LMAO, Euros are really complaining about "political weapons"? Holy shit, this makes me want Russia to totally cut gas off to these hypocritical cockroaches.
Pelosi flying commercial is less escalatory than flying by US government owned transportation, as that implies her trip is in a personal capacity, not as a government official. It is still escalatory though.Problem with using civilian airline on a regular route is that it is legal. The only "illegal" one is the passenger onboard the aircraft. And that is only illegal according to China's law in Chinese airspace including Taiwan. It would be controversial if PLA intercepts it or block it in international airspace (not counting Taiwan airspace). Theoretically, without going into war with US, PLA can only intercept it after it has entered Taiwan airspace and force it to turn away.
Pointing even more nukes at US pretty much accomplishes nothing. Unless China can shoot down all/most incoming US nukes and first strike US, investment in that is counterproductive.
Biden is going to play good cop and swear he can't do anything to control Pelosi. Not like China can do anything meaningful at this point without hurting itself. Hope China at least significantly boosts its nuke count because the US is going to be increasingly provocative especially with Trump coming back in 2025.
I am sure Europe has outsource maximum what they could otherwise they would not have removed this firm from sanctions.Or they will have to manufacture more in china where titanium is still abundant.
Increasing pressure on supply chain and Russia-Ukraine conflict-induced inflation: o Further inflation on raw materials, freight and energy: an additional estimated c.80bps impact on margin; o Safran sources c.50% of its titanium needs from VSMPO; 2022 supplies now secured; alternative sources being secured.
>Titanium M777 sent to Ukraine,
If Chinese intelligence cannot keep track of such a high profile VIP for such a short period of time, what’s even their point?My post is based on the premises that Taiwan's airspace is Chinese airspace, therefor PLA has no hesitation of acting within.
Flying in and out secretly is my concern. If she does so, how could PLAAF know which aircraft on what day she is flying, let alone doing anything that you suggested? I agree with all your suggestions, the problem is how do we know which one to intercept.
That is true, kind of self-defeating for Pelosi by saying I am scared. Maybe this point alone is enough to make my concern unnecessary.

Well, it does look like gas prices are dropping in Canada, at least in Alberta. Europe is still screwed though.
The republicans are gonna be furious lmao. 125 million barrels already drained from the reserve. With tens of millions more left to drain.
Also looks like Winter Energy prices are gonna go up again. Europe is gonna get hit on 2 fronts lol.
