I'm thinking a lot of Pelosi's bluster about solidarity with Taiwan is just that. The US, especially lately, has a habbit of getting its dick out and threatening to fuck everyone in the room. Only to zip up after being told to shut up. I think Pelosi will pull out at the eleventh hour for "reasons".

Anyone with a sound mind does. The problem is they're all corrupt in one way or another and are on some hook. They're compromised. And so behave as if they're dummies.

Wow, how enlightening!

LET ME SPELL IT OUT FOR YOU!

REALLY NEW - FOR ME - NOT THE BS OF OLD FROM WHICHEVER FRACTION OF THE SYNAGOGUE OF SATAN. ALTHOUGH I AM PRETTY SURE THIS WORDS SOUND TO YOU LIKE CLATTER OF OLD POTS. BUT DON'T WORRY, I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO ONE'S WANDERINGS IN LIFE'S MAZE.
