  • US Deploys Aircraft Carrier On China’s Doorstep As Taiwan Tensions Ramp Up

    The USS Ronald Reagan Carrier Strike Group has been redeployed to the South China Sea following a visit to Singapore, resuming operations in the area despite recent tension between the US and China, Reuters reported Thursday.

    The strike group “is continuing normal, scheduled operations as part of her routine patrol in support of a free and open Indo-Pacific,” Commander Hayley Sims told Reuters. This return comes during an extended diplomatic battle between the United States and China regarding a potential visit by Democratic Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, according to Reuters.

      Supposedly old Joe and Xi are supposed to be talking today. Hopefully this comes up and its one of Joe's better days and he understands what's going on around him and doesn't start regalling everyone about one of his made up adventures. I mean, this is how wars start.

          Or when he and Xi travelled 17,000 miles around the foothills of the Himalayas, while deciding on a one-word definition of America.

              Joe doesn't have a clue how to negotiate with China, and they happily take advantage of his ignorance every single time he sits down at the bargaining table.

                Nothing says "We care about the common man" more than posing in a designer jacket while two soldier stand like props in the background.

                  I see a site in another language with pictures. Not sure what I'm supposedly 'wrong' about.

                    I seem to have forgotten my recent history, but when did Donald and Melania Trump pose for glamour photos while the country was at war and the people were suffering?

                      Lesse, should we go with her designer outfit complete with her "I don't really care" jacket on her visit to a children's shelter containing kids taken from their parents by her husband, or her grand 3 hour visit and photo op in another designer outfit (~$2000 outfit) in Afghanistan December 2018? Etc..

                      So you got nothing. Gotcha.

                        Surely you recognize the difference between wearing designer clothes during a diplomatic visit versus posing for glamour photos for a fashion magazine. Your attempted "whataboutism" is tremendous stretch. Come on, Gond, I know you are capable of being more reasonable than this.

                          Melania posed for photo ops for her whole 3 hour visit in 2k+ designer clothes in Afghanistan (which was during the war). (that wasn't a diplomatic visit, BTW, that was a short chance for a photo op around Christmas with troops in a war zone)

                          And her visit with her designer 'I don't really care' outfit was not a diplomatic visit, it was a visit to a facility holding young children her husband had stolen from their parents for the 'crime' of traveling across the border.

                          I'm sorry you didn't expect your challenge to be answered and now are trying to backpedal with 'but that's different!'.

                            Right, visiting the troops, and visiting the border are identical to posing for glamour photos for Vogue magazine.

                            You are engaged in H_A level trolling.

                              I didn't say they were 'identical' - seems you're the one pulling the H_A nonsense. But they are on par, when your 'visit' is nothing more than a photo op dolled up in expensive designer clothes. But we both know that no matter what example I supply, your hypocrisy (and your hatred of Zelensky and love of Putin) won't allow you to accept it.
