The U.S. military is readying for possible conflict in the Pacific ahead of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s possible trip to Taiwan in August, according to The Associated Press.
The Pentagon will escalate troop movements and security measures in the Pacific if Pelosi follows through with her planned Taiwan visit. China likely would not attack Pelosi’s plane directly, officials familiar with the matter told the AP, but senior officials worry that her presence could inflame existing tensions between the U.S. and China over Taiwan.
“If there’s a decision made that Speaker Pelosi or anyone else is going to travel and they asked for military support, we will do what is necessary to ensure a safe conduct of their visit,” Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. Mark Milley told the AP. “And I’ll just leave it at that.”

Officials declined to provide specifics but said measures could include fighter jets, ships and surveillance equipment to create redundant shields around Pelosi. China threatened to impose a no-fly zone over Taiwan if Pelosi visits and has dispatched warplanes into Taiwan’s claimed air defense identification zone, CNN reported, as a possible countermeasure.
Nobody in Taiwan gives a shit about Nancy Pelosi or anything she has to say. The only reason she wants to go there is to inflate her drunken ego by creating conflict. If she feels so special, then let her go but no American soldiers should be put at risk for her dumb games. We can only pray she would get shot down.
Sounds like a great reason to remove number 3 in line
So now let’s figure something for number 2
hopefully china will follow thru on its threats
Well > START PREPING because she landed there TODAY !!!! LOL LOL Woooooo
I have been told from reliable sources that the military is a rush to get lots of desert tan vehicles and weapons repainted to the former olive drab.
Or General Silly Milly could wear all his medals, ribbons, patches and shiny stuff and pick up his phone and talk with his pen pal and phonathon buddy at the top of the heap in the Chinese military, just like he did when President Trump was in office. Potential problem solved. And then he could receive the Defense of Taiwan Phone Call commendation and ribbon.
