China says it WILL shoot Pelosi's plane down IF she travels to Taiwan under US fighter escort: Speaker refuses to confirm trip - as Beijing warns it would 'cross a red line' and aircraft carrier holds drills in the South China Sea


China fired its most direct warning shot yet amid reports that House Speaker Nancy Pelosi may visit Taiwan on Friday, saying that if the speaker's plane is accompanied by U.S. fighter jets, they would not rule out shooting them down.

'If US fighter jets escort Pelosi's plane into Taiwan, it is invasion. The PLA has the right to forcibly dispel Pelosi's plane and the US fighter jets, including firing warning shots and making tactical movement of obstruction. If ineffective, then shoot them down,' Hu Xijin, a commentator with the Chinese state-affiliated Global Times, wrote on Twitter.  

Earlier China warned the U.S. against crossing a 'red line' as it released not-so-subtle warnings against the speaker, which China has reasoned is number three in line in U.S. government, from visiting Taiwan.

The U.S. must be prepared to 'bear all consequences' if Pelosi chooses to visit Taiwan, Chinese foreign minister Zhao Lijian said in a briefing Friday.

National Security Spokesman John Kirby said Friday the Pentagon has seen no indication of a military threat.

'We just don't have any concrete indications of something happening from a military perspective on the Chinese part,' Kirby said.

'There's no reason for it to come to come to blows, to come to increased physical tension. There's no reason for that because there's been no change in American policy,' he added.  

The speaker has not confirmed whether she will visit the island democracy during an Asian tour that includes stops in Japan, South Korea, Malaysia and Singapore. In response to a question about the potential Taiwan trip on Friday, Pelosi only said:'I don't talk about my travel because it's a security issue.

The speaker added: 'The President earlier this term talked about a strong emphasis on the Asia Pacific ... and the Congress of the United States will be part of that initiative.'



Still, tensions have mounted over the possibility, with the Chinese navy monitoring the USS Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier's activities in the South China Sea.

The Reagan and its strike group left Singapore on Monday and headed to the South China Sea. The nuclear-powered warship was cruising about 185 km (115 miles) from the contested Fiery Cross Reef on Thursday, according to the South China Post. If the vessels continue in the direction they are headed, they will reach the Taiwan Strait.

Two other vessels - identified by Vietnam-based maritime observer Duan Dang as a Chinese Type 052D destroyer and a Type 054A frigate - were seen 27km and 23km away.

Meanwhile the Chinese navy is conducting military exercises off its southern coast near Guangdong, following exercises in nearby Hainan province.

President Biden said last week the Pentagon thought a Taiwan trip was 'not a good idea.'

'Well, I think that the military thinks it's not a good idea right now,' Biden said in response to a question about Pelosi's reported trip. 'But I don't know what the status of it is.'

I don't pray often, but when I do...

That bold of a threat is actually worth challenging.

Put China in a corner to either put up or shut up.

And if Nancy goes down in flames I'll have a Coke.

Oof I'm really torn on this one

yeah right

Don’t tempt me with a good time.

They would be doing us a favor.

Is there room for the rest of congress on that plane?  We can put some in the baggage area if there are not enough seats up top.

And they really really really mean it this time.

I'm going for broke here. "I triple dog dare ya!"



Crap someone upped the game already.  Well thats 6 dog dares...not sure you can go higher than that.

Sounds great to me let them blow her out of the sky!!!!!!! They would be doing us a favor.........

Not gonna lie, I'm a little torn here.

Beat!

TC

It is kind of a win win.

My response would be, "I double dog dare ya'"

It's a risk I'm willing to take

If she was the only one in it I wouldn’t give 2 shits.

Who would one send bribe money to? Asking for a friend....

I will personally buy her plane ticket if she calls their bluff.

Her drunk ass husband is probably on tic tock now looking for something, and upping the insurance policy.
Hunter Biden is going to be his new wing man

Huh.   I would probably be in trouble if I said something like that.   I guess China gets special privileges or something.

We wouldn't be so lucky for that old witch to die by an SAM missle.

Mr. Ping doesn't have the balls.

Yeah, just remember how many spies...errr... students China has here. When war comes, there're be LOTS of local action ongoing.

I bought some 77gr razor core this week.  I didn’t really think a buck a round is crazy for it, I hear it’s good ammo.

How many other Democrats can they squeeze onto Nancys plane?

Same but gotta do the right thing. Have her plane escorted by a ridiculous show of force in AirPower and sink every ship and down every plane in the area.

And hope chinas hardware is exposed as inferior.

Xi is mad at his puppets.  Noticed that xiden is very quiet when China makes very bold threats against the USA.  Maybe he is compromised?

When is the establishment gonna wake the fuck up and realize we are being beaten just alittle more by China every day.  They wouldn't be saying this shit if they didn't have means to back it up.  There are so many Judas's in d.c. selling us out for Chinese silver.  Then, when the shit hits the fan they will want to sacrifice our children in a war with China.  

This country is so fucked I don't think most people realize it.  Xi will attack Taiwan before his best puppet, xiden leaves office.  Xidens silence on this tells you everything you need to know.

One could only be so lucky, but it won’t matter because they won’t

Tell them free international trip to fuck up American interests and free liquor and I bet you could squeeze quite a few in there.

All joking aside, that would be one helluva bad thing. That means war.

It’s all hot air from China.  And What if China did?
The Leftists aren’t going to war with their Communist utopia they admire (and many get funding from)

Kind of like middle school hitting rules.  If you do something goofy, they get a free punch.

Technical question:

Could we strap her to the pylon of a Reaper or something?  I mean they could keep it down below 10,000 feet or something.

In my book that would be a win/win.  I hate fucking drones.

That's a risk I'm prepared to take.

Quick, someone tell me how i should "really" feel about this.
