WAR?? China said that it could shoot down Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plane if she makes a Taiwan stop, a move he said (a mouthpiece) is tantamount to an "invasion"; can shoot down Pelosi!
"The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the U.S. fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction. If ineffective, then shoot them down."
“China Warns: Pelosi Trip Marks ‘Invasion’ and Military Has Right to Fire on Her Plane”
I share this as this is dangerous talk!
IMO this is war! I am not getting into the politics here for I think a wrong move for her to do this now, to inflame this situation, wrong move, and at this time given Russia and China uniting etc. but that is separate debate. The key issue is we have enough problems in the US at present to be provoking this. The speaker and democrats and corrupted republicans can spend time fixing our internal ills and helping our nation. FIRST.
Let us focus. If China did this however, if they shot at the plane of the speaker, and if the speaker is harmed, then it is full war and we then must retaliate using the full might of the US military and all!
I think he is talking smack, this mouth piece, but he is dangerous for a mistake and accidents can happen. He needs to roll this back and apologize to the US.
We DO NOT need the Chinese knock off shit anymore, let them keep it, if they did this, if they shot down the speaker’s plane and she is harmed, be prepared for full war! I know this will not happen but my outrageous reply should match this Chinese idiot’s outrageous statement. Don’t go threatening to shoot down people planes.
“A Chinese Communist Party mouthpiece said on Friday that it could shoot down Democratic House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's plane if she makes a stop in Taiwan, a move he said is tantamount to an "invasion" of the island.
"If U.S. fighter jets escort Pelosi’s plane into Taiwan, it is invasion," Hu Xijin, an analyst for the Chinese state-controlled Global Times propaganda outlet, said on Twitter. "The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi’s plane and the U.S. fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction. If ineffective, then shoot them down."
USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier sails near contested Fiery Cross Reef, with Chinese warships seen nearby
Military analyst says it's likely to provide an escort for the US House speaker if she proceeds with trip to Taiwan
As tensions mount over US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's potential trip to Taiwan, the Chinese navy has been monitoring the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier's activities in the South China Sea.
The nuclear-powered warship was cruising about 185km (115 miles) from the contested Fiery Cross Reef in the Spratlys chain on Thursday, according to publicly available satellite images.
Yea, no. She is going there as a virtue signal. She represents California, she is not a diplomat. If they shoot her plane down when there, they should be given an award for doing the world a favor. Absolutely no reason to retaliate
What is the reason she needs to go to Taiwan? Securing more Biolabs? Securing more of her money laundering? I say fill the entire airplane with our top government officials, shoot them all down!
