I agree. If we "Jeff Sessions" our response, then the Chinese (and Iran, and other enemies) will do something even worse to us very soon.
This cannot be a muted response.

EXCLUSIVE: COVID-19 originated in a Wuhan laboratory not as a bioweapon, but as part of China's effort to demonstrate that its efforts to identify and combat viruses are equal to or greater than the capabilities of the United States, multiple sources who have been briefed on the details of early actions by China's government and seen relevant materials tell Fox News.
This may be the "costliest government coverup of all time," one of the sources said.
The sources believe the initial transmission of the virus was bat-to-human, and that "patient zero" worked at the laboratory, then went into the population in Wuhan. Asked by Fox News' John Roberts about the reporting, President Trump remarked at Wednesday's coronavirus press briefing, "More and more we're hearing the story...we are doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation."
Documents detail early efforts by doctors at the lab and early efforts at containment. The Wuhan wet market initially identified as a possible point of origin never sold bats, and the sources tell Fox News that blaming the wet market was an effort by China to deflect blame from the laboratory, along with the country's propaganda efforts targeting the U.S. and Italy.
U.S. Embassy officials warned in January 2018 about inadequate safety at the Wuhan Institute of Virology lab and passed on information about scientists conducting risky research on coronavirus from bats, The Washington Post reported Tuesday...…
Additionally, the sources tell Fox News the World Health Organization (WHO) was complicit from the beginning in helping China cover its tracks.

Thank you for the link! Great posts, and analysis too.
Now THIS, is truly diabolical, and a smoking gun of intent, especially if flights from Wuhan itself were only allowed to international destinations. How well sourced is that story, do you know? Thanks!
I have been saying this since the 1st deaths in the US, as have many others. Yes we have been attacked. Its really hard to say what next given the internal US discoed where Democrats will side with China before they buy into a response against China.
I do think though that the US will now go active with its military / political / and economic conflict with China. For the immediate future I see a full divestment from China but at some point there will be a conflict.
Fully arm Taiwan with F35s and many other top line weapons as well as Japan by removing all military constraints.
Welcome to WW-C.
He informed the Chinese that the US had arrested 3 in connection with the Bioweapon attack on China, including Dr.Charles Lieber, Harvard University Chairman of the Department of Chemistry and Chemical Biology.
Prosecutors say Lieber agreed to conduct research, publish articles and apply for patents on behalf of China's Wuhan University of Technology in exchange for $50,000 per month and about $150,000 in living expenses. He also received $1.5 million to establish a research lab at the Chinese University.

Remember this incident?
Lieber's student. Zaosong Zeng stole 21 vials of bio-research and attempted to smuggle them out of the US on a flight to China. He lied about the contents in his luggage, but later admitted he had stolen the vials from the lab at Beth Israel.

I don’t recall who said it, but they were talking about it tonight on Fox. Might have been on Tucker’s show.
Good to know, thanks for your posts and reply.
China did eventually start prohibiting foreign “tours” at least, but I think what they were saying is that there was a window between when they locked down Wuhan and when they prohibited foreign travel, and that they knew full well during that time, obviously, that the situation was very dangerous.
I just went back through my recordings of tonight’s shows on Fox. It wasn’t Tucker’s show after all. It was at the beginning of Hannity. He had Bret Baier on to talk about the fact that multiple sources were reporting to Fox that they now believe the virus originated in the Wuhan lab. As Hannity was doing his lead-in to that segment, he mentioned a series of other things that were discovered in both classified and open-source documents, including the fact that the Chinese government locked down Wuhan, but allowed international travel out of Wuhan to continue. During his interview with Brett Baier, I don’t think Baier ever got to that point himself since they were mostly talking about the lab, but Hannity mentioned the travel policy difference again to him, and also mentioned what that implies about China’s motives, and Baier didn’t contradict him.
“...The only question is was it man made and was it released with intention....”
There is one other question: Who were their U.S. collaborators on the release? Their names need to be made public knowledge.
“government locked down Wuhan, but allowed international travel out of Wuhan to continue”
Deliberate seeding or allowing foreign nationals out is the question.?
“...Will the Dems and other leftists stay on the side of the enemy Chicoms all the way?...”
Yes, they will. Why? Because they most likely colluded with the CCP on the release. The domestic communist RATS had as much to gain from it as the CCP did. Communists are communists whether they’re in China or the USA. They’re “birds of a feather”. The names of those in the U.S. that colluded with the CCP need to be made public and then stand back and let the “unwashed masses” do their “thing”.
“...I bet this worm was in on it....”
It wouldn’t the least bit surprising to find out that creepy, little POS helped engineer it.
I made a mistake with the term. please disregard.
Sorry
I don’t know, but combined with reports that China dispatched agents to buy up protective gear and sanitizer in the U.S. and Europe and ship it to China, and reports that Chinese state hackers tried to disrupt the operations of U.S. medical institutes and hospitals involved in fighting the virus, I think it’s obvious that China at a minimum tried to take advantage of the pandemic to inflict damage on western countries, and may have actually intended this entire thing from the start as an attack.
Which one it is really doesn’t matter, both are blatant acts of war and should be responded to accordingly.
Full Tarantino. Now!!

That's the way I see it. Trillions in Chinese money should go to damages (health, lives lost, and economic chaos they willfully caused).
I agree. If we "Jeff Sessions" our response, then the Chinese (and Iran, and other enemies) will do something even worse to us very soon.
