Warmongering Republicans Have Throbbing Hard-Ons For Pelosi's Taiwan Trip

• By Caitlin Johnstone

Beijing has made it clear that the first visit to Taiwan by a major US official in decades would be seen as an aggressive escalation and an egregious transgression of Washington's official one-China policy.

"The U.S. side is wrong to believe that it can continue to flagrantly disregard the feelings of the Chinese side on Taiwan without more serious consequences," a Chinese official told the Washington Post in response to the news of Pelosi's planned trip in August, adding that "actors like Nancy Pelosi are committed to destabilizing China under the guise of morality" and that Pelosi has "openly threatened China's development."

Chinese state media put it even more bluntly, stating, "Pelosi's Taiwan visit is a blatant provocation which will surely be met with a forceful response from China, including unprecedented military pressure. She is creating a dangerous moment, placing us on the brink of war. Nobody can guarantee there will be no mishaps."

Pelosi's insane escalation is finding support from some of the worst people on this planet, many of them from the other side of America's illusory political divide.

"Nancy, I'll go with you," tweeted the Trump administration's warmongering secretary of state and CIA director Mike Pompeo. "I'm banned in China, but not freedom-loving Taiwan. See you there!"
