Speaker Pelosi has duties and vision beyond most of us.
Somethings cant be spoken. But I predict she goes sooner than later

(5,850 posts)Act against the President's wishes. He should be handling foreign policy. Nancy should save her energies for domestic policy. There's so much to do. These aren't normal times.

(51,308 posts)Can someone explain it simply for a person not immersed in news?
But my answer is no...basing that on President Biden's opinion.

(8,708 posts)I understand that there are diplomatic reasons why you do and do not do certain things, but at the same time, fuck China for thinking it can dictate what our sovereign leaders do.
I didn't vote one particular way, but I would lean towards "yes." Or, perhaps some negotiations can be done where China makes certain assertions on the global stage -- e.g., it will not interfere in the current state of Taiwan -- in exchange for Pelosi not visiting. I would be in favor of that. But China simply dictating what OUR leaders can and cannot do? Fuck that.

(51,308 posts)That's a stupid way to think. (not meaning you necessarily, just that way of thinking) I know what you mean, but it's like a 12 year old. She doesn't HAVE to do anything.
Fuck that. Situations change, issues are always in flux.
She's a powerful woman who can do what she wants. I think she's making a mistake if she goes ahead with this. I still don't get why she's doing it.
