Nancy Pelosi’s visit to Taiwan is a symbolic move in the context of a war for geopolitical advantage. Her critics, not unreasonably, decry it as a gesture that might carry very painful consequences for the world and for the human species. President Biden, citing his own military, is said to have disapproved of the visit. That he presents himself to the world as a leader who cannot reign in the country’s No.3, or who lacks the authority to simply instruct the commanders of Pelosi’s military escorts to damn well turn back, with Pelosi inside a cage if needs be, seals his image as either hopelessly weak or shamefully complicit in some filthy maneuver. Either one of these is extremely unlikely to be to the advantage of anyone in the USA who is not a part of the neocon cabal that dominates US foreign policy.
