What a lame stunt by a lame duck wasting millions of dollars for her last gasp junket and stunt to make a name for herself by taking on China, pathetic.

Add to that brandon decided to take out al-zawahri at almost the same time.

It’s no coincidence that’s for sure.

“Let’s see if the CCP has the balls to make good on their threat and take the demon out.....I doubt it.”

I honestly wish they would take her out. It would be one less evil soul in the world, and it would have the remote chance of waking Americans up to the fact that the world isn’t a safe space. If Americans could somehow notice that there are more important things than trying to groom children while teaching them that EVERYTHING revolves around race... it would be a blessing.

Their international policy is 100% politics an 0% common sense and strategy.

Now, we’ll need meetings with the CCP with the obligatory exchange of bags of money - before the invasion.

No surprise that others around the world laugh at us. But still take our money.

If they do attack regarding their promise due to Pelosi’s visit…don’t expect it be a traditional type of attack. They might wait until a few weeks before the election a totally throw everything out of wack. I would expect they’re already on our soil and planned ready to go.
I have no facts to back this up…just history of patient Marxists.

That’s a good way to trigger another 9-11 right there.

“I would expect they’re already on our soil and planned ready to go.”

Probably a safe bet.

Lame Duck? Don't bet on it.

She's thinking about removing Joe and the Kackler before November. She's measuring the WH liquor cabinet.

Wondering what she is up to. Could it be that Taiwan is the largest chip maker in the world and has something to do with her family’s investments?

The F/A-18 Super Hornet Is About to Fly Farther Than Ever Before [2018]

[Why does this matter? Please read on.]

The rise of China and Russia has pushed so-called “big power warfare” to the forefront of national security concerns. China in particular has so-called anti-ship ballistic missiles (ASBMs). These medium-range ballistic missiles, such as the DF-21 mobile missile, are designed to attack aircraft carriers. ASBMs like the DF-21D variant, because of their ballistic trajectory, fast reentry speed, and steep terminal descent angle, are difficult (but not impossible) to intercept. The DF-21D’s maximum range is about 1,100 miles. Until the Navy squares away new tactics to defend against DF-21Ds, that creates a 1,100 mile no-go zone around any location with a DF-21D, which includes pretty much all of the Chinese coastline.

In the meantime, the Navy needs a credible way to hold such ASBMs at risk using its number-one strike asset: carrier-based aircraft. The problem: the U.S. Navy’s F/A-18E/F Super Hornet fleet has a range of just over 500 miles, fully loaded with munitions to hunt ASBM launchers. That means to get the Hornets into the fight, the aircraft carrier, and all 5,000 people on board, must be in range of Chinese missiles.

Who would they attack? The military is flying under the rainbow flag, they already own Congress and the White House, and the rest of the Swamp hates America and freedom as much as they do.

The drawing on the right pretty much nails it.

Nancy is the best friend the CCP ever had.

This is just all for show. Nothing of consequence will happen anyway.

China’s New Aircraft Carrier Killer Is World’s Largest Air-Launched Missile

H I Sutton sheds some light on China’s latest aircraft carrier killer: The CH-AS-X-13 air-launched anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM).

Analysts believe that it may be intended to target high-value warships, particularly aircraft carriers. This makes it an anti-ship ballistic missile (ASBM). And it appears to be carrying a hypersonic glide vehicle (HGV). This may give it extended range and increase survivability against air defenses.
/snip/
The DF-21D is believed to have a range in excess of 1,500 km. The CH-AS-X-13 may have a similar range, or possibly further due to the aerial launch and a hypersonic glide vehicle. Either way, being carried by a bomber will massively increase its overall reach. The H-6N version which carries it has aerial refueling to further increase their range. The CH-AS-X-13 is therefore a threat beyond the first island chain and South China Sea. It could potentially hit targets in the vast expanse of the Pacific Ocean, or Indian Ocean.

Even if the missile has this incredible range it will face challenges reaching its full potential. Finding and tracking an aircraft carrier at extreme ranges may be the Achilles’ heel. And a lot may depend on the survivability of the bomber itself, and the number of aircraft available for the mission.
