Zuker somehow thinks being indefinitely detained for political protest in a fascist authoritarian regime is far fetched? Literally just as a 7-year sentence for a $20 THC vape cartridge was handed down to an American athlete today.

For all the idiot liberals here pounding their chests and cheering on Pelosi's visit to Taiwan, this shows why it was better not to stir the pot  (in other breaking news, looks like Paul Pelosi had drugs in his system when he was pinched with the DUI)

China set to begin effective Taiwan blockade hours after Nancy Pelosi concludes visit

Just curious, is there any country in the world you don't desperately want America to surrender to?

You're once again working under the assumption that Zuker read any of what he posted.

You genuinely are too stupid for words.

I'll take that as a no. You would have been afraid of King George in 1776.

Pretty soon all the people who knelt down when Trump visited North Korea will pop up to complain about Nancy.

And the ones who ****ed about Trump will be at her crotch. 🤔

I honestly don’t understand how people are this stupid. Even many Western European countries don’t really have free speech rights. The freaking UK will arrest you for giving someone anxiety online or teaching a dog to raise its paw when you say sieg heil. And you’re going to go to China and protest the CCP?

Why in the hell would you go to freaking China and try to make a political statement? Or use drugs in Russia?

This is like the Darwin Special Olympics of international travel.

I'll take it a step further. I wouldn't even think about stepping foot in a place like Russia or China these days at all... much less do ANYTHING AT ALL that draws attention to myself while I'm there.

Could you imagine how the herd here would have reacted if it were, let's say, a Republican Speaker of the House was going to Taiwan this week instead of Pelosi.

Ok tough guy - tell me your stance on the JCPOA

Nobody said sheet when Gingrich did it.  Sorry.

That was over 25 years ago when tensions were not high.  There was not a hot war in Eastern Europe.  The twin towers were still standing.  So what is your point again?

The only reason I'm here is because I really detest any comment related to the twin towers.  You bring that up - then it truly is WAR.

 

And you're about to get your ass kicked.

 

Next. 

 

 

It's like this:

Russia: 99.4% intercept rate

China: 99.7% intercept rate.

 

USA: 92% success hit rate.

 

Go ahead.  

Let's get down to business.

Everyone likes to talk. Let's get down to business.

You asked.

"Still, when Gingrich was there, relations between Washington and Beijing were already in crisis over the island’s status: After Taiwan’s president gave a speech in 1995 at Cornell University, his alma mater in New York, China fired unarmed missiles into the sea near Taiwan in 1996, and held military exercises in the Taiwan Strait. President Bill Clinton then sent two aircraft carriers and more than a dozen warships to the region."

Never heard of Chechnya? Also not sure what the twin towers have to do with Taiwan.

Interesting point you raise.  The Chechyan rebels had a lot of bad actors, terrorists, in their group.  The U.S. turned a blind eye to the Russian crackdown and likely supported it behind the scenes.  At the time, Clinton had a bromance with Yeltsin before the blanket hatefest of Russians was plastered all over the media.  You may recall the series of apartment building bombings in Moscow in 99 that were blamed on the rebels.  So it really was a different sort of a conflict.

That being said, I believe it was @Eaglesfandan who pointed out Bill Clinton's response to China when they protested Newt Gingrich's visit to Taiwan.  I think we all would feel more comfortable with a Bill Clinton from that era in the WH than we do with the current adminstration.

Cool story, still not sure why it matters or how the twin towers fit in
