Maybe Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. can negotiate and end the crisis.

Let’s re-visit the Zeeper Russia/Ukraine-in-NATO arguments for this case:

- its only a defensive alliance, why is USA so butt-hurt?
- there won’t be any offensive missiles on USA’s borders
- its not a formal alliance directed at the USA
- its an independent 3rd country, they can do what they want

Bumbling Biden sure is working hard for China. What has he not done in China’s favor? He is surely going to put up a great stink about this.

A secret base on Cuba.

So much more effective than “weather balloons”.
