China was not at all happy about the prospects of Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi visiting Taiwan as she had planned. They went so far as to threaten to
shoot down her plane if she attempted to land in the contested nation.
The threat may have worked as Taiwan is not included on the itinerary her office released Sunday morning. Is she bluffing? Does she plan on visiting Taiwan anyway but is keeping it secret for security reasons? Or did she cave? According to
Fox News:
When news broke that Pelosi was going to China, I though, "Why now?" And that was before China threatened to attack her plane if she tried to land there. Has her bad plan been reconsidered?

Do you think China would have made such a threat when DJT was in office? Wait...let's think about that.
Winnie the Poo on the secure phone to the White House: "Mr. Tlump, is it okay to freten to shoot down Mrs. Perosi's airpwane?"
DJT: "Well, I wasn't going to let her travel on one of the Air Force planes, and she's too drunk to fly her broom, but this time, I'll make an exception. Just do me a favor, Xi."
Winnie the Poo: "What flavor, sir?"
DJT: "Make sure you see x-number of parachutes before you actually shoot down the plane."
Winnie the Poo: "Okie-dokie! We can do! See you soon!"
