Nancy Pelosi JUST Landed in Taiwan | Provoking War.

worried about war get life insurance in

as little as five minutes by going to

metcalfer.com life well buckle up for

some saber rattling nancy pelosi has

landed in the capital of taiwan she took

the plane that was tracked the spartan

it's an air force a plane and she landed

as expected in taiwan now china has

responded to this and nancy pelosi has

responded to this and you gotta know the

details of this quick background taiwan

is an island in east asia it sits at the

intersection of the east and south china

seas so it's strategically pretty

important and to some degree taiwan

maintains a pretty good democratic

standing in the world in fact some say

that taiwan's democracy might be more

democratic than even that of canada

which is pretty incredible now with

taiwan's interesting because to the

north west you have china to the

northeast you have japan to the bottom

of the philippines

and it ranks 20th in the world in gdp

per capita or per head right and so

taiwan only maintains official

diplomatic relations with about 13 out

of 193 countries but unofficially a lot

of countries support taiwan because it's

a pretty industrialized nation had a big

boom throughout the 60s 70s 80s and 90s

and china lays claim to the island of

taiwan china says no this is our land we

are the governing body of taiwan taiwan

has its own government and so this

creates a lot of tension because the

official u.s policy is that china

controls taiwan but unofficially people

like nancy pelosi and a lot of folks who

support and really stand for that

democracy element are pushing which we

don't want to get into the politics of

do we think nancy pelosi stands for

democracy or not right but

a lot of folks see taiwan as

independent and it should be independent

even though that's not the official u.s

policy so what kind of reaction have we

gotten well china's pissed and here's

what china's saying china says now

they're going to hold military drills

around taiwan they're going to encircle

the island and between august 4th and

7th they are going to hold military

drills so watch for this especially if

you're you're trying to trade on this

sort of news that will be wednesday

thursday and a friday they say that

consequences are to be borne by the u.s

side and taiwan for these actions and

that the u.s should stop interfering

with china's internal affairs that this

takes the us and taiwan down a wrong and

dangerous path and those who play with

fire will perish by it yes these are

statements from china and the chinese

foreign ministry which condemn pelosi's

visit to taiwan which is the first visit

of someone as powerful as pelosi which

again arguable for for some people

depending on if you're left on the right

but she is the third technically third

most powerful person in america and is

the first time somebody that powerful

has visited taiwan since

1997.

