2000g balloon is only a few hundred dollars. Does someone want to take a gamble?
If you've seen some of his past voting records you'll know he's definitely a CCP agent.

The so called Blinken - Xi trip was probably fake. China wouldn't want Xi to talk to Blinken, but to Biden. If the US wants to be stubborn, then Blinken meets with no one. Lol.
US is sacrificing itself to save Europe. All these energy exports have inflation and environmental impact for US consumers. while European engineering is spreading its wings to make all the raw materials countries depend on them. infact there is talk of Airbus Germany making more of F-35 parts. Europe may buy $100b worth of US weopons over 10 years but there will be European engineering inside that $100b and European engineering inside the raw materials of weopons.
I will even go further if Chinese didnot bought so much German vehicles it would not be in this situation as German wealth created at faster speed is behind European integration project that is foundation of European semi equipment and other precision machinery exports to others.
Seems to me that they are still outgunned, or out coast guarded.
Approach Chinese islands, and the Chinese coast guard will arrive. In tonnage and numbers, likely more than anything that the Americans can muster.
The Americans causing rucksacks over this, that certainly will play well in this neighbourhood.
The American strategy, is that there is no strategy. All it is, it is provocation for the sake of provocation.
It is like banning Huawei repeatedly. Again and again, like this past week, again, lol.
It is like the freedom of navigation operations.
Those Huawei bans and FONOP have achieved next to nothing. One balloon, and seems like one move to checkmate, lol.
We can expect more Huawei bans and FONOP next week.
The Chinese balloon is over Missouri, US senator from Missouri:
This whole thing is so funny! Haha! Haha!
Okay, this I google search engine right now.
What is coulrophobia? Coulrophobia (COOl-ruh-FOE-bee-uh) is a fear (phobia) of clowns. Children and adults who fear clowns may experience extreme, irrational reactions when they see clowns in person or view pictures or videos of clowns.
That is what this whole episode is about.
When confronted with a toy balloon, we find out that the Americans are afraid of clowns.
Did not see that one coming, lol, lol, lol,
Haha! Hehe! Hee Haw!
Typical redneck. Shoot first, ask questions later.
Sounds like the anglos are already conspiring with the Indian oppositio- see, this is why the anglos want to force democracies on everyone, easier to divide and rule.
lol Hu Xujin trolling as always
comparing white supremacists to their indo~European cousins of the subcontinent will not go down well
Even by your standards that's a bad take. America isn't sacrificing itself to save Europe, the opposite is happening. When America tells a Dutch semiconductor company to stop exporting to China how does it help them? Sanctions affect resource deprived Europe far more than the affect America.
It's most apparent in the military industry, where Europeans are voluntarily disarming themselves of their European made weapons. Rearming is going to be difficult - most of the European military industry has disappeared or is very uncompetitive compared to the American MIC. It will just be cheaper to just buy ready to go American platforms instead of developing their own after two decades of stagnation.
A graph showing VW has no bearing on the point you are making, it's like you've merged two seperate wrong posts into one. It's also wrong.
The reason German cars are (were) popular in China is because they are good compared to the domestic alternative. Once domestic cars improve in quality, all those VW sales will disappear.
This isn't even conjecture, it's exactly what happened in Japan. In the 60s everyone in Japan drove American cars, how many American cars do you see on Japanese roads today?
