Quite the costly temper tantrum.

Of course they did.

This kind of exercises are not prepared in 5; it is a hoax to imagine is a response at Mrs Pelosi trip. Any military knows that.

Seeing many folks saying “China weak” “empty threat” etc. And I tend to agree. Then why are we cheering for our politicians spending time, money & efforts on all these counter-China stuffs, while dont do shit on domestic issues?

China appears to be about as unbalanced as North Korea.

Show of force!

....Let the 'fake wars' begin?

Axios: Might be worth covering how Chinas banking/real estate system is collapsing right now. Evergrande. Look it up. Polosi isn’t worried because the CCP is shook up about tanking 60% of its national wealth.

So what? A week from now nobody will have remembered. It’s all bluster and Pelosi didn’t back down.

US will be gathering intelligence and China will spend a good deal of money for the show of force.

This administration’s response

“You hurt my feelings, so I’m going to have a bit of a tantrum…”

RadCentrism TF

Bunch of 💩 communist cowards

Like showboating, but 100% more pathetic.

She's gone they wanted her away she left calm the f🦆 down.

Ah yes, the Chinese hissy fit continues….

Just another Chinese fire drill…

So she managed to get out? Damn.

Oh China take a chill pill….. Good Lord get over yourself…… 🙄

Whatever. I’m so tired of this shit. Russia and China too! Fuck around and find out.

Someone in Taiwan needs to warn the Chinese pilots that Pelosi has already left. China has shown itself to be weak and without honor. China LOST.

All because of Pelosi visit, CCP is pathetic.

We did not create the crisis. Our actions are based on our laws.

They literally won't do anything. Showboating.