the chinese foreign ministry says this

seriously damages peace and stability in

the taiwanese strait and provides stern

representations and a strong protest to

the u.s they say this impacts the

political foundation between the united

states and china and is unacceptable

nancy pelosi has her response actually

published in an op-ed piece by the

washington post she mentions china's

atrocities against the we grew so that's

genocide potentially by china against

the uigrus maybe we should even drop the

word potentially there we also have

nancy pelosi highlighting drama in tibet

and hong kong

she also mentions that china has had a

recent unacceptable rhetoric and action

against taiwan that we must stand by

democracy and that again while u.s

policy remains the same

you must honor your verbal commitment to

support and defend taiwan again official

u.s policy is that technically the

taiwanese government is not recognized

however because the us is such a big

proponent of democracy they have vowed

to support and defend taiwan although if

that's anything like the support that

ukraine got which was kind of like

chippens then then maybe that's not too

valuable so this is a very kind of

symbolic meeting some folks argue that

wait a minute why like what is what is

the point of this and really the point

of this to some degree some people say

this is like kicking china while they're

down because they're having a massive

issue with their economy in terms of a

real estate collapsing they're having to

stimulate their economy meanwhile the

united states is in a recession so like

who's doing it better anyway obviously

the chinese government is trying to

prove that their government is stronger

than the style of the united states form

of government again u.s and recession

and then of course they've been

criticized for their covet zero policy

but why would pelosi go well in my

opinion it's really a purposefully

proving that the us still retains a

global and regional dominance it's

basically saying hey that's cute china

that you think we're playing with fina

with fire but we stand for democracy and

we don't really give a flying f what you

think because we are a regional and

global hegemon which is essentially a

power force and we know you actually

won't do anything other than hold some

drills or rattle your sabers because

that's also what you did in 1997 uh when

dude gingrich went over to taiwan you

launched a few missile missiles that you

splashed into the ocean and uh gg now

some people say that this is very

dangerous because if china holds

military drills and you know the

taiwanese military gets nervous or the

u.s defense forces get nervous that

maybe there could be an accident which

could lead to a larger breakout of of

conflict but really what what you really

have here are massive sound bites coming

from nancy pelosi

trying to show how strong democracy is

it's really kind of probably a political

move especially with the 2022 midterm

elections coming up and uh her dominance

in the house of representatives and also

uh the democrats power in the senate up

for question a lot of folks saying we're

going to have a big sweep of republicans

and that they'll be in control of both

chambers uh and that will leave biden as

a lame duck we'll see but really what

you're getting here are threats and

sound bites from both sides i don't

actually think there's anything to be

nervous up here i'm like 95 certain this

is just going to be just like what we

saw throughout the last decade and

especially 2018 where you have a bunch

of saber rattling and maybe some

sanctions here there or whatever like

you had with trump uh and and chip

sanctions and other sanctions but folks

really in my opinion this is uh this is

sort of like a a little bit of a

stressful event that creates this fear

of like oh no but what if there's a war

between china and the united states it's

not gonna happen i don't see it

happening and if anything the united

states would probably dominate china uh

quite quite legitimately let's just do a

quick comparison

china has gotten pretty good with a

shorter and medium-range domestic

missiles uh like they could hit guam and

maybe some bases in japan pretty well

they've also got some pretty good

counter space technology which would be

a way of sort of taking off u.s

satellites by uh you know flooding them

with infrared or some sort of jamming

equipment they're pretty good in these

two sectors

so again counter space that's when you

attack satellites or

like shorter term attacks maybe

attacking american forward bases but

after that

china i don't know good luck why because

the united states has substantial air

superiority with their f-22s and f-35

fifth generation aircrafts china still

uh only about fifty percent gen four and

fifty percent stuff from like the

nineties like gen twos and threes their

air defenses are strong like they're

surface-to-air missiles their sams are

good but the us has a good advantage

against these the us has substantial

precision strike weapons the chinese

anti-surface a warfare missiles like

being able to uh basically try to target

u.s and naval ships or aircraft carriers

has gotten stronger but realistically

doesn't stand a chance against the

united states defenses

now you do have 41 submarines that china

has and they have a pretty big naval

fleet in fact some say their naval fleet

is larger when you start counting all of

the smaller units that they have you've

got about 360 ships the us has about 297

but a lot of these are small patrol

vessels and the fact of the matter is

the united states against china is

estimated to be able to completely sink

40 of the chinese navy in just seven

days and then go around and do cleanup

after that china's probably got about a

thousand nukes we've got somewhere

around six times as many of those

we've got uh air power we've got 13 000

military aircraft china has 2500 that

means we've got about 5x china has more

ground forces they've got a military

about 2 million personnel large

u.s has about 1.3 plus 800 k reserves

but when you look at actual ground

forces yeah it's still true the u.s has

about half the size of around 500k china

at around 915k however the people's

liberation army of china is deemed to

have pretty old equipment and even

though they've got more personnel it

just means they have to spend a larger

portion of their budget on personnel

rather than actual quality equipment

that can help them win the fight this is

where the u.s is deemed to have a big

advantage and the us spends like four

times as much money on the military as

china does uh maybe a little less than

four times but close to that the united

states spending on our defense budget is

778 billion dollars it's 39 of the

entire globe's military expenses china

spends about 252 billion dollars and

they're ramping but remember a lot of

this is going to personnel and that's

actually why they're trying to reduce

the size of their personnel count in

their military because they realize this

large personnel account is actually

weighing them down

anyway this whole pelosi nonsense in my

opinion a big nothing burger if anything

might give you a little bit of a buy the

dip opportunity thanks so much for

watching good luck out there make sure
