China on Monday launched military drills around Taiwan, Beijing’s defence ministry said, sending planes and ships to encircle the self-ruled island.

In a statement, Taiwan’s defence ministry condemned the “irrational and provocative behavior” and said it had “dispatched appropriate forces to respond accordingly to protect freedom and democracy, and defend the sovereignty” of Taiwan

Well that was an interesting experiment. I searched for the string "China News Taiwan" in google and got nothing. I searched Epic browser and got all kinds of hits:

Yup! The sh*t is hitting the fan because N.korea, China, Iran and Russia know that there’s no way the 2 puppets and Obama are capable of handling foreign wars. Soon we’ll have 4….thanks to the democrats. Plus these countries want to get it all going strong before January when Trump is President. Perhaps democrats want to leave Trump with total chaos because they know Kamala is toast. Democrats have already crapped on Trump with covid.

We should stay out of these wars. Let the Chinese do what the Chinese do.

“Why cant I find a confirmation story on this? Google?”

Neither can I. I just see a post on “X” and that is all.

I guess if I had an “X” account I could post
“Martians surround the United States!” and it would go around the world and be thought of as true.

If you were Xi, would election month not be preferred time to make a move?

Better than 50% chance Dems will plunge us into chaos in the next few months.
