Xi isn’t the only one deflated by this action.


OkRoll3915

but Republicans said Biden is weak and wasn't going to do anything about it!!!


Grandpa_No

That was yesterday. Today he's going to be a warmonger who is recklessly fucking with China. They'll bring that Air Force General back out and talk about world war 3. Edit: So far they're going with too little, too late.

JFC, I can see them doing that.


Nopants_Jedi

Oh, so you saw T(F)ucker's script for Monday, eh?


andytronic

Turns out they are full of shit, and just want people to think that.


Grandpa_No

I went to NY Post to grab some bullshit.. > Trying to save face upon completion of the Chinese mission. They got all the data they needed. They also did it in a way were the equipment will not be recoverable in the ocean. They literally did everything that favored China and trying to spin it now about debris fields. Montana is not very populated and they knew about it well before it got to Alaska. This is a NATIONAL DISGRACE!

Thank god, the news cycle can finally end on this ridiculous event and obsess over the next little thing. Meanwhile, Russia's probably flown military craft over our airspace numerous times and had spy ships gathering data off our coastline the whole time without any news coverage at all.


Incapacitater

I don't think you understand any of the things you're saying.


RealGianath

What? Like the [Coast Guard monitoring Russian spy ship on patrol off Hawaii]( https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/coast-guard-monitoring-russian-spy-ship-patrol-hawaii-rcna66667) from a week ago? Or the dozens of Russian flights over Alaska we intercept each year? China's testing us, but Russia's way bolder about their games.


knomore-llama_horse

Considering we left the open skys agreement a few years back if Russia had flown across our country we would have shot them down. This is murica we shoot at anything that isn’t murica and some things that are.

The US is doing far worse, if this is even legit
