How things work in Washington D.C. And how things work in the real world.
“I think the Chinese were humiliated,” Schumer said on ABC’s “This Week.” “I think the Chinese were caught lying. I think it’s a real step back for them.”
“I think they are probably gonna have to get rid of it or do something,” Schumer said. “Because they look really bad.”
Or something. And what if they don’t?
One of the nation’s top elected officials doesn’t seem to grasp why China might want to fly a spy balloon over Montana. Beijing wasn’t trying to get information about our dairy operations, the PRC was spying on our defense installations in the homeland. That’s serious prep for a war.
China is thinking about beating us in a war that might escalate to the point of being fought in the United States or that will involve a possible nuclear exchange.
That’s levels of seriousness being caring if it looks “really bad”. It is really bad.
In D.C., being caught in a failed spy operation requires urgent damage control because no one there is serious and everything is small ball. China just pushes harder because it really is serious about world domination. And at the very least toppling us as a superpower. Its wolf warrior diplomacy is based on that premise.
China hasn’t apologized for the espionage, it doubled down with more threats.
To Senator Schumer, everything is perception. He doesn’t really believe in anything, like a lot of top Democrats, and reality is just how you spin it. He’s currently enabling the leftist destruction of the United States because it’s good for his career. If the Chinese make a good enough offer, he’ll go to work for them. And he won’t be the first.
The Chinese are serious. They don’t care if they’ve been caught lying, they care whether their lying advances their strategic goals. And those goals are reality-based, not perception-based. They want to win. Our leaders don’t even have any concept of what winning looks like.
lolol, what a title, first thing in awhile that cracked me up with laughter 🙂
On the other hand, excellent point on what is serious and what isn’t. I first learned that as a teenager back in the 1960s. It still sticks vividly in my memory.
What I meant was, the idea that the ChiComs care that they look bad is absurd, and Schumer’s view is absurd. If I had an editor I would delete my above comment because I don’t think my meaning is clear.
I liked it. Although I don’t know what you referred to in the 1960s.
Schumer since the election of AOC to the House has sold out completely to the woke left
He’s trying to survive a DSA challenge, which he won’t anyway.
And we don’t have any leaders since Trump was forced out.
When was he ever not a full on leftie?
Schumer knows his audience, and he knows you also. These liars know the exact number of idiots that will believe any lie they tell.
He is not in any way trying to coerce you over to his side or way of thinking.
Your belief system will be adjusted in the near future. In his opinion
Excellent column! Spot on. Weren’t the Taliban going to be moderate out of a decent concern for “world opinion” or something, too? How did that work out?
Sure. Much like Iran and North Korea.
Somehow it never worked out because they don’t think like we do.
But our elites still double down on assuming that the Ayatollahs, the Mullahs and the Kims want the same stuff we do.
Actually, North Korea was tamed when Trump was President. Lil’ Kim actually likes him and stopped lobbing missiles over Japan.
He screwed up with Iran. though.. The mullahs should’ve bee missile killed back in 1976 or whenever it was they seized our embassy.And President Trump could’ve nailed them with a big fat missile while the were all in their evil headquarters or whatever they call it.
Given the behavior of the American leaders on the left, it appears that they do want the same things as the Ayatollahs, the Mullahs and the Kims: our complete destruction.
Same way the Hamas has become moderate
Remember, Chuck Schumer is a liar. Can we believe anything he says?
Schumer is like a lemming running off the cliff with the rest of his corrupt party
So, what will Shumer say if China levitates an overflowing outhouse above Biden and releases the foul contents on his head? ” Boy, good, old Joe really showed ’em that time!”
Bullies always let you know that they are bullies and that they expect people to submit to humiliation, beatings, and theft. China is a nation that has been an international bully for most of its existence, except during periods where corruption made it weak.
