U.S. general predicts war with China in 2025, tells officers to get ready
“I hope I am wrong. My gut tells me will fight in 2025," said Gen. Mike Minihan in a memo sent to the officers he commands and obtained by NBC News.www.nbcnews.com
Wasn't that Vlad's problem? Trump's too, not taking reasonable expert advise and doubling down on stupid.
That made no sense whatsoever, unless your aim was to deflect away from the cowardice the authoritarian right demonstrated over this incident.
Yes there are morons about.agreed
I don't think China is that stupid and if it is, it's time for Xi to go too, there are other opportunities in central Asia at Russia's expense. It would be economic suicide for them followed by political trouble, if they went for Taiwan instead of the path of least resistance to the west where there is oil and NG. They just have to look at Vlad's folly to realize what going up against allied liberal democracies would be like. Once defeated in Ukraine Russia will be as useful as tits on a bull to China, except to rip off what little cash they will have left. China has one man lifetime rule and for political change to happen that life must be shortened or they will have to lock Xi up, one man rule always ends badly.
Do ya think Zelenskiy argues much with his top general? A man who by all accounts is a successful expert in his field, killing Russians. Think Joe argues much with his generals over military matters? Winners don't do that shit, or think they can nuke hurricanes, one of the few times he listened to someone. Perhaps they told him the fallout would affect the property values of his Florida golf courses? It is a mystery how they talked him out of that brain fart.
I don't trust politicians. And it doesn't matter if it's a threat or not it's an incursion at the very least. And in turn it shows both Canada and United States to be weak in the eyes of Chinese communist party. Do you honestly believe China would allow a spy balloon from the United States or Canada to float freely over to our country?
It shocks me that Americans can be so Un-American.
Yep, about fucking time.
Downing of Chinese Spy Balloon Ends Chapter in a Diplomatic Crisis (Published 2023)
The balloon, spotted earlier this week over the western United States, was brought down when an F-22 fighter jet fired an air-to-air missile at it off the coast of South Carolina.www.nytimes.com
U.S. Shoots Down Chinese Spy Balloon Off the Coast of the Carolinas
The airborne surveillance device was first spotted earlier this week over the western United States, setting off a diplomatic crisis.
WASHINGTON — The United States shot down a Chinese spy balloon on Saturday that had spent the last week traversing the country, American officials said, an explosive end to a drama that put a diplomatic crisis between the world’s two great powers onto television screens in real time.
The balloon, which spent five days traveling in a diagonal southeast route from Idaho to the Carolinas, had moved off the coast by midday Saturday and was over the Atlantic Ocean. The Federal Aviation Administration had paused departures and arrivals at airports in Wilmington, N.C., and in Myrtle Beach and Charleston in South Carolina, which the agency said was meant to “support the Department of Defense in a national security effort.”
President Biden had hinted at the move earlier on Saturday. “We’re going to take care of it,” Mr. Biden told reporters in Syracuse, N.Y., where he was visiting family members after the death of his brother-in-law.
lol. The balloon could not have entered Canada and United States air space before it got here. That's a physical impossibility. Try again. The US could only have shot it down if it offered a real threat or, as it so happened, while it was in US airspace.
If it was all a big joke, unimportant, and harmless like all the regular Dems posting in here tried to dismiss it as; why did mumbles have it shot down? Why did the Pentagon say it was in fact a surveillance balloon?
Oh and sure enough F-22 FTW
Biden praises Top Gun F-22 jet pilot who shot down China spy balloon
An F-22 Raptor out of Langley Air Force base took the balloon down with a single missile at 2.38pm, separating its surveillance payload and sending it plummeting towards the ocean off Myrtle Beach.www.dailymail.co.uk
How does the great ballon caper make democrats look bad?
Exactly. It should have been shot down in the Pacific Ocean or wherever before it even came over land. Biden let's it complete its flight through our whole country. Someone needs to take his freakin keys away.If it was all a big joke, unimportant, and harmless like all the regular Dems posting in here tried to dismiss it as; why did mumbles aka slow Joe aka China first aka where am I have it shot down? Why did the Pentagon say it was in fact a surveillance balloon?
