Do they mean “Push too hard and we’ll give you the Biden Energy Program treatment”?

China can likely do the same to the U.S., especially under the Biden administration.

India’s suggested response.

Push too hard and people could stop breathing.

I find this very troublesome. From the article:

“And the United States has engaged in similar signaling. After the Department of Homeland Security announced publicly that the American power grid was littered with code inserted by Russian hackers, the United States put code into Russia’s grid in a warning to President Vladimir V. Putin.

Now the Biden administration is promising that within weeks it will respond to another intrusion — it will not yet call it an attack — from Russia, one that penetrated at least nine government agencies and more than 100 corporations.”

I agree. Under Biden for sure. They would have never done so while Trump was in.

Partner, I never went to Iran but China is so pitiful and you are correct in saying that they are one of the filthiest countries in the world.

Which is why people who think a war with China is a good idea are nuts. They would cut off some vital supplies to the US in a heartbeat.

I should have been more specific. By “filthy” I basically meant dangerous...those two being China and Pakistan.In terms of cleanliness I’ve been to China and India (but not Pakistan) and those two were,in fact,appallingly dirty.
