It would be an objectively terrible decision w/r/t starting WW3 but it would be really funny if "shot down by the chinese" was part of Pelosi's biography.

the chinese are too smart to shoot down pelosi. why would you take down someone who single-handedly renders the government of your main geopolitical rival completely ineffectual? doesn't the uk have like literally four nuclear subs? even if they sent every single one of the fuckers i doubt that you could call it a fleet even being as charitable as possible

God between that tweet thread about how much national GDPs reflect the actual productive economy and their sad little navy it's really amazing how completely hollowed out the modern UK is. There's no "there" there, they don't make anything, they don't have that many resources, their military sucks, and so on. They're really just coasting on the surplus they stole from their colonies and the fact that they speak English. They're the failsons of history.

China has already talked to wsj and reuters abput responding to Pelosi visit, that means China has talked to major western media and made the world pay attention. They are basically keep adding chips on the table for this hand. I am reading this as the military response is ready. If Pelosi is coming on a business jet, China probably will send war planes to block the way; if Pelosi take a commercial airline secretly, China probably will test new missiles over Taiwan island, like the 95 cross strait crisis. So, most likely outcome is Pelosi chicken out and US send a high position military officer to save face.

I assume they’ll just fly PLA aircraft near Taiwan or maybe the airport Pelosi’s plane lands at and then call it a day. Also US-China relations will take a dive

there's no reason for the speaker of the house to be doing this, she's just an obstinate geratric type that wants to create an international incident basically on a personal whim

You can't rule out London as the place to develop and test exciting new ways to do financial crimes. It's basically subsidizing the rest of the country

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:i'm catching up with the story, and the white house is (reportedly) talking her down. i dunno. newt gingrich visited in 1997 when he was a speaker, so i assume shooting nancy out of the sky is probably not going to happen. '97 china was still powering up its SSJ transformation tho. today's china is SSGSS.

The measures under consideration include moving aircraft carriers or sending fighter planes for close air support. That, in turn, could be misinterpreted by the Chinese side as an aggressive rather than a defensive measure. no ones flying commercial

You don't want to drive your carrier too close to the enemy radars and land based aircraft.. Last time a US carrier went through the Taiwan strait was in the Bush era. I don't remember which Bush.

S. Korea should be 'cautious' in deciding on joining U.S.-led chip alliance: ICT minister This is actually pretty big news that nobody is talking about. US wants SK to join the "Chip 4" alliance which is basically an anti-China fab alliance, except 60% of SK's semiconductor sales goes to China. So US is giving SK a deadline of end of August to give an answer. This Yoon guy is pro US, but Korean Chaebol is serious business. If he insist on SK joining the hip4 in defiance of Samsung and SK Hynix, he will soon find himself in a Korean cult scandal. I think ultimately US has to lower the "chip4" standard in order to include S. Korea. Maybe allow the SK companies to decide themselves or something. But it would be pretty funny if SK publicly announce they are not joining the "Chip4". What an egg on Biden's face. It would like call your team "Fantastic Four", you pencil your wife and your brother-in-law in your team but you can't get the rock guy to join.

years ago i read something by a crank climate scientist who said all the IPCC projections were far too conservative and that the climate was going to worsen drastically because the carbon in the atmosphere would start a feedback loop much quicker than the IPCC predicts which would then cause the earth to become similar to venus within a few decades, and that any action on climate was probably too late by the 90s

it's called the hockey stick effect, or also the clathrate gun: global warming "unlocks" reservoirs of greenhouse gases that were previously frozen, which suddenly kicks global warming into much higher gear than a steady drumbeat

papua new guinea has been having an election, and things look to be getting violent https://news.pngfacts.com/2022/07/png-army-takes-control-of-port-moresby.html quote:The National Security Advisory Committee (NSAC) is meeting at 3pm today to discuss not only the Port Moresby issue, but other issues that have disrupted the electoral process right across the country. https://www.rnz.co.nz/international/pacific-news/471570/authorities-describe-png-violence-as-disturbing-inhuman quote:It was just the latest in election related or tribal violence during the voting, which was into the last days of counting, with the writs expected to be returned by Friday. election results are going to be announced on friday, violence is probably likely then too. this violence doesn't seem all that much worse than it was during the last election in 2017, which is to say this doesn't look like some kind of color revolution, government overthrow, or impending coup or anything, but still not great.
