Paranoia is good for intelligence agency budgets, so they peddle it...
I’ll need a big budget to round up and eat all the crab Rangoon from my local Chinese place.
They male excellent Crab Rangoon.
Especially those in our government.

“Wait a goll darn minute — I thought Russia was our enemy!!”
Russia and China are strawmen created by democrats to take the focus off of them.
