#7  Somehow I doubt this will work. Bribe Biden and his handlers instead. They already took a ton of money from you and they won't turn down more.

So Pelosi goes over there, plays amazing wonder woman championing US-Taiwan alliance, to... field for this $ billon deal for the MIC? Have I got that right?

I don't know, this statement is what made me think.

State Department says that the deal is 'essential for Taiwan's security

Because I don't think the State Department cares jack shit about anyone's security.

#3  I think they mean... arming the Solomon's or Venezuela! A direct support with arms for Russia against Ukraine would be the stupidest move they could make, triggering a total West boycott of China by NATO.
