Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has condemned US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's trip to Taiwan, branding it a display of American disregard for international norms.
"It was the drive to prove to everyone their impunity and to act accordingly. 'I do whatever I want', something like that," the minister told journalists on Wednesday. "I can hardly imagine any other reason to create a flashpoint out of thin air, despite knowing what it would mean for China."
Pelosi arrived on the self-governed Chinese island on Tuesday and met its leader Tsai Ing-wen, despite repeated warnings from Beijing to stay away. The third highest-ranking US official praised Taiwan as a fellow "democracy" and pledged American support for it against "autocratic" China.
Washington formally acknowledges that Taiwan is part of China, but maintains a close informal relationship with its administration despite switching diplomatic recognition from Taipei to Beijing in 1979.
The Chinese government has repeatedly said that trips by US officials encourage separatist forces on the island and thus violate China's territorial integrity.
Comment: In other words, just as Russia had a red line regarding NATO expansions, this is China's red line.
Amid the uncertainty last week over whether Pelosi's then-rumored visit to Taiwan would take place, China warned that the US was "playing with fire" and that there will be consequences, if it happened.
The Chinese military has since launched a massive military exercise near Taiwan - which the island's government claimed virtually amounted to a blockade - and imposed some trade restrictions, banning Taiwanese firms from buying sand and selling some food products.
Question is, who exactly is the one putting them in charge and who is profiting from this malfeasance?
Answer is simple, look at the global organizations like WEF, WHO et al.
They've started this circus with so-called "Covid" and to succesfully manage a GLOBAL gov't, they need only a FEW things - mass depop & chipping of the pop' using Vaxxination against all kinds of viruses, leveling the standard of living to third world countries across the globe (in process, that's why US & EU have to commit harakiri first) and last ensuring that the famine, industrial and financial (petrodollar) collapse is so WIDESPREAD, that people will accept their "saviors" in the guise of UN, WHO & WEF to dictate the rest of their lives (eat bugs, drive in electro-crap, wear recycled plastic and ultimately become future Soylent Green for the sub-elite of psychopathic MANAGERIAL class)..
We're somewhere in the middle of the process already, if nothing throws them out of balance in the next few years, I see their grim logic coming to fruition, as the masses were always herded towards the slaughterhouse succesfully to the point it's encoded in their DNA..
But we could still fight on the individual level, even if the masses are asses.. Better die a lion than live a dog, sorry but NO SORRY.. We built what is Europe & America nowadays and we won't go without a fight after all these centuries, globo-shlomo Schwab's and Schwabettes
