    no, it really does. You print something the CCP doesn’t like you have big problems. State run doesn’t just mean state funded like NPR. It means controlled, top to bottom. Got something to prove their journalists are independent and protected from their government? I’d love to see it. Otherwise you’re just blowing smoke..not to mention BS

    As I said before, if Xi does something monumentally stupid, there is a rough dignity in consequences.

    Do I need to spell it out?

    I think they are really trying to take the public's eye off of this:

    China Might Be The Biggest Winner In Senate-Passed CHIPS Bill


    A bill ostensibly to counter China can actually help China.

    That's kind of irrelevant to the scenario that I was responding to. How do you think that's relevant?

    If her plane was shot down Biden wouldn’t lift a finger about it. He’s a coward and proved it with Ukraine and Afghanistan

    Um! what would your ideal President do about Ukraine?

    leaving Afghanistan was absolutely 100% the right choice. Many years too late!

    Leaving them tons of our military gear made us a worldwide laughing stock.

    It was done just as backwards as it could be

    Useless trophies with no operational value anymore.

    The US is no longer in that god forsaken hell hole. Win for the US. 3 Presidents didn’t do it. They just kept throwing money at a useless cause.

    You call 600,000 assault rifles that they want to take away from American citizens useless trophies.

    Not to mention the millions of rounds of ammunition they left for them

    Biden said it was a resounding success, just ask him.

    Yeah well, you be grateful they didn't take you bike. International outrage and an act of war!

    Oh my God, you mean I've been believing the US was winning in Afghanistan for 20 years and it wasn't true? :)

    That reminds me I need to get full coverage on it Monday morning. Believe it or not it's pretty cheap compared to auto insurance.

    Somebody steals it I get a new one.

    If you wear a helmet in the State of Florida you're not even legally required to carry insurance though it is a great idea. And if you do have insurance you're not legally required to wear a helmet though that is a good idea

    It's not Biden's call to make if Pelosi wants to go to Taiwan.

    One of Biden's failures is looking weak amongst our allies and enemies. Pelosi not going to Taiwan would just reenforce that belief.

    That moment has passed when Biden said the Pentagon didn't want her to go. Not sure how they can spin that.

    Your own quote made it clear the Chinese government is making the threat.

    They might be afraid Nancy will bring her husband along and kill a few of their citizens while drunk driving. I'd call that a legitimate concern!

    You are absolutely correct and Biden should have said the same to Xi. Let's see the phone transcript between Biden and Xi. How much you want to bet the WH will claim national security reasons for not releasing it?

    Don't you think the US has enough on it's hands with Russia? Probably the only weapons the US has left is nukes.

    They spun "not a recession" pretty well. The misinformation machine will be just fine.

    The most recent thing I've read is that Pelosi has been rendered mute about going to Taiwan so, once again the Clown Show administration could have avoided America's most recent humiliation if anyone in it had demonstrated even a modicum of competence.
