
kentex35 · 100+, M
@beaglehunter ok that's a good one. Lmao
TexChik · F
Nothing ventured, nothing gained ! 😉
kentex35 · 100+, M
Politicians just start them. They don't fight or die or but this old woman thinks like Fonda. Going to just go over and tell them to behave. And stop it ok man. It's this shit the price of eggs in China or the wear and tear on a hens ass?
It only took 10 years for ppl to ask how her husband always seems to know a week in advance who’s getting billion dollar government contracts, and cleans up on stocks and shares.

She’s so done.. too many masters, only one hole for a hand
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
BTW...why is she going there anyways? is that where her hidden Investments at?
Budwick · 70-79, M
@FreestyleArt sdave455 asked the same question.
Your idea is as good as any.
She may be getting some mailing addresses to send ballots to in November?
4meAndyou · F
@FreestyleArt Some very weird stuff is happening with the Pelosis.

First Nancy's husband does the insider trading deal and buys 11 million dollars worth of Nvidia chip stock...then he SELLS the Invidia quickly at a huge loss so he and Nancy can't be accused of insider trading...then NANCY announces her intentions of traveling to Taiwan so that she can convince Taiwanese chip manufacturers to move to the USA... THEN XI Jinping announces that he will take action of some kind if Pelosi travels to Taiwan....THEN today Congress passes the chip bill which will encourage more production of chips in the USA.

All of it leaves me wondering if this is all happening just to make the Pelosis look innocent of insider trading...(which can't be done, BTW).
Budwick · 70-79, M

There's not enough Botox on the planet for that!
tallpowerhouseblonde · 31-35, F
Just threaten to load up bombers with all the broken junk from China then drop in on Bejing and the Chinese government will quickly withdraw that threat.
FreestyleArt · 31-35, M
Hope that results a new House speaker...and no not her Idiotic friends should take her place either
beaglehunter · 70-79, M
@FreestyleArt THE SQUAD send them all and burn thier passports
4meAndyou · F
🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I will have to give this some more thought...🤣
beaglehunter · 70-79, M
i would lend them no give them my 3006 to use
MarineBob · 56-60, M
Is the squad going
Budwick · 70-79, M
@MarineBob Good question!
I'm sure we could get a bigger plane.
Maybe like a girls night out kind of thing!
Oh, we could Maxine Waters on board too!
Driver2 · M
Yes she should go ,
[quote]China Shooting Down Nancy Pelosi's Plane?[/quote]

Oh, well... 😏
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
I support the idea,mostly because of the possibility that she'll be tossed in a Chinese labor camp.
beaglehunter · 70-79, M
@DavidT8899 they would not do that as she knows nothing about labor and the whole crew would refuse to work
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
@beaglehunter Trust me,they would TEACH her about labor!
I doubt the Chinese would risk shooting down an aircraft carrying her, either military or civilian. They risk losing too much on the world stage. It might possibly result in a major conflict.
My questions are: Is the administration actually sending her to do their bidding?
Joe and Xi are, if not already done, to speak, so that might have intended or unintended consequences. Is it in Biden’s power to stop her and delegation from going?
If she goes what is the purpose and intended outcome?
Tres13 · 51-55, M
America/NATO was warned about Ukraine by Russia

Now China has warned America about Taiwan
sdave455 · 41-45, M
What good would she do there? probably more damage than good.! Plus if something bad could happen, the possibilities would only range from another politically useful distraction for blue team to one less worthless politician. Not worth the cost of sending her.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@sdave455 Those are very sensible concerns.
The one about what good she would do is a biggy.
I'm sure everyone has been asking that question for a long time.
Seriously Dave - a good response.
sdave455 · 41-45, M
@Budwick I doubt she would do any good other than defying the CCP.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@sdave455 I'm more concerned that she may do their bidding!
beaglehunter · 70-79, M
i would be willing to buy her a house if she would stay there
Virgo79 · 61-69, M
Cant we just load the plane, i mean there must be room for more.
redredred · M
So long as she stays there, I don’t care who shoot what.
ididntknow · 51-55, M
I wouldn’t waste a missile
Budwick · 70-79, M
@ididntknow Well, the missile would be made in China, so, it's not like it's that good to begin with.
jeancolby · 31-35, F
They will shoot her plane down. The Chinese are sick of the US ordering every body around, just like everyone else. As for me, I don't care.
jeancolby · 31-35, F
@sunsporter1649 It might be nice if everyone got their own house in order before telling other people to clean theirs.
Budwick · 70-79, M
@jeancolby [quote]It might be nice if everyone got their own house in order[/quote]

Did you know that in China, no one has their own house! Private property is outlawed!
jeancolby · 31-35, F
@Budwick But you don't need to own a house to get it in order.
beckyromero · 36-40, F
Yes, with an escort of two aircraft carrier battlegroups providing CAP.
@beckyromero How do you know so much about China's capability's? I am sure that they keep that information top secret,
beckyromero · 36-40, F
@oldschool01 [quote]How do you know so much about China's capability's? I am sure that they keep that information top secret[/quote]

Wishing it's kept secret doesn't make it so.

The United States Navy outnumbers the Chinese navy in vertical launch missile cells on its surface ships by 9:1 (9,000 to 1,000).

Our entire fleet of about 50 attack submarines are nuclear powered; only 7 of China's 62 are.

Their navy won't make it out of port once a conflict were to begin. They'd have to move assets first, thereby telegraphing their intensions. If their assessment of the situation surmises an American intervention, they will almost certainly launch a pre-emptive strike against U.S. military assets in the region, likely those on Guam.

But a surprise attack against a U.S. aircraft carrier(s) is another matter. One, the chance of a successful attack is doubtful and, (2) if it were successful it would almost certaintly result in a massive retaliatory military response by the United States.

Moreover, Chinese sealift capabilities are [b]at the moment[/b] inadequate for an invasion of Taiwan. As such the People’s Liberation Army Navy’s (PLAN’s) is planning to use civilian vessels to expand the size of its amphibious lift capacity as well as the potential use of other non-military, stateowned or private assets to assist in an invasion of Taiwan. Such ships would be highly vulnerable to U.S. naval power.

We have a window of 3 to 5 years to increase our own capabilities and stop the PRC from closing the gap. But we need to start increasing our capabilities today.
@beckyromero Thanks for the info.👍
Risk it? I demand it! 😁
southbeachguy · 46-50, M
RISK? THAT WAS MY FAVORITE CHILDHOOD GAME. I have zero concern about her being shot down. No I mean if she got shot down I would have zero concern.
dakotaviper · 56-60, M
Why would they ever do that! Because she is currently trying to circumvent the people of the USA in order to allow someone like the Chinese to do as they please.
DavidT8899 · 22-25, M
There was a story on the news about how the leader of China threatened to shoot down Nancy Pelosis plane if she visted Taiwan.Cmon,Nancy!Go to Taiwan!
beaglehunter · 70-79, M
do not let her get drunk as she may start sounding like she is normal and know what the hell she is talking about
black4white · 56-60, M
I would say thats fine as long as we have #45 on the plane with her....and then we get a 2 for 1 deal....
doong · 56-60, M
Welcome Pelosi ?
No ?, Yes ?
