Alleged "RUSSIAN" Spies. I guess Russian Spies stuff is en vogue again in America. Let's hope the allegations are true and not some make believe b.s.
On another note, this situation does seem to be life imitating art from the show the Americans.

In the most recent Guanqi last night, Mr Su was was asked how he think this Pelosi visit thing can go down if it comes to blow, given all the prep work he's seen behind the scene in recent weeks. Mu Su said he doesn't think PLA will hit the big button labelled "forceful reunification", however he thinks it's possible that PLA fighters will get first blood.
He describes this possible scenario:
Pelosi and hanger-on fly into Japan, switch to a C-17 and head towards Taiwan with USAF fighter escort. Along the way they are meet with a group of PLAAF fighters. The PLAAF fighters don't get in their face and do aerobatics or anything, just keep distance and shadow.
Suddenly, all USAF fighters get splashed by unseen assailant and go down in flame, only the C-17 remain with the PLAAF fighters still watching silently from some distance. Seeing this the C-17 then turns around and heads back where it came from.
He said previously he said there exists Plan ABCDEFG, in reality there are a lot more different flavours than that and you probably need all the different letters of the alphabet to describe what PLA could do. Reason is once you start planning this thing all sorts of details will start to emerge. What if Pelosi gets on a commercial flight in first class while the back of the plane is filled with innocent people? What if in addition to doing that, at the same time USAF send a C-17 with escort as decoy? PLA have considered all these different scenarios and have a plan for each situation they can think of.
Mr Su also said this is a good test of weather or not US military really is a stabilising force in China-US relations as it's currently understood. If when the day comes you see PLAAF and PLANAF got a crap load of aircraft all around Taiwan it means there's no trust between PLA and US military, so you can stop thinking of them as a stabilising force from now on. If on the other hand a single squadron of PLAAF fighters take off and just happens to run into and intercept Pelosi then you know indeed the US military is a stabilising force and there's been a sudden phone call between them on the day if you know what I mean.

Pelosi Taiwan Trip in Limbo as Officials Plan East Asia Stops
Pelosi should go to Taiwan — when the time is right
North Korea's Kim says country ready to mobilise nuclear war deterrent
Looks like someone in Washington got the hint finally.

Dont think Pelosi will be sent an invite to the reunification ceremony.
Bobby Fischer though American was quite anti-American, supporting bin Laden (the son of a Saudi billionaire) and against the Vietnam War.
I thought there's no recession because the definition of recession is being changed?
Quick calculation says every time they raise 75 basis point that's an extra 213 billion USD worth of interest they have to pay first out of the federal budget, or about 5 more Ukraine war for each such increase.
May I suggest using these Americans in Mexico as forced labor or prison labor.........
Given the convoy would have likely entered or approached Taiwanese airspace to be engaged, is this likely? Surely the pilot will look to land in Taiwan ASAP.
I don't think a commercial plane will change the plan too much. Any offensive craft gets engaged, anything else will either be denied permission to land or forced to land (with non locals arrested).
What did he think about Taiwan's role in this? If he doesn't think reunification will happen then I assume he thinks Taiwan will stand down their airforce and air defences.
