Blinken Says Spy Balloon Incident Is Water Under The Bridge
Daily Caller ^ | June 19, 2023 | Dylan Housman

Posted on 06/19/2023 8:26:47 PM PDT by The_Media_never_lie

Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in an interview with NBC News on Monday that the U.S. has moved past its spy balloon dustup with China from earlier in 2023.

Blinken told NBC’s Janis Mackey Frayer in Beijing “that chapter should be closed,” referring to the deterioration of relations that occurred after a Chinese spy balloon was caught flying across the United States in February. Blinken’s trip to China to meet with top Chinese Communist Party (CCP) officials had originally been scheduled around the same time the balloon was discovered, but was rescheduled as a result.

Why did this dufus have to say this? It seems really dumb. They spied on us, we did nothing to them. And now, he is telling them "that's ok".

And unleashing a biological weapon upon the world causing death, destruction of businesses and economies, and damaging the mental health of a generation of children shouldn’t come be a big issue amongst comrades.

This is the same BS tactic that was used during the Obama years whenever a potential scandal popped up - "we've moved on from that", "that is old news" (even when it wasn't) - and the media dutifully stopped reporting on it.

I recently read that Biden wanted to apologize to Xi for taking down their spy balloon, but his aides advised him not to.

Xi and company have all the evidence in the world against the Biden crime family so Biden is going to bend over and lick some Xi ass to keep his trap shut

"Water under a bridge" like being on a boat under a Dave Matthews Band tour bus. We're covered in sewage and Blinken is telling us to thank China for it.

Blinken is “water” in Xi’s urinal.

I saw a short clip of him giving a press conference yesterday.
He looked like he was scared s#!tless.

Maybe he always looks like that.

It is amazing to see so many highly educated diplomats fall into the same American Naiveté’ trap time and time again. Talented individuals caught up in the fallacy of not fully understanding the opponent’s mentality.

When an administration projects confusion, weakness, insecurity and timidity, the other side (China, Russia, NORKS, Iran, etc.), all take advantage of this by moving their Chess pieces across the globe, America loses her status as a superpower.

The Obama years (disaster) remedies by the Trump years (Power projection), now mixed with the Biden years (disaster on a magnitude higher than the Obama years) you get what we are seeing unfold across the planet:

US retreat Enemy nations advance.
