You were utterly convinced Trump would be president about 3 months after he actually lost the election so I’ll take what you think about him with a punch of salt.

Fair enough but watch what happens in the American mid terms in November.

Is this the same Arthur Snell
Who helped produce the
The Steele dossier, also known
as the Trump–Russia dossier ?

More likely to be a response to 4 U.S warships & Fighter jets being near Taiwan than Nancy

If nobody takes a stand against these commies, they'll take Taiwan, just like Hong Kong, Ukraine.

Pelosi was advised by all sides not to go to Taiwan but went anyway. And for what?

Nothing to do with burying bad news about her husband's drink driving charge...

What makes you think nukes are going to be used ?
Surely Putin would have used them already
in Ukraine & that "Special operation " would have been done in a week wouldnt it ?

Yes , that’s a fair point but when it comes to Taiwan America have made some bold statements of support. In my opinion it’s a matter of when , not if China invades .I have a feeling we’re going to get the answer to that.
