Physical Confrontation Involving Gen. Kelly & the 'Nuclear Football' During Trump China Visit
Gateway Pundit ^ | February 18, 2018 | Joshua Caplan

Posted on 02/18/2018 4:50:14 PM PST by mairdie

When the U.S. military aide carrying the nuclear football entered the Great Hall, Chinese security officials blocked his entry. (The official who carries the nuclear football is supposed to close to the president at all times, along with a doctor.)

A U.S. official hurried into the adjoining room and told Kelly what was happening. Kelly rushed over and told the U.S. officials to keep walking - "We're moving in," he said - and the Americans all started moving.

Then there was a commotion. A Chinese security official grabbed Kelly, and Kelly shoved the man's hand off of his body. Then a U.S. Secret Service agent grabbed the Chinese security official and tackled him to the ground.

The grand majority of the money we spend on a lot of worthless “made in China” stamped items goes into the pockets of the Peoples Army of China. We, the United States of America are supporting the weapons build up of Red China. We do it every time we purchase a made in China item. I read a detailed article about this some years ago. Yup, we are building up Red China’s new nuke navy and its new submarine force, their new missiles and nukes. We, the people, are doing a great job of supporting not only our military, but theirs as well.

"Being "chiseled" doesn't translate into fighting skill, sorry. Training, technique and physical conditioning (specifically cardio) does."

And that kind of training does not lead to becoming chiseled! Oh, no! The fastest ones with the most endurance and second nature technique look like professional wrestlers from the 1960s! 300 pounds of corn fed, high speed endurance! Better, yet, if they're geezers like me! Old goats have had even more training, technique and physical conditioning that those young whippersnappers.

;-D

When Obama went there he probably left the football home. He wouldn’t be needing it for bowing, etc.

He let SoS Kerry handle it.

the Chinese people could not hold the American President in higher regard. Chinese citizens could be heard referring to POTUS as “Donald the Strong,” “Uncle Trump,” and “Grand Commander.””

Well, yeah...just because Western liberals have fostered a culture which values weakness and victimhood above anything else doesn't mean other cultures don't still value strength.

I like those, but I'm partial to 'Donaldus Magnus', myself.

Remember when Dubya was in Indonesia or somewhere and they tried to block his SS guy? The President walked over and grabbed his guy by the collar and dragged him on by. Bush was an ahole but he had stones.

The Secret Service guy deserves a raise.

He needs a few months of intensive karate and kung fu lessons for the next visit to ChiCom land. Dittos for 10 other SS agents that go to China next time. So that next time they are equipped to do the Karate Boogaloo on the Chinese heads.

Good to know some Secret Service agents still act the part.

The affirmative action SS agents were left behind to guard the White House chicken coop and bee hives. Trump took only the SS elite with him to China.

Thanks for that.

The fact, there is no more nuclear football.

The officer that used to carry it was never always at the side of the President. He was often in the next room or down the hall, always within seconds of the President, but rarely ever side by side.

Chinese are arrogant sobs.

90% of Chinese are Han Chinese. it used to be higher. The Han Chinese see themselves as the inheritors of the Ming Dynasty and inheritors of 4000+ years of Chinese civilization. They feel they are the world's superior people or at least half of them do. A superior race same as the Japanese feel, though this is diminishing for the Japanese. People like to yap about the "choseness" of the Jews. The Han and the Japanese have an air of "choseness" about them too. So do the Arab Muslims who can easily pull rank on all other Muslims. Why? Because Muhammad was an Arab who called his Arab Muslim companions (early followers) "The best of people". Plus to really know The Koran it must be studied in the original which is a classical Arabic

"The Ming Dynasty was the ruling dynasty of China from 1368 to 1644. It was the last ethnic Han-led dynasty in China, supplanting the Mongol-led Yuan Dynasty before falling to the Manchu-led Qing Dynasty."
