“Should I stay or should I go?”
Blinken had been scheduled to meet with top officials in China Feb. 5-6 in a follow-up to President Joe Biden’s meeting with Chinese paramount leader Xi Jinping in Bali in November, in which Biden pledged to “maintain open lines of communication” with Beijing at a time of worsening bilateral tensions.
But that was scuttled after the Pentagon announced Thursday that it had discovered a Chinese airship hovering over Montana, saying it had “very high confidence” the balloon had been sent to the U.S. to collect sensitive information.
The balloon’s intrusion constituted a “clear violation of our sovereignty” and prompted the State Department to indefinitely delay Blinken’s visit until “conditions are right,” a senior State Department official said in a press briefing.
Conditions will be right when Americans forget about the spy balloon (and these days that takes about 24 hours) and then Secretary of State Blinken can make the trip to focus on “partnering with China” in the fight against the weather by buying garbage Chinese ‘green’ technology and taxing Americans to pay for it.
If Blinken went, he’d have to confront Hunter Biden’s paymasters, which would be awkward and unconvincing. China would respond Wolf Warrior style, Blinken wouldn’t be able to ante up and Kerry would cry about how the world will end next Tuesday unless we buy more Communist slave labor solar panels.
So Blinken ducks China. And China learns once again that America blinks and then blinks harder. And then pretends nothing happened.
Cowardice in the face of the enemy.
The Biden administration talks tough to Americans, but is gutless in the face of the enemy.
This is going to cause serious repercussions. The Chicoms knew the Beijing Biden administration was weak and subservient but now they know they can do anything they want with impunity. They’re going to act on this information. America is a target now and they know Taiwan has no protection from this treasonous administration.
No enemy probes for weakness and doesn’t act when they encounter no resistance. Not in any military history I’ve ever read.
I doubt those rice dicked little slants would try to nuke us in a sneak attack because they want to seize our resources and infrastructure and relocate their excess population here. Not that a land invasion could possibly be successful because America has more guns in private ownership than there are people and law enforcement is heavily armed.
That spy balloon may have a weapons platform and it’s already reportedly flown over at least three air bases. I notice it’s flight path took it next to or over Offut air base too, the most important air base in the country. For some reason, not even Newsmax or Real America’s Voice have commented on that. I suspect the commander of the base would’ve shot it down if it went directly over, the Pentagon and White House be damned.
Am I the only one who thinks it’s headed for DC? Does it have EMP capability? Chemical or biological payloads? Who the fuck knows.

But I know this; China probed the US for weakness and found abject surrender. They think the population is just as weak as the administration and although they’re wrong, they have a point. We’ve allowed a corrupt criminal with stage four or five Alzheimer’s to be President and we’ve allowed his handlers to reduce our standard of life to Third World levels. They think we’re bendovers…..and they’re right.
We’re in real trouble with this.
The Chinese are Brilliant ! Gee.. it would be easy to attach a nuclear weapon to the balloons ! A simple , cheap delivery system that the U.S. would apparently ignore and or be indecisive until it was to late about what to do about it. Fascinating……
Sorry about the repetitive bullshit but this comment program won’t let us post comments which are “too long” so I had to copy and paste the final bit of my comment and my piece of shit laptop included some text that was already submitted.
Sorry.
“The Biden administration talks tough to Americans, but is gutless in the face of the enemy.”
How true! How very true!
Blinken is a limp noodle. An empty suite. The Chinese are in the game to win, we are not, and they know it.
Yes, the people running the country now are actually in the game to lose, and it’s all by design. Really heart-breaking.
And wallet breaking.
Would it have made any difference if Blinken had gone ahead with his plans to go to China? Probably not. Blinken is afraid of his own shadow; how could be possibly face Xi Ping? China has seen what’s going on in this administration and is playing along with the “diplomacy” game. Optics rule the day.
He was just going there to suck Xi’s dick, so no loss to anybody except Xi.
Love Trump’s terse advice:

They are trying to spin it as, by not sending blinken we are punishing the chinese.
What an embarrassment.
That weakling Air Force general that has been fielding questions from the press, what a tool.
He should commit hari cari for his childrens sake.
Or Republicans winning elections against a Left they don’t actually oppose in the long term. Not so likely these days because Covid made it clear globalism is their only security.
All that seems to remain is infighting between two media delineated factions. When the MSM crumbles there might only be one faction.
