MSM Response to Pelosi’s Effrontery

The NYT tried having things both ways.

Notorious prostitute of the press, Thomas Friedman, surprisingly argued against her visit.

Correctly calling it “utterly reckless, dangerous and irresponsible,” he added:

“Nothing good will come of it.” 

“Taiwan will not be more secure or more prosperous as a result of this purely symbolic visit, and a lot of bad things could happen.”

“These include a Chinese military response that could result in the US being plunged into indirect conflicts with a nuclear-armed Russia and a nuclear-armed China at the same time.”

Clearly, the risk/reward ratio is lopsided toward the former.

And Pelosi’s visit is more indisputable evidence of US abhorrence of peace, stability and the rule of law.

The Times’ resident right-wing extremist, Bret Stephens, applauded her provocation, saying:

“If Beijing had gotten its way over something as seemingly minor as Pelosi’s visit (sic), it would…have changed the rules of the game (sic). 

“(I)t would have hastened a strategic disaster (sic): the further isolation of a democratic US ally (sic) and key economic partner (sic) as a prelude to surrender, war or both (sic).”

There’s nothing “minor” about what China considers a major provocation, what demands a harsh response.

Taiwan is sovereign Chinese territory. 

Arriving on the island without Beijing’s permission — by Pelosi and other US officials — flagrantly breached the rule of law.

If someone enters the US without authorization, the empire of lies and forever wars reserves the right to arrest, detain prosecute and imprison them.

Its double standard on the world stage needs no further elaboration.

Along with falsely calling China a “bully” — what indisputably applies to how hegemon USA operates worldwide — Stephens defied reality by accusing Beijing of “impos(ing) dictatorial control over Hong Kong (sic).”

On July 1, 1997, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region of the People’s Republic of China (HKSAR) became its sovereign territory after 156 years of exploitive British colonization.

And this Stephens extremism:

“Congressional delegations ought to arrive in Taiwan every week for the next year (sic).”

And this unacceptable remark:

The fake Biden “should formally state (that hegemon USA) will intervene militarily if China seeks to invade Taiwan” — its own territory.

Stephens also called for throwing more US weapons and munitions at Taiwan.

Ignoring the overly bloated US military budget — for war-making, not defense — Stephens urged further “sharp increases (sic).”

Separately, the Times admitted that “Pelosi’s (hostile to China) Taiwan visit risks undermining US efforts with” regional nations — by heightening possible direct Sino/US confrontation.

In response to Pelosi’s recklessly dangerous visit, WaPo editors called for Biden regime damage control actions to contain things.

Expressing support for Taiwan v. China, WaPo slammed how Pelosi is pursuing it, ignoring warnings to stay away.

“No thanks to (her, the Biden regime) finds itself forced to react and improvise” in response to justifiable Beijing fury over her arrival in Taipei.

WaPo published her litany of bald-faced Big Lies on why she’s in Taiwan, saying:

Hegemon USA “made a solemn vow (to) defen(d) Taiwan (sic)” — ignoring that it’s sovereign Chinese territory.

The empire of lies and forever wars “stands with Taiwan (sic)” — no matter the risk of direct confrontation with China.

Saying the island’s 23 million people and “millions of others (are) oppressed and menaced by the PRC” included no corroborating evidence because there is none.

Pelosi wholeheartedly supports and encourages what freedom-loving people everywhere abhor — what rule of law principles don’t tolerate.

A special place in hell awaits her — and likeminded US/Western war criminals.
