@WalshFreedom I don't really care, but the athletes involved should have been advised to conduct themselves with a sense of place and proper decorum. The trashy images circulating reflect poorly on the country, a shameful display, but so much is these days.
@RippleXrpie Trump is a buffoon. He was too lazy to prepare, so he gives the CCP a propaganda victory without realizing it. Then he worsens it with post-summit blatherings. If you want an America that looks timid, short-sighted, and senseless, he's drfinitely the guy.
@DerekPederson3 We'll win the AI race, in which case, China's massive superiority in drones will be irrelevant, or we'll surrender Taiwan. But we shouldn't say that, cuz we gain deterrence from the Hamburger Hill principle.
@animalfarmnow@McFaul He may think he's being diplomatic because he's personally moved by inane flattery. He's not going to move Xi with that shit. He just looks like he's kissing ass. That's how the Chinese will take it. Rest of the world will take it as: Americans elected a game show host for Prez.
@XDex91@tommysantos14@PeteHegseth@DeptofWar He also doesn't want to capitalize CAPTAIN for emphasis, so he confusingly uses quotation marks, implying irony. Just the level of precision we'd expect from Hegseth.
