Legit question: we have spy satellites, right? They collect data on China. They know it too.
You ok with China shooting down a spy satellite ? Why is a satellite ok, but a ballon is pearl clutching time ?
She started with why not use an EMP or something like that. I gave her my opinion which is it’s way too late to control the narrative we already look like morons. Since we didn’t shoot it down over the Aleutians which should have been the response just track it, jam it if it’s transmitting, and shoot it down when it gets back over water. Waaaay to late to act with a determined and forceful response.This is bigly.
If this was Russian and trump you’d be claiming that he refuses to do anything because he doesn’t want to make daddy Putin mad
Legit question: We have warships in the middle of the ocean. Why is that any different than if they pull up 1 mile off the coast of China?
I've actually come to believe that the Trump is beholden to Putin thing is unlikely. Not impossible. But unlikely.
I do think Putin knew (and knows) how to appeal to Trump's ego. Add to that Trump's desire to show he was Putin’s equal, such that he could choose to believe him, and I think Trumps ego simply kept getting the better of him, as it has so often before.
In most classical tragedies, the downfall of the hero is a direct result of hubris. Trump has that fatal flaw in buckets.On that we agree. Trump’s ego was his biggest fault and others used it to their advantage (for good and bad). Kim K for example used his ego and her ex husband as a way to get multiple people released from prison. “Hey, my husband loves you, you should hear me out about x”
