Don't worry. Sheep-buggerer Patel in on the case.

They were sold by someone high up in the administration.

These people have zero loyalty to anything but themselves.

With any luck, there will be investigations and convictions for all of it, this likely espionage for sure.

And all the constant attention on China? As is the norm with these s*&^bags, they were tipping their cards. All of them are in on making money with China behind closed doors.

Capitalism doesn't have loyalty to anyone.

Trump will pocket the money.

Somehow, I doubt if this was an accident.

The Incompetence of this administration was not an accident.

Did Hegseth forget his vow of sobriety and push the wrong button while in a stupor.

Well, he was a risky, unqualified hire who got the big head so the buck stops with Donald Trump, the other risky, unqualified hire who got the big head.

Australia is on its way to becoming a Chinese colony. These were Australian owned parts. Raw story got you again.

Based on Pete's weight lifting and workout videos suggest he should be screened first.

@#8 ... The Incompetence of this administration was not an accident. ...

Agreed.

Pres Trump has placed unfettered loyalty to himself over and above the competence of those who report to and advise him.

And what has been the result of that?

Well, for starters, the apparent neglect of any manner of security by Sec Defense Hegseth when he holds a conference call that may have discussed classified information while a magazine reporter was invited to participate, and did participate, in that call.

Yeah it all started with Nixon playing nice with China after getting an azzwhupin' in 'Nam... then Carter favorite trading partners... blah blah blah...

You trying to scare us with yer favorite ghost story?

Looky here...
Asians were the original settlers migrating into the Americas... sooo they've started coming here 20,000 years... or more...ago. nnnnnkay? Not the planet's first rodeo with Chinese migration/Asian diaspora into this hemisphere...

beeee-sdies...
Y'all keep talking about China, Iran, and Russia as if they weren't cahoots... passing Trumpanzee around like a hammered (possibly female) hoochie entertaining sailors on shore leave... not to mention S.Korea is about to cut our water off... looking to Mexico and Canada... do you think N.Korea is going to pick up the slack?

The Cold War we've engaged in... with Iran... since 1953... is now a hot one.

ooooo China... China...China
