Who wants to take a bet that SPAR19 is just a diversion ? Pelosi might be transported by US military from a completely different route while SPAR19 grabs China's attention.

Reason is, if China has openly threatened to harm Pelosi's plane, US will not put her on a plane whose path and identity are already known.

SPAR 19 going way off-course, currently 1500km south of Manila. It might not go to Taiwan, instead land in Guam or Hawaii.
exactly my interferrence also.. As i said middle path.. Blinken's statement effectively rules out US involvement in .. whether she visits or not..

he is basically trying to convert this to her personnel visit. I don,t think she is going if at all she is in that plane..

NO chance. She is no spy and public reason for her visit is not worth such stupidity..

But if it happens, this will booster monkeys morale thinking US dar gaya..

irrespective of whether pelosi actually lands in taiwan or not, CCP has already escalated by releasing videos of tracked armoured vehicles on beaches and city centres.

next time CCP wants to do posturing, either they have to do something similar or escalate. if CCP does anything less than current baseline, it's a loss of face for CCP.

But IF Pelosi lands, Now China cannot go back from this with their d**k in their hand, can they? They have to do something and as someone rightly said a few pages back, Biden might be old, weak, and/or dumb but the US military is not. It will respond with overwhelming force.

The only saving grace would be a back-channel understanding between US-China where China does some face-saving maneuver like capturing some meaningless islands and the US doesn't respond

And there’s more, if muricans knew CCP will do this posturing, then why did Biden/ CIA take out zawahiri yesterday. it’s not like old man zawahiri is going to go anywhere. why do two events in quick succession in two different theatres?

who is trying to steal whose thunder, between Biden and pelosi?

Or is this symbolic indication of transition of focus from one theatre to other?

Emperor Xi jinping's 3rd term as Chinese president is supposed to start in october

looks like US is out to fuck with him , US probably wants something from China , maybe they want Chinese fighter jets to stop fucking with Taiwan or maybe something Russia related .

either way , Xi jingping has no option but to escalate .

:megusta: 2 or 3 hrs to go , lets see what bullshit they wiill do .

Just a thought, the route she is taking can be interpreted as taking precautionary measures for security reasons.

but geo-politically can also be interpreted as key U.S politician hinting that they respect china's claim on SCS.
